Social media is a good way for bloggers to gain readers and followers. Sometimes it can be hard though and you have to put a serious effort into hour blog. I have been blogging over three years now and I’m slowly getting there.
As a child I loved going to the zoo. My mum and me took a trip on the train for about an hour and a half to the next city to go to a big zoo. Berlin Zoo has to be my favourite one though. I think we went to the zoo at least once a year. Both my kids…
Well can you believe it… we are at the end of October and 2017 is slowly coming to an end. I can’t actually believe how fast the year has gone. It’s been a year already since we moved into our new house this month.
Over the last few months Chloe has taken a liking to Peppa the pig. She was never into watching TV until she turned two which is a good thing too. As she becomes more aware of her surroundings now and knows what’s going on, she demands Peppa Pig on the TV every day. Her big brother doesn’t mind too much…
The weather has definitely taken a turn. After an ex hurrucane and another storm afterwards sitting two weeks, you can definitely say it’s autumn. Temperatures are going up and down like a yo yo. Plans have to be made for indoor fun.
It has been a while since I had a candidate for my blog series “A day in a parenting blogger’s life”. I love reading other mums/dad’s routines and was delighted to receive another entry recently. If you haven’t taken part in my series already, then don’t be shy and drop me a quick email and I will send you some…
As part of the Play Patrol team, I am occasionally reviewing selective toys from the BigJigs Toys website. Toys that my own kids will love. These might even give you an idea for Christmas. It’s to help people like you to get the feel for the actual toy. A review with a few random words and five stars on the…
Relaxation can be a lot harder once there are kids in this world to look after. Though it is important to get some me time. Working as a full-time mum and providing the kids with 100% energy, and sometimes more, can be tiring. This is why I consider the evenings the times I relax, or try to anyway.
Have you made any plans for the next bank holiday weekend yet? If not, then you might like one of the events I am sharing with you in this post. Halloween falls onto a Tuesday this year. I have been thinking of taking it off but then thought, not much point as we can celebrate it at the weekend. It’s…
This weekend we decided to start on the decoration for Halloween. This means we get to see it longer. The kids were particularly happy about that. Matthew has asked me to start on it since last weekend. It does make the house look so much cosier
Last week was the end of an era in our house. After putting the cot bed on many different buy and sell groups online, it finally sold at the end of the week and it went to a better home. The cot bed days are gone. We got nearly a good five years out of it. It was such a…
I can’t believe I have actually made it half way through the Blogtober challenge. Sometimes I have been struggling but then last minute I was able to come up with something. Today is one of those days again. I don’t have a phobia as such. I am afraid of certain things but I wouldn’t call it phobia.
Prompt fifteen for Blogtober is “Old Photos”. The first thing coming to my mind is my own childhood. I was fortunate enough that my mum has documented my childhood very well. I have so many photos from me growing up which is such a nice memory to have. I am sharing a few with you this evening.
I can’t believe that I am writing an update on brother and sister again. I am probably saying it in every post now at this stage BUT the last month has been flying. It could well because the days are getting shorter and the evenings are getting darker. Here’s hoping the time change in two weekends won’t affect the two…
There are just eighteen days in the calendar until it’s Halloween. At this stage shops have stocked up all their decorations, costumes, scary ghosts and much more. To get into the spirit before Halloween night, we like watching Halloween themed movies all of October. The last two weekends have been a bit manic. As we are “promised” a hurricane this…
Even though the weather is playing up at the moment, we are definitely in autumn. It’s a lot wetter outside. The days are getting shorter and it’s still dark in the morning when we wake up to get ready for work/school/creche.
In a few days time it will be exactly a year since we moved from the West of Ireland to the East. The kids adjusted so well and we don’t regret it one bit. There are so much more opportunities here and way more things to do for the kids which was important for us. Can you believe it, it…
It has to be said again but Halloween is probably one of my favourite things I am looking forward to during the whole year. After Christmas of course. For day ten which the prompt is “jokes”, the only thing I could think of is Halloween jokes. If you are into these kind of jokes and want a laugh on a…
This October I am taking part in the Blogtober challenge. I am so proud of myself that I have made it to day nine so far. Must be a record in my blogging career. I have thought about today’s prompt in many different ways, but as I want my readers to engage with the blog, the best I could think…
At the very beginning of the year I decided to compile a list of things we could do as a family over the course of the whole year. It is just so much easier to have everything written down. It has been almost a year since we moved house. I mentioned before how much easier it is for us to…
