Another month has gone past in a flash. August was a very special month. It was Matthew’s fifth birthday and also his first day at school today. I can’t believe we are at that stage already.
The hamsters are on the lose in our house the last week. Spinmaster kindly sent us a Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster House Playset for the kids to test out. As well as that we also received an additional hamster and an adventure ball they can run a round in.
The holiday season is coming to an end and some children are already back to school. You may have gone on a a mini break away or the big two week summer holiday abroad. Wherever it has taken you this year, I guarantee you, you have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos. But what do you do with them?
Dear Matthew, Today we celebrated a special day… your birthday. I can’t believe you turned five years old already. You were definitely spoilt all weekend and you deserve it of course.
Over the last few days I have done a bit of a clean up on my Instagram account. I followed nearly 1k. It’s the usual you would do. When someone follows you, you automatically follow them back. They would expect you to. But it shouldn’t be that way at all. I should only follow accounts I am interested in and…
I feel like this little project of mine has been dragging on for such a long time. It all started off at the beginning of the year, when I shared my wish list of decor with you. Decorating each room in the house can take such a long time. Particularly when I want it to be 110% and not just…
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” Another relatively quiet weekend behind us. Hubby was away at a family wedding for a few days so the kids and I didn’t go too mad doing stuff together. Plus the weather wasn’t too good.
Recently we took a trip down to County Wexford. We were staying in a hotel in Wexford for one night and then decided to travel up to a farm called Kia Ora Mini Farm. There are so many farms in Ireland and we have been to quite a few. This one got great reviews so we thought we are going…
We are half way through August already and to date it’s just 16 days until my eldest is starting big school. It sounds just way too soon. Before we reached that milestone, we have another one to conquer which is his fifth birthday, three days before he is going to school. I also took a day off on his actual…
As part of being a reviewer for the BigJig’s Toys Play Patrol, I am bringing you the latest toys from the Green Toys range. I haven’t actually reviewed one in quite some time. Life is catching up and I have been super busy on the blog as well. A few weeks ago another exciting toy arrived in the post for…
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” We might have had a relaxing weekend with no day out but I feel like I have been to the gym every single day. Sore legs, sore arms, sore back, simply because I started working on the garden to create a flower bed with…
Over 3.2 billion people use the internet every single day. That is nearly half of the population of the whole world. It’s amazing how technology has moved on in the last twenty years. From the time we had to turn the modem on and no one was able to make phone calls or no one was able to call you,…
Where has the summer gone? For everyone on the summer holiday it must be frustrating looking out the window and see either dark clouds or rain. This morning it is no difference here. I wonder if this is the end of the summer. My blog series continues with Emma from Wanderlust and Wet Wipes who is going to tell us…
Last weekend we continued our Irish adventures and drove down to County Wexford. For us this county is very handy to visit as it’s not even two hours away from home. With two kids you can make this in one stretch no problem.
I can’t believe I am actually writing this. My little baby boy is going to turn five at the end of this month. It is kind of a big deal. It means he is going to start big school just days after his birthday. Not sure if he is ready, or if it just me that is not ready to…
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” I never even realised I was a day late with my Living Arrows post again. I blame the Bank Holiday weekend. We had another day as a family yesterday and of course I didn’t want to spend that on blogging. Instead we made some…
If you are like me, you are probably in the middle of organising your kids school stuff right now. My eldest will be starting school in September for the very first time. Well, it’s the 31st August. When it comes to this kind of stuck I like to be on top of everything and ready to go.
Who else is looking forward to the weekend as much as me? It is actually a bank holiday in Ireland which means we are getting an extra day off. I didn’t want to spend that time in Naas so we booked a night away in Wexford and have planned a few sights to see.
I haven’t shared an update on Chloe since she turned two in February. Now that it is the beginning of August, I thought it would be nice to see how she has developed six months on. I can tell you she is definitely a little character. This is her 2 1/2 years update.
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” The weekend is just whizzing away on us. It’s already Tuesday which means I am a day late with my Living Arrows post. We had a chilled out as well as busy weekend once again.
