A Scottish mum's wee guide to doing it all (ish)

About Big Plans, Wee Wild Life

Welcome to Big Plans, Wee Wild Life

Hey there! I’m Kimberley, a stay-at-home mum navigating life with my wild and wonderful 3-year-old from our cosy corner in the northeast of Scotland.

Most days you’ll find me rocking a messy bun, chasing a tiny whirlwind, dreaming up digital plans from my kitchen table (Diet Coke always in hand), and absolutely not pretending to have it all together.

Big Plans, Wee Wild Life started as a creative outlet, a colourful space where I could share the beautiful chaos of Scottish mum life, our family road trips, self-taught crafts, dopamine-bright nails, and my journey building a digital side hustle from scratch.

Here you’ll find:

  • honest reflections on motherhood and family life in Scotland,
  • planning tips and printable tools to organise the madness,
  • self-taught crafting wins (and learning curves),
  • beginner-friendly ideas for starting your own creative income stream,
  • and a whole lot of encouragement for women doing life a little differently.

If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, organisation, or just a wee reminder that you’re not alone in the mess — you’re in the right place.

Let’s make big plans, one wee step at a time.
