In 2007, we returned from our family holiday just in time to get caught up in the Glasgow Airport Terror Attack.

I had a very busy, eventful, enjoyable and emotional weekend! On Saturday 3rd July, my sister, Elaine, got married to her lovely partner, Andy. I was very chuffed to be Chief Bridesmaid and my beautiful daughters were delighted to be flower girls.

Here’s a photo of Elaine with Dad and Andy, outside the church.

Today I’d like to share a proud Mommy Moment with you!

My daughters are off school today, as it is an inset (AKA in-service) day, when the schools are closed to pupils to allow the teachers to participate in training workshops. These days are a major pain in the butt for working parents like me, as we have to either take the day off or arrange childcare cover.

I was standing at the checkout at Sainsbury's on my lunch break today, with my basketful of shopping all laid out on the conveyor belt when, out of the blue, a grey-haired old man steps in front of me and places four tins of soup in front of my groceries.

I just came across this great blog called Work Wife Mom Life today, and I spotted that the author hosts a meme which is most definitely right up my street – Working Mommy Wednesday.

I love where I live.  My small town is situated in an ideal location.  It’s close to beautiful countryside, but has great commuter links to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk and Stirling.

Another week, another Mamma Guilt Monday, courtesy of Cop Mama.

I’m taking my girls to see the X Factor Live in Glasgow this evening.  (For my Non-UK readers, X Factor is a TV program akin to American Idol.  In fact, Mr Compliments (AKA Simon Cowell) is giving up his spot on American Idol to take X Factor to the USA.)  This will be the girls’ first pop concert, and I am hoping that they are not too young to enjoy it!  (They are only 5 1/2 years old!  *blushes*)

Another week, another Mamma Guilt Monday.

Today, Mamma Kerr is eating humble pie.

Yesterday, I turned the house upside down looking for my daughter’s shoe. The girls were getting ready to go to a Birthday Party and they needed to put on their shoes. My heart sank when I realised that there were just three shiny black shoes lying in the corner of the livingroom.

On closer inspection, I found that we had 2 size 9′s and only one size 8, so it was Rachel’s shoe that was missing. (Yes, my twin girls have different sized feet!)

I’ve decided to start a new meme – Thankful Thursday - where participants blog about what they are thankful for in the current day / week.

First thing this morning, I wasn’t feeling very thankful. I was feeling very tired and in desperate need of a long lie. When I eventually dragged myself out of my bed and peered outside, all I could see was a swirling white blizzard!

The MckLinky Blog Hop theme for this Monday is “Snow Pics and Stories“. With many places getting their “once every hundred years snow”, MckLinky thought it would be fun to see our snow pics and hear about the snow in our areas.

I live in Scotland, UK, and we have experienced our coldest winter in more than a generation.  The British media has dubbed this winter as “The Big Freeze“.

The weather is  always a hot topic of conversation here in Scotland.  Yes, we Scots just love having a right good moan about it!  Usually we moan about the wind and rain and about how cold it is.  However, many Scots (you know who you are!) even have a winge about the heat on the odd day that the mercury nudges 25 C.
