The Best Version of Me

I don’t know but most of the time she looks like me... so they say ! Haha ! And just this morning , I woke up that she was staring at me (oh, she sleeps between me and my husband mostly on early morning, with pillows around her before us, just to be safe) and I looked at her adorable face, and I’ve realised she is the best version of me.

A peely-wally wee Scottish Lassie. Her sparkling big eyes who change colours almost everyday. Some day they are grayish blue , sometimes seems like hazel colour. Confusing on what would be the final colour but still lovely as she is.

 We might both love cameras but she love mostly to be in the videos. She enjoys watching herself. She laughs and giggle a lot. She plays on her own sometimes but she loves attention without measure.

 A charming wee lassie , a bonnie lassie as her Scottish Grandfather always tell her.

 She is our Caitie, our wee cutie !

Caitie's First Beach Experience

Thursday, June 25, 2020 16
Caitie and John Mills


https://www.annefinity.co.uk/One fine afternoon; sunny and warm , we drove down to North Berwick, a seaside town in East Lothian, Scotland. We've been there many times before we had Caitie. My sister-in-law's family, owns a holiday home there that makes us easy to stay for a night or so whenever possible. What makes this more meaningful is, this is our wee ones first beach experience.
We left Edinburgh before lunch. Nearly an hour going and another an hour going back to Edinburgh City Centre depends on what route you take. Caitie was sleeping all way long. She loves travelling I can tell, she always looks curious whenever she is in the car and awake, she loves looking around. Just like her daddy says, that she is so inquisitive (not nosy).

 When we arrived North Berwick, it was so sunny and warm, lovely to stay by the beach. This is the first summer that we were there, our previous trip was Spring and it was so cold and windy eventhough its sunny. The weather may change but the beauty of the town is still the same. 

 John MillsWe had a wee blether with Susan, my sister-in-law, whilst we are all sitting down on the warm sand. Caitie, as usual, showed off her charming side, laughing and giggling with her Scottish auntie, she was in a good mood as she had a good sleep and just had her milk when Susan joined us. I was speechless and just stared watching Caitie laughing with Susan. Her daddy was holding her whilst she kept jumping off the sand. Too bad, I forgot to take her a video as I just enjoyed watching her.

 Although, it was so warm and sunny, the sea was cold. We let Caitie feel the water for few seconds where she looks as if wondering what is that whilst following the small waves.

Bathroom Decor


My blogsite is still undergoing redesigning and updating and so is the house . Managed to decorate a wee part of the bathroom whilst the wee one is amazed, watching me move from one side to another. Glad to see the improvement one corner at a time. Though still loads to do and don't want to think about it. Taking photos and seeing the acceptable outcome of what I've finished inspires me to keep going.
Our wee plant been transferred from the big vase to this one that a friend gave me, where I see it perfectly suitable than the big one that John bought in the local shop after the old vase was broken into pieces during the move.

 Love the personalised bottles that I've got from eBay. The seller also offers personalised pump bottles but I've got mine from other shop.
