Celebrating International Women's Day with a wee dram, not from a bottle, courtesy of the Scottish Women's Convention on Friday at Glasgow City Chambers. Still love this building and brings back some nice family memories....Maria appreciated the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer!

Had a wonderful day yesterday celebrating the first year of the Hive in Lennoxtown. I have met so many incredible people while volunteering here this last year and am absolutely delighted that so many in the local community came out to celebrate with us yesterday. Looking forward to next year and beyond, especially as we will be providing even more well-being sessions for individuals and groups.

Since May 2024 I've been on the board of a local charity in Lennoxtown called The Hive.
As well as providing a community shop and warm space, we've had holistic therapists providing well-being sessions for the local community, and we'll be continuing to do that this year.
I've held some well-being workshops and menopause masterclasses as well as providing 1-2-1 sessions in Hypnotherapy, Hopi Ear Candling and Indian Head Massage. I've added a link to the website for anyone who stays nearby and would like to find out more, and some photos of the well-being space upstairs (the art is provided by the charity chairperson who is also an incredible artist!!).

Together we can make a difference and provide hope to those who need it most.

Last year, I signed up for not one, but two cooking classes. Over 12 weeks I learned (and made) some incredibly tasty and healthy recipes, met amazing people, learned some more about food and nutrition, and topped if off by being invited to speak about it in a podcast! All because I dreaded helping Maria with her math homework (a hang up from my school days) despite loving statistics as part of my degree and working in finance for over 15 years!
At the start of 2024 I had no idea this would be such a big part of my year and beyond. Hope you all had some amazing unexpected surprises in 2024 and here's to even better ones in 2025!!
You can have a listen to the podcast here :)

Now that the school holidays are over, Luke and I are out for a couple of hours and I get some time to relax while he enjoys the ball pit. Missing Maria after having her with me daily for the past couple of months but back to work for me on Friday building my new website.

First time here....celebrating International Women's Day

For the past 2 weeks I've been attending a cookery class on a Thursday evening to help my maths skills and cooking skills.
Last week we made chicken and vegetable korma with naan bread...an added bonus is that the recipes include ingredients that are 'menopause friendly'. So, for me this is self care as I get to learn, be creative and do something I enjoy, plus i get to meet some lovely new people as well as eat healthy meals and work on my maths skills to help my family with homework!!
Lorna at Ramekin and Rolling Pin in Kirkintilloch has some really great classes, and is a great chef and teacher!
Really looking forward to the next 4 weeks and so are the family!!
