This wee babe has always wanted a snowy birthday. It was one day late, but we'll take it ❄️💙☃️ #weekend #snow #glasgow #myangel #birthdaywish

Genuinely canny believe my eyeballs. I have zero PR qualifications, but I wonder who the hell thinks these things are a good idea 🤦🏻‍♀️ please show all Scots and get us independence in 2024 through sheer embarrassment

DPD courier at my door, speaking under his breath like a spy: “The parcel’s in the van. It says ‘drum-kit’ on the box. I wanted to warn you and not ruin Christmas.” Then he carried it round to my garage to hide it.
Hero. HERO.

Ooooh, looky-loo 💜📚

My boy's fave TA is leaving for a new job. The boyo showed me this and that was me 😭 hit square in the feels

swap 'fire' for 'telly', and the timing is usually after an hour of debating what to put on & finally deciding. He loves it when I do that! 😂

Learning to count should never be boring! I took some photos of the Count to 100 book for you, there's a series of big books for early years, all illustrated by Sophia Touliatou & all absolutely stunning. Would you agree? #numeracy #earlyyears #usborne #htlmp #beautifulbooks

If you feel your child doesn't enjoy reading, or worry about their reading level, or would like to get them reading more, I PROMISE you that I will do everything I can to get the perfect book into their hands. I know our range inside out💖 #booklady #literacy #readtogether #books

Took pics of the new Wind-down Activities book tonight as I ran my daughter's bath. Some of you might have problems winding down, or getting your child ready for bedtime. I have a boy who insists he's never tired. I'll be trying this out on him #htlmp #readytopost #usborne #calm

You're never too old for fairytales. I still sometimes check the garden for a wee glimpse of some magic. Do you believe?
If you or your kids love a bit of sparkle, ask me about my extra sparkly sticker books. I'll have you sorted for the summer hols #booksbynicola #booklady

Calling all local folk - the roof of St. Laurence's is badly damaged, repairs will have a hefty cost. Any donation at all would make a huge difference. If you (understandably) can't afford to give, please help spread the word St Clares PS Men Matter Scotland justgiving.com/crowdfunding/r…

Have you noticed that once you get past a certain age, noone even asks you what your favourite dinosaur is anymore? How rude is that!
Here at BooksbyNicola I care about each and everyone of you. So, what's your favourite dinosaur?

How are we feeling about germs these days? I feel like we spent 2yrs talking about them non-stop, some of our wee.i.p.'s still have questions. From how they infect us to how our bodies fight them off. I can picture my 6yo asking the q's in this brand new book

When you're starting off a business it's a good idea to find your 'why'. Mine is simple. These 2 wee belters. They're my driving force, my happy place & my inspiration. (They also LOVE books so win/win). What's your reason? #booksbynicola #booklady #mummylife #family #findyourwhy

Are there any stories you just love? You've heard them a thousand times, but they make your heart happy? This is mine! 💛 This copy of Usborne's graphic novel version changed everything I thought about graphic novels, look at it! #booklady #htlmp #wizardofoz #stories #readytopost
