When I said that Highland Heather Lodges, where we had a three-day stay last month, had a ton of different activities right on its doorstep, I really wasn’t joking. Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre was literally just a five minute drive from our cabin, which placed it pretty high on our list of things to do in Perthshire…

Earlier this summer, Max, Terry and I were invited to try out Universal Orlando’s water park, Volcano Bay. Here’s how we got on, and how we handled our first trip to a water park with a toddler in tow…

Drummond Castle Gardens are always right at the top of any list of things to do in Crieff, and when you take a look at the photos in this post, it’s really not hard to see why…

Last weekend, Max officially turned 18 months old, and I turned 172. Or that’s what it feels like, anyway. A year-and-a-half of parenthood has both passed in a flash, and crawled by so slowly I’ve sometimes wondered if time was going backwards. It feels like just a few weeks since I was heading to the hospital, with my collection of badly-packed bags, but, at the same time, it feels like at least 7 years since I got out of bed this morning, and it’s currently only 11am. So while I don’t want to be That Person who’s all, “Oh, the days are long, but the years are short!” I totally AM going to be that person, because OMG, THE DAYS, THEY ARE LONG. Reeeeaaalllly, reeeaaalllly long.
