We’ve got something big to celebrate in the family today—David (aka Dad!) has officially published his book, The Risen God!
After months (okay, years!) of writing, rewriting, and pouring his heart into this story, it’s finally out in the world. We couldn’t be prouder of him and all the hard work he’s put into making this dream a reality.
Here’s David’s message on publication day:
Planned a sweet little outing today—nothing big, just one of those feel-good afternoons. We took a relaxed stroll through Queen’s Park, soaking up the spring air, spotting the first signs of flowers blooming, and letting the pace slow down a bit.
We travelled to Dalgety Bay today to visit Dad. The original plan was to enjoy a picnic at Silver Sands beach, but it was absolutely packed when we arrived. So, we changed course and headed back to the Bay — and what a good decision that turned out to be!

The sun was shining bright, the skies were clear, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot than Balloch Country Park for a little family escape.
We started with a gentle walk through the park, soaking in the fresh air and stunning views over Loch Lomond.
So I stepped out of my comfort zone with my latest read! I usually stick to crime or romance, but I decided to give my husband’s new fantasy book a try—and I’m so glad I did! It’s not my usual genre, but I found myself getting pulled into the world and turning pages to see where the adventure would lead next.
I’ll admit, I got a little confused at times with all the characters (there were quite a few!), but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride. I’m already looking forward to book 2!
Super proud of my hubby for creating such an imaginative story.

Just like that, we’ve got another teenager in the house! 🎉
Happy 13th birthday to our car-obsessed, football-mad bundle of mischief, Oliver! Time really does fly, and it feels like just yesterday we were celebrating your 10th birthday. Where does the time go? You’ve grown so much, and we couldn’t be prouder of the person you’re becoming.
Here’s to many more years of fun, laughter, and, of course, your love for cars and football! Enjoy every moment of being a teenager — we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings for you. Happy Birthday again, our favourite mischief-maker!
What a fantastic morning of football with the boys, made even better by the beautiful spring weather. 🌞
Oliver had an outstanding cup game today! His team led 1-0 at halftime, and Oliver scored the crucial goal to level it at 2-2, sending the match to penalties. The tension was high, but Oliver stepped up in the shootout and scored, helping secure the win for his team. It was such an emotional game, full of incredible teamwork and camaraderie from the boys — one of those moments you just know they’ll remember forever!
Lewis also put in an awesome performance, showing great effort and determination, even though his team fell to a 5-2 defeat. His energy and spirit were top-notch, and we couldn’t be prouder of his performance!

After feeling unwell for an entire week, I finally managed to step outside for a refreshing walk today. It was such a delightful change, and honestly, the fresh air did wonders for lifting my spirits! Sometimes, all you need is a little stroll to remind you of the simple joys in life.
P.S. Happy New Year! I hope 2025 brings lots of happiness, health, and wonderful moments for everyone. Let’s make it a great one!
16 years ago, our world completely changed when Alexander came into our lives. How time flies! You are the most wonderful gift we’ve ever received, and every day with you has been a treasure.
Happy birthday to the person who made us parents. We’ve had our ups and downs, countless laughs, tears, and so many precious memories along the way. we are beyond proud of the young man you’ve become.
We spent a lovely little hour at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum—just enough time for a quick wander through some of our favourite exhibits and a quiet moment or two soaking in the beauty of the space.
Afterward, we headed over to Dockyard Social for a laid-back afternoon of street food and waffles with friends. Great company in the form of Alex, Petya, Alex’s brother, and his family made it even better. Good chats, good eats, and a really good vibe all around.

Today, David and I decided to take a quiet stroll through Linn Park. Just the two of us, enjoying some peaceful time together away from the hustle and bustle. The weather was perfect for a walk, with the autumn air crisp but not too chilly, and the park looked beautiful with the trees starting to show their golden hues.

The Brammers – Wedding & Function Band had everyone up on their feet with their incredible tunes, creating a perfect atmosphere for a night to remember.
