I am a bit late with November’s family portrait and it was totally last minute taking it, too. In fact it was taken last night after hubby arrived home from work. But at least he knows his place and knows how important the Me and Mine project is. Haha November must have been the quietest month for us from the…
Happy December everyone. We have finally entered the last month of the year and not it is officially okay to talk about Christmas and listen to Christmas songs. Tomorrow the tree will go up while hubby is taking the kids to swimming. All the decorations have to come down from the attic. The fun. Featuring in my parenting blogger series…
Oh can you believe it, in just 24 days it’s Christmas Eve. Where has this year gone? I have been thinking about the Christmas food schedule already. Thankfully I am off over the Christmas period this year and not back until the new year which makes things a lot easier. I normally don’t cook every day but over the festive…
In just a matter of days it’s December, the last month of the year. What a fast year it has been. I am so glad I have the Christmas presents for the kids off the list. One less thing to worry about and I can now concentrate on the food. Every year we have a different mains for Christmas day…
Heading away this time of year has become very popular in the last few years. Even celebrating Christmas abroad seems to be the new trend. It’s not an option for us this year but I have looked into heading to Lapland for a few days next year. Let’s be honest, Ireland is never going to get a white Christmas.
Something to keep the little mind going this time. With my five year old, we are past the educational toys you’d get for toddlers such as matching shapes. It’s now all about getting him to improve his concentration. Everyone will remember the Rubik Cube from years ago. As a child I used to love playing with it, even though I…
It’s Black Friday everyone. Don’t go too mad on the online shopping. Thankfully I have everything bought for Christmas already. It means saving is going to happen in this house. If you like reading about parenting blogger’s daily life, then you will like this post. I started this series just over a year ago and still have some bloggers who…
Just over three weeks ago a work friend and me drove into the big smoke for something special. Something that might be a bit a strange to other people. People that know me, also know how much I love cats. I have had a cat in my life since I was a toddler. The last few months is actually the…
About two weeks ago I published a gift guide for boys who are five and older which included a Star Wars themed football. It’s a football that can be coloured in. Matthew loves football and he loves colouring in. So when we were sent this to review, it hit the nail on the head.
Continuing with my gift guide series, it’s now time for some ideas for us mummy’s. I actually found it very hard to pick something for myself this year. There is absolutely nothing I need. As we have moved house a year ago, the only thing I could ever need is practical stuff or home decor. I love decorating all the…
Can you believe it’s just one more month before the year 2017 comes to an end. It’s one more month until the Siblings project comes to an end and I can make a collage of every month. I find this part always so exciting because you can see how much brother and sister have developed and have changed within twelve…
At the weekend we attended a show. But not just any show, we went to Disney On Ice which took place in the Citywest Hotel all weekend. I got tickets for the Saturday morning slot. I just found it was the best time for both kids, right after breakfast. We nearly didn’t go as Matthew currently has a cold but…
If you haven’t come across my latest post already, you are now able to link up all your Christmas Gift Guide related posts to the linky me and AK setup this morning. The linky will be open until 20th December. The idea of it is to give other people ideas for their own kids and it’s so much easier to…
The festive season is upon us so AK and myself have decided to team up and bring you a Christmas Gift Guide Link Up, so you can find lots of great ideas for this years present buying tasks for your loved ones, Family and Friends!
It is that time of the year again. Everyone is currently busy running into Smyths buying what is on their kids wish list. Or if you are like me, you might be already finished. I am waiting on the main present for Chloe and then it is into wrapping it all nicely and storing it away. This year I am…
Last week Matthew was on mid term break. He has been asking me quite a few times during this time when he can go back to school. He actually loves it. We managed two months of school so far. It’s incredible how quick a five year old can learn in such a short space of time. He has learnt so…
Over the last few months Chloe has found the love for Peppa the pig. To some parents this an absolute nightmare. They can’t stand the pig and are trying to stand well off it. I don’t mind too much. Even the five year old is still interested, particularly in the iPad apps you can avail of in the app store.…
How did your Halloween go? Did the kids enjoy trick or treating on Tuesday evening? In Ireland we had a longer weekend as on Monday it was a bank holiday. This gave us the change to do more together as a family. The Monday we had planned to go to the Pumpkin Patch in Co. Meath.
We are into November already and have left Halloween behind us. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Or maybe you are already finished? Up until a week ago I had absolutely nothing bought. Then I had a day off last week and I bought everything. There is one more thing for Chloe and that’s it. The review you are…
Happy Halloween everyone. This means October has come to an end and it’s time to share with you what we have been up to in the month of October. Lots of fun was had during this month. I really enjoy taking part in the me and mine project. It’s something that I will be glad I have in a few…
