I have been reading about these questions on Facebook that are making their rounds. Questions you should ask your toddler. I thought I am going to mix it up a bit and put a few additional questions into it which Matthew can actually understand. I tried asking him certain questions and he didn’t seem to understand what they mean. He…
There is a lack of recipe entries on my blog this year. It is actually a busy year. But I did manage to find another one that I would like to share with you. Of course it’s based on my usual quote “Easy peasy recipe”. Since the Great British Bake Off has started again, two weeks ago we decided to…
Well, that didn’t last long. It has just been about a month since a few friends and I went for afternoon tea in a local restaurant called Eala Bhan. Straight after that, we already planned our next afternoon tea next month. We all decided on Kilronan Castle. It is only a 30 minutes drive from Sligo so not too bad.…
This day ten years ago I started an adventure. An adventure I didn’t think would end up me starting a new life in a different country ten years later. When I was only 19 years of age, I decided to leave my home country Germany behind and learn the culture of another country. This was going to be Ireland. At home…
If you follow me on my Facebook page, you probably read the exciting news. I am a finalist in the Littlewoods Ireland Blog Awards 2016. I am well chuffed. Seriously did not expect that. I mean of course I begged for the odd vote (including my lovely work colleagues) but only 20% out of that was going to towards the…
It’s the end of August and Summer is nearly over. For Ireland we actually had a pretty good summer for once. Even today it’s pretty warm. I hope it stays like that a bit longer. I don’t fancy taking out the coat or boots yet. Who else feels more comfortable in summer clothes. It should be summer all year round.…
It happened this weekend. My eldest turned FOUR.. four years of age. I can’t believe it. The shortest four years for sure. He is now entering the pre-school year and next year he is going to big school. He is so not ready. I know every parent will say that. He is still my little baby no matter what but…
Es gab schon lange keinen Award mehr bei dem ich mitgemacht habe. Doch heute Abend sollte sich das aendern. Meine liebe Freundin Sabrina von Zwergenkinderstuebchen hat mich getaggt beim Liebster Award. Ich habe denen Award schon mal bekommen vor 2 Jahren, allerdings auf Englisch, denn wie ihr ja sicher wisst, ist das Meiste an meinem Blog auf Englisch. Nichts destro…
Teaching your children another language other than the mother tongue can be beneficial to them later in life. These days English is the most spoken language in the world. In saying that there is no stopping you to teach your children a second language. I grew up in Germany which means my mother tongue is German. When you read that…
This year marks 11 years of being the owner of a driver’s license. I started doing my driving test when I was only 17 years old. I received my license in Germany which means I have a Full EU license. There are pros and cons to having a Full EU license. Over the last few years I’ve learnt when you…
About 9 years ago a friend and I traveled from Dublin to London. We stayed in a hostel for a couple of days to go to a concert and do some little sightseeing around the city. Back then I was only in Ireland a year working as an Au Pair. This meant I had little money, so it was hard to…
Following on from my post about what places I still have to visit in Ireland, I thought I’d share with you which places I want to explore around the world. It’s hard to achieve this with two small children but luckily I have a great hubby who let’s me travel abroad once a year on my own.
I know, I know… I’m about 14 days behind with this post but with all the packing and preparation for our holiday 2 weeks ago, I didn’t get a chance to write a detailed post about Chloe’s milestone age reached. My little baby girl turned 18 months of age on the first day of this month. This makes her 1…
The month of August couldn’t have started any better for us. The first day of the month we were on our way down to the airport to check into the hotel and head off to Spain the next day early morning. This was some great excitement especially for my eldest. We are only back from our well deserved holiday since…
It has been just 2 days since we got back from our 10 day trip to Spain. This was a holiday I have been looking forward to the whole year. Mainly because of the hot weather, pool time, the beach and the warm evenings walking along the beach. We booked this holiday at the very beginning of this year. Originally…
Whether you have an older phone and you want to pimp it up and give it some love or you got a new phone but you find it quite slippy in your hands. In both cases you can make this possible by creating a custom case for your phone. This is where Caseapp comes in. Caseapp is excited about making the…
Half way through the year now and time to link up to the Me and Mine project again. I am getting good at taking these family photos on time the last 2 months. July seems like it has been a quite busy month for us. We were lucky enough to get a bit of heat and sunshine again the month…
This September marks 10 years of me living in Ireland. How time flies. I can’t believe I have lived on the Emerald Island for 10 whole years. Neither have I thought that I am going to actually stay here. The plan was to spend one year in a foreign country which in my case was Ireland. I had no intention…
On Sunday, two friends and I decided to go for some afternoon tea in Eala Bhán in Sligo town beside the Garavogue River. We got into the habit now of trying out all local afternoon tea places. I booked the space ahead in case it was full. But in fact normally there is no afternoon tea on a Sunday. Thanks…
Early this year the Department of Transport has released a statement on possible new regulations for booster seats. They have yet to confirm a date when this is going to happen. There has been talks of allowing backless booster seats for children who weigh more than 22 kg and are taller than 125 cm only. Keeping our children safe while traveling…
