Hi, I’m Shona.
I live in Stepps just outside Glasgow, Scotland, with my husband John and our little boy Robbie who is 2 years old.
I have had such fun working as a teacher in the East end of Glasgow for 6 wonderful years, however, recently resigned my post to focus my time and energy on Robbie following a difficult time going through IVF cycles trying for a second child.
I use my skills and knowledge from teaching to come up with exciting themes and activities, especially during lockdown (2020) as I wanted to keep Robbie’s day as close to his normal routine as possible and keep my passion for teaching alive.
I also use my new non-working time to bake more, especially with Robbie, which is something I’ve always loved, but never found the time to do regularly.
I decided to create this space to share the fun things we do as I received a huge amount of positive comments and encouragement to share our activities from lots of people following my Facebook posts. I had also seen lots of parents saying how stuck they were for ideas and enthusiasm to keep their kids entertained and educated during the 2020 lockdown.
I hope that by sharing what we’re doing it can give others ideas for fun, easy activities.
