Scottish Mum Blog - Writing from Aberdeen
Walking in the rain, or blogging in the snow. On the path to enlightenment, wear comfy shoes.
Kelloggs sent us a big pack of Rice Krispies, with a fab case of colouring pens, colour changers, glitter glues and more. The colouring pack alone has kept my kids entertained for a few days now, and they’ve rediscovered an enjoyment of colouring in again. Middler has learning difficulties, but he likes to colour in.

As a Scotty Brand Blogger, I am loving the boxes of goodies arriving with instructions on how to make something that I haven’t made before. This week, the challenge was to make Carrot and Orange soup, which I managed quite easily. I had a couple of packs of carrots torn open and being chopped within [...]
A lovely Guest Recipe from Lindsey, who you can find on Twitter as @MrsVanderCave, with her blog at backofbeyondbaking.blogspot.com. That topping is perfection by the look of it. ——————————– This recipe is actually for a carrot cake but it makes a big cake which can sometimes be a bit OTT, particularly if you like to watch [...]
Made in Aberdeen by the Scottish Mum kids. Want a speedy dessert that will make kids fall over themselves with delight at having made? One they can share with family and friends, or just to eat themselves? There is nothing difficult about creating such a spectacular tower of indulgency for a sweet dessert to die [...]
Uncovering some family photos, I came across some lovely photographs of my grandmother, that I have not seen in years. We don’t have many photographs as a family, and there are so few of me that it is shocking. I will go to my grave, as almost the faceless entity, mother of 3 adopted children. [...]
Last week, the postman delivered a lovely surprise from the team at Warner Bros. The box was a little battered and bruised from the long journey to the Scottish Mum Family up in Aberdeen. I left it sitting until the boys came home from school, as it was addressed to us all as a family. [...]
It’s that time again, and Christmas is just around the corner. I know, I know, I can hear you all sigh, groan, stamp your feet and run for the hills at the mention of Christmas in October and Early November. The reality is that we either get moving and organise our Christmas presents, or we [...]
Thank you to the lovely Mummy Musings for tagging me in this meme. This meme originated from Lauren of The Real Housewife of Suffolk County. So here is the A-Z of me! ANORAK…Do you have a sad side? I remember what people tell me and I seem to be able to tell when they are telling white lies. [...]
My little pots are growing their leaves and flowers, and I hope, that eventually we will manage to have some lovely little flowers from the pots and containers that are full of gorgeous leaves. Whether they actually have some fruit or not remains to be seen, but hopefully they do. I have spent hours (ok [...]
Image: tungphoto / FreeDigitalPhotos.net It’s not been a good few days in the Scottish world. One high (hmmm) point stands out. For yesterdays plummet to the depths of ridiculousness, you had to be watching my twitter stream. A couple of nights ago, eldest and littler decided they wanted to go to the park with some [...]

I was taken totally out of my comfort zone when I was in London at the Cybermummy Conference on the 26th June. Mixing with a HUGE group of women, none of whom I had ever met before had my stomach growling with the nerves that were threatening to overtake my bold statement at booking myself in for [...]
