The weather has been just incredible the last week and a half. I couldn’t really enjoy it as much when sitting in the office all week last week but we tried to make the best out of it at lunch time and went down to the beach side for some lunch. Then at the weekend it was a bank holiday…

These days getting married abroad is a lot cheaper than in your own country. Hubby and I were supposed to get married at the end of July this year. Only 1 1/2 months away. Unfortunately our venue we booked it in got in the way and they closed it down at the beginning of March which left us with no…
Trying to find a babysitter can be daunting for new parents. Generally it’s either a close friend or your parents or the partners parents who offer to mind the kids for the evening while you and your partner are off for a dinner or a few drinks in the local pub. When Matthew was born, hubby and I went out…
I can’t believe I have actually never shared this recipe with you in the last 2 years of my blogging career. It’s a pasta salad dish which has been going for years in our family. Originally I came across it at a party when I was a child, maybe 12 or 13 years of age. My friends mother made it…
I am spending a lot of time in Strandhill lately. Mainly because the weather is so nice and also it’s only a 10 minute drive down the road from us. To anyone who doesn’t know Strandhill but would love to come and visit one day, or people who live nearby and want to go on a road trip and have…
Oh how I have missed a good tag. I haven’t had one in such a long time. It was about time I found this one a few days ago. It’s called the Mummy Tag. 1. Are you a Stay at Home Mum or a Working Mum? I am a working mum. I am working full-time 5 days a week 9-5.…
I have been thinking about the area/place I blog in for quite some time now. Before Christmas 2014 I used to blog on my phone. To some that might sound odd but up until that point I didn’t take blogging that serious. Christmas 2014 I was gifted with a netbook by my kind hubby. This took blogging to another level…
Although a fitness tracker is not the most mind blowing device nor the sleekest looking one, strapping on a fitness tracker can be oddly motivating. It does the simple things of ‘keeping tabs of you’ quite well and best of all you have every bit of data in real time from: steps walked, duration of the activity, distance covered, heart…
Heute dachte ich, dass ich mal was ganz außergewöhnliches poste. Erst einmal wird dies mein erster Blogpost, den ich auf deutsch schreiben werde und zum zweiten würde es einfach keinen Sinn machen über dieses Thema in Irland/Großbritannien zu reden, da es diese Produkte leider nur eingeschränkt hier gibt. Wie der Titel schon sagt Knorr/Maggi Mama geht es selbstverständlich um die…
Life as a mother and a working woman is pretty tough, isn’t it? Truly, it gets you the jitter of nerves when you have to manage your home and workplace simultaneously. A mom’s life seems no less than a roller coaster ride as she has to carry out her roles and responsibilities well for 24/7. A family needs a woman’s…
When traveling with children, whether that’s in the car, on the airplane or on a train, entertainment is quite an important point. When Orchard Toys got in touch to review one of their new mini games which were only launched recently, I was more than happy to try them out Orchard toys have a selection of 6 new mini games…
So far we have mastered potty training really well. It’s week 5 now. I didn’t think we would be where we are now in a million years. Matthew has adapted really well and I am so proud of him. From weeing in his trousers the first week, to be able to tell us when he needs to go, hold and make…
As promised I wanted to update you on our current potty training situation. We are now entering week 5 of potty training and honestly, I wouldn’t have thought in my dreams that it would go this good so quick.Now, to some of you out there it might not be a big move at all but to us this is huge…
We are back to another month of the Siblings project presented by the lovely Lucy from Dear Beautiful Boy. This month was an exciting one for us. We finally started Matthew on potty training. I know there has been talks about it on my blog for quite some time but every time I tried to attempt something else came in…
Not so long ago I have been in contact with a company called Eat Well who specialises in products for kids like lunch boxes, table trays,reward boxes and also a product called Lunch Punch. They gave me the opportunity to review it. This was just the best product I have ever received that is in use at least every weekend…
This weekend I had a busy one. I am part of a blogger network which is also present on Facebook as a group who celebrated their 2nd birthday yesterday. The network focuses mainly on bloggers from West Ireland. Sometimes it can be quite hard to attend blog events because most of them are in Cork or Dublin. I’ve no issue…
Mums with a full-time job will understand how hard it can be sometimes to find the quality time you want to spend with your children other than each weekend. When you have a 9-5 job there is not much time left in the evening time. Dinner has to be made, kids have to be bathed and get them ready for…
I am 5 days late with this month “Me and Mine” project. Purely because I was madly busy for the last 2 weeks as sickness has hit our house again. It never ends. I feel sorry for the kids at this stage. Right this minute I am still off work because Matthew cannot go to creche. He has been having temperatures…
It has been a while since I last gave you an update on Chloe’s development. Last time was when she had her first birthday. I wasn’t quite sure whether I should keep going every month until she turns two, but then I thought that might bore people. She turned 15 months 2 days ago (apologies for the delay, sickness has…
