  • Escape to Scotland with us! In this vlog we start our 10 day family trip to Scotland, driving over 500 miles from Kent to rural Aberdeenshire to start our summer family holiday. Plus I share our first day exploring the area around Alford and Inverurie and a house tour of the beautiful Airbnb we’re staying in!
    This Little Wonderful Life is where I share vlogs about our daily family life, home organising and adventures living in the south east of the UK. Just a normal family of four, in an average house, living a normal life. Making the best of this little wonderful life we have.

    Love the water and watercolor sketch...lovely! Your husband is sweet and your children darling. Blessed Mama, doing a fine job being a present Mama, but also caring for you.
    Hope you loved your holiday.
    The wine with your husband spoke to my soul. ❤

    I love that you played hide and seek with your children. So motherly and old fashioned; yes that was a grand thing to do! They won’t be children for long. The memories will last for a life time. Thanks for the glimpse of your holiday…..my thanks.
