This weekend, Sunday in fact, is the day where us mums celebrate. Mother’s Day is only five days away. I know, I know, some of you might say “it’s all a money making game” and yes you are right. But you also have to see it another way. Us mums are “working” 24/7, providing for the family, looking after the…
It has been almost two weeks since it was hubby’s birthday. By chance we both took the day off. It wasn’t for the fact that it was his birthday. It was mainly because we had a few tasks to do that would be better to get done while the kids are in creche. That day we actually got to spend some…
What a fun filled weekend we had. On top of that we got an extra day. On Friday it was St. Patrick’s Day which is a public holiday in Ireland. We had lots of plans made. Matthew’s godfather was coming over with his son and his wife. His son is nearly fourteen years of age so Matthew had lots of…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all. It’s a public bank holiday in Ireland today which means long weekend. It’s nice to have one day less to work and one more day to spend with the kids. We are not going to the parade. I thought there was parade in Naas but there is none and I am not dragging…
Here we are, half of March has gone in a blur. It only feels like yesterday we have ticked off February. March is really flying by I have to say and we have so many fun times ahead of us. The middle of the month means it’s time for the Siblings project again. A project where I reflect on brother…
Sleep is an important fact in our house. I know it can be hard with two small children in the house. Over the years we have found our routine with them and divided up the nights between us. That way everyone gets enough sleep to function. Both of us, daddy and mummy, have full time jobs which involves sitting in…
Last weekend was all go go go. It started off with a nice breakfast with some freshly made croissants in the oven. We then planned on bringing Chloe to Kiddis Cut to get her hair tidied up a bit. That didn’t happen in the end though. Instead we all had lunch together at home, Chloe went fora nap and me…
Good morning to you all. It’s Friday. I was actually off yesterday and I am off today too. Just to get a few bits and pieces and I’m on the hunt for a new spring coat. Any shop recommendations are appreciated. Today Nyomi is joining me on the blog. She blogs at Nomipalony.
It’s almost time for Disneyland’s 25th anniversary. From the 26th March Disneyland Paris is celebrating 25 years. Right now they have a great offer on. Up to 30% off if you travel between March and the end of October. It also comes with free half board which I do like. I am not the kind of person who wants to…
This is a post with a twist. I found this on somebody else’s blog the other day but only got around to write it now. There are so many blogger tags out there but this one for a change is actually about your child.It’s called “The Little Ones Tag” which was created by “The Secret Life of the Baby”. You…
Last week was quite a busy one. On Tuesday we had Pancake Tuesday. The kids ate one pancake each in creche but I also made a batch at home. Normally they don’t have dinner when they come home from creche and just have a small snack but this was an exception. Actually Fridays they get something lately as well because…
Good morning everyone. What a busy week it was in work. I hope your week went a bit easier. We have a lovely weekend planned with the cousins. It’s nice to change the scene for the kids. Today featuring in the blog series is Lianne who blogs at Mrs Mummy Harris.
Aschermittwoch… a day you might also know as the day of giving up something for lent. When I first came to Ireland I had no idea what lent meant. It only came into a conversation when I started working in my current job almost eight years ago. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday which this year…
Matthew likes to watch the iPad. I have to admit, maybe too much sometimes. I am trying to keep it at a minimum and he knows that. During the week he is in creche all day, playing all day, learning in the morning when the pre school hours are on. As a little treat he is allowed to watch the…
And with a bang we are the end of February. It’s shorter of course but nevertheless I think it was flying. The last month we have been completely lazy. There was absolutely nothing exciting we did. I do like to talk about the weather a lot you might have noticed. Well the last month was horrible so for that reason,…
Last week was awful weather wise. There was storm Doris that threw things around the place. We don’t have much in the garden yet but the few bits we do have got blown all over the place. Then yesterday there was another storm on its way. Thankfully this morning the sun is shining. It’s just a bit chilly. Due to…
Welcome back to my blog series. I hope you all survived the storm Doris. We had a few broken down trees in the area and it was bin day yesterday which meant the estate looked like a mess. Thank god the weekend is close. Today I introduce you to Jenni who blogs at Odd Socks and Lollipops.
Last weekend my friend Sandra and I set off on another afternoon tea adventure. The last one was in September last year after all. God that feels like years ago. At the start of this year I published my afternoon tea bucket list. One of the places we wanted to go to was Killashee House Hotel. And so we did.…
A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to review a set of wall stickers. This came in so handy. I still had to decorate the playroom because since the move, we only managed to get through our list of items that needed to be fixed or bought before it was onto decorating. We finally came to the end of…
This weekend we had a lazy one. Daddy was off on a mini trip away at the weekend and had a tennis match on Sunday morning. The weather was not the best either. It was miserable. On Saturday it was constantly changing. We managed to catch a bit of sunshine and at least made it outside into the garden. The…
