Flying with Kids Ever since we travelled the world, before we had our kids, our passion for seeing new countries has got even stronger. We have passed the travel bug onto our sons who love to visit new places, meet new people and explore different cultures. We took our eldest son on his first flight when he was weeks old before doing our first long haul flight with him when he was 6 months old. Since then we love to fly to different places, several times a year. Although as they’ve got older we no longer need some of the items on flights such as buggies, nappies and baby milk. I still remember having to taste that at security! There...
Top Tips for Raising Happy Boys I remember the slight panic mixed in with extreme happiness I felt when I was told that I had just had son. Having always been quite a girly girl and having a sister I had no idea what to do with boys. Yes I had been a teacher for years so knew what to do with them in the classroom but as a Mum this was a whole new world for me! However the moment I looked at my gorgeous son I knew I would learn, or make up what I didn’t know, quickly! Having now been blessed with another son I feel really strongly about telling the world how fab it is to...
What are good names for Babies? I spent my childhood saying to people yes it's Lynne with an "e" at the end. Then when I got married, things didn't get any better "Yes it's Lynne with an e and Munro without!". To this day I still can't quite believe that we gave our sons, Callum and Elliot, names that could be spelt in different ways. My boys were one of my main reasons for getting into bespoke personalised gifts. I can spell names any way you want. Far too often I would walk into gift shops and see the usual mugs, keyrings, magnets etc that seemed to have lots of other names but not our kids. With more and more parents...
Networking events Scotland Having been a teacher for 17 years and standing up in front of hundreds of adults and kids, I always thought that I was quite a confident person but when I heard the word "networking", when starting my own business I could feel my heart racing. Nervousness and panic washed over my body. Going to meet strangers and have to talk to them. What would I say? Would I sound ridiculous? I think for so long I had always had the label of "teacher" but suddenly I didn't really know what my label was now = I don't see myself as an entrepreneur and being a business woman just sounded so grown up. I had seen the adverts for...
Christmas Countdown Now that the Summer holidays are drawing to an end, it is now time to turn my attention to my other favourite holiday season of the year. Is it to early to mention the "C" word? No of course it's not as it is only a few months until, Christmas! This year as well as personalised Christmas Tree decorations I have sourced some other fantastic Christmas Gifts that can be personalised. I was really keen to make a lot of my gifts not only personal but practical too. With my teacher blood still in me, I am always keen to get little ones interested in reading and so I found an amazing fully illustrated Christmas book that can...
