On Friday, we took a trip to Dundee and found ourselves at the Butterfly Cafe (28-32 Commercial Street). Butterfly Cafe prides itself on being a colourful, fun and interactive cafe that allows children and babies to eat, learn and play in a safe and happy environment. Not only is the…
The last few weekends have been lovely and Penny and I have made full use of all the glorious sunshine. As we gear up to summer, let’s talk children’s clothing, toys and sun protection with Nivea, La Coqueta & Little Tikes… Using the right sun protection is incredibly important. Penny and…
Last week I had my 20-week scan and honestly, I could have stared at that little blurry screen for hours. I had a trainee sonographer so the process took a little longer which I took great enjoyment in. I can’t believe that I’m already halfway there. That little misshapen blob that I…
When the lovely team over at Little Tikes UK contacted me to write a post highlighting the importance of outdoor as well as promote their fantastic range of interactive outdoor toys, I jumped at the chance! My little girl, Penny (nearly 2), loves to explore outside and, as a creche worker, I…
Unfortunately, I am working tomorrow and was invited to a wedding on Saturday so we had to squeeze all our Easter celebrations into one day. We had so much fun running around the garden finding Easter eggs today. We stuffed our faces with the first ever roast I’ve cooked and spent the…
Shopping for my little girl is one of my favourite things to do. For some reason, as much as I adore River Island* for my own wardrobe, I always overlook their selection of girls shoes and clothes for Penelope. Whilst browsing through their beautiful collection of girls coats and jackets,…
Last year Penny met Santa for the very first time at Dobbies, this year we returned and also treated ourselves a festive afternoon. This is without a doubt my favourite time of year, I’ve always loved Christmas but having Penny to share it with makes it even more magical. It…
Happy December 1st! Can you believe that we are in December already? The countdown is officially on. Every year Christmas gets better and better in our household. As Penny gets older, she gets more curious and excited about the big guy in the red suit. She can now try all the…
Penny is now 16 months and the countdown until those little jelly legs actually start walking is definitely on. To be honest, I can’t believe how much mischief she can already get herself into. Even though our living room floor is littered with every toy, musical instrument and teether in existence, she’d…
After booking a few nights away at the Piperdam Resort in Dundee next month (hello log cabin and hot tub), it’s safe to say that we’ve been left pretty skint for the rest of the month. Although, this didn’t stop us from having our usual family day out in Edinburgh last…
A few months ago Penny and I discovered Naturelly*, an award-winning jelly juice drink, in our Easter Degustabox. Since then it’s been a lunchbox must have in our house. Naturelly was created by a family who wanted a fuss-free healthier alternative to sweets and chocolate that their kids would love. They wanted something that…
Penny is already 9 months old, she has two teeth, is starting to pull herself up and is eating every piece of fruit and veg I put in front of her – where has my tiny newborn baby gone?! My maternity leave is now officially over and getting Pen into a…
My maternity leave is coming to an end soon *sob* so I’ve been spending my time creating a baby memory book for Penny with the help from Printiki. I picked up this beautiful Peter Rabbit scrapbook at Paperchase, a mountain of washi and double-sided tape from Amazon and downloaded all my…
So, it’s time for a baby update! After several weepy days, Penny’s front tooth has finally made an appearance. She has almost mastered the art of crawling too, so it’s all hands on deck in the Watt household right now. When it comes to weaning, we as a family are taking…
Parenting is usually a topic everyone and their cat has an opinion about. A couple of nights ago Ross and I were debating whether to let Penelope sleep or wake her for her bottle so she would sleep all the way through. An argument could definitely be made for both…
