{Smitten Saturday}

Yesterday evening Bex from The Olive Dragonfly & I went to Cup Tea Lounge in Glasgow City Centre (71 Renfield Street). It was the first time I'd been and I was suitably impressed. The interior of the tea lounge is gorgeous - very opulent - and the staff were lovely.

We had a smoked salmon sharing platter to share which was supposed to come with melba toast, but we swapped it for toasted flat breads and this was washed down with a delicious apple & ginger mojito. We also had a dessert - Tea, Cake & a Biscuit. Peach custard (in the teacup) with a peach shortbread and a mini peach Victoria sponge, served with ice cream. All for £9 each as part of an Itison deal. 

I'll definitely be going back.

What are you smitten with this week?

P.S. I have no idea what's happened to the layout of my photos - but for quickness I'm going ahead and publishing this post even though it looks a bit of a mess! I'll sort it later :-)

{Moo! Bedtime milk}

Today I decided that I was going to ditch the baby bottles and make the move to sippy cups for my children's bedtime & morning milk.

We bought two Cow Cups at the supermarket this morning and they both seemed really excited about their special new cups!

I had envisaged that the toddler (3 years) was going to be harder to persuade than the baby (16 months), however, it ended up being the opposite way round. My son drank his milk beautifully and even asked for the lid to be removed. My daughter on the other hand wasn't keen on the cup. I was determined not to go back to the bottles though, and I gave her some milk in a different cup in case it was too difficult for her to get the milk out of the Cow Cup. She didn't drink the same volume of milk that she would normally from her bottle, but she at least drank some and is now happily asleep in her cot. Result!

Moo! The udderly brilliant Cow Cup

I'm now going to head to the kitchen and hide away all the baby bottles. I won't throw them out just yet, just in case!!

Next up is getting rid of the toddler's dummies and my thoughts are that we'll give them to Santa!

Can't believe how quickly they are both growing up! I've no longer got two little babies... I've got two very independent, confident toddlers on my hands!!

Daughter in her 'coorie doon' pyjamas! (that's me in the background looking horrendous!!)

Say cheese!!

And look what I've just spotted... how cute are these little bird cups!!! They come in green, blue or pink and are suitable for 6 months plus.
