About Me

Hello there,

My name is Janine. I am 37 years of age. I grew up in Germany and decided to make a big step in 2006. I started working as an Au Pair in Ireland. A complete new experience for a young girl at the age of 19. I would have never imagined that I would stay in another country. A country with a different culture and a different language.

In December 2008 I met my other half and best friend. We moved together in early 2009. He just bought a house. Our family started off small by getting a few cats over the years. We currently have two cats called Eevee and Tilly. We moved from West to East of Ireland in October 2016.

In August 2012 I became a first time mummy. Matthew was born. Shortly after in February 2015 Chloe joined who made our little family complete.

Whenever I get a minute to myself, I like to play tennis, do some online shopping (too much sometimes!) and watch the 90 days Fiance series (quite obsessed).

Originally I have started this blog in 2010 for my own personal use to record my daily life and trips away. When I had Matthew I took a break for 2 years. In March 2014 I have decided to take up blogging again and make this space my family journal. It will be lovely to look back to all the memories we have made over the years and to capture this in writing is important to me. After all we all get older and won’t remember everything.

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy reading and continue to follow my blog in the future. If you are interested in collaborating with  me, please follow the “work with me” page to see what I offer.
