I am really taking advantage of this new H&M Online shop in Ireland. This week I placed my third order. First one was for the hubby, second one for the kids and now it was mummy’s turn to spoil herself. Now I have to admit one or two things sneaked in again for the kids. But it’s all stuff they…
I think it’s confirmed. My previously obsessed Paw Patrol boy has found his new favourite show. It’s been going on for quite some time now. Paw patrol has been everyone’s parents nightmare. Pups who rescue the world, a chicken who lives in a handbag, cats who are dressed up as the Paw patrol pups, a boy who’s driving a motorbike……
At the moment I am really struggling with Chloe. I have to admit she’s not an easy child and that’s ok. All children are different but she’s taking it to another level. Matthew was so chilled out and relaxed at her age. He would independently play for hours if he had to. At the age of nearly 15 months Chloe…
When Matthew was born I received a keepsake box as a gift from one my work colleagues. Up to that point I wasn’t aware that you can get these kind of things and keep the babies bits and pieces in it as a memory. I liked the keepsake box idea so much that I went ahead and bought one for…
Here we are… the dreadful bit of parenting has arrived… POTTY TRAINING! Argh, help us all! Now that Matthew is nearly 3 years and 8 months I think it was time to introduce the potty to him. Long time ago, which feels like a century, I wrote a post how we prepare for potty training. That was actually the time…
A few weeks ago we had an exciting announcement in the news in Ireland. We finally got an online store for H&M. Up until this point you had to drive to tell nearest store to get your bits and for me unfortunately the nearest shop is nearly 1 1/2 hours away. Not worth it most of the time unless you…
Another month, another series of photos of my two. We’re already half way through April again. One thing I did notice is the weather has been terrible this year. Every year we have the heating off from March until September because it’s so warm in the house. Mid April and the heating is still going which also means we haven’t…
A while ago I was asked to review Cognikids newly developed baby bottle gripper called GRIP. Cognikids is a reestablished company, previously known as Creepy Crawlers. As well as the gripper you can also get your hands on a sensory teething bib or a grip crawl suit. You can visit their website if you would like to find out more.…
A routine is the key in my opinion to get the kids down to bed safe and sound. Matthew has had a routine since a very young age. He was a very relaxed baby and had no trouble going to sleep in his own room at the age of 4 months. He generally falls asleep with no issues but wakes…
Welcome back to the last instalment of my Trabolgan Holiday Village experience from last week.I hope you will enjoy this one as much as you did the last two and hopefully it will give you an idea of the place whether it’s for you or not.
Welcome back to my second instalment of Trabolgan Holiday Village. This one is all about the food you can get in the centre as well as a place we found only 10 mins drive from Trabolgan.
Last year we booked a family holiday away to the South part of Ireland, Cork that is. It was a holiday away for 4 nights in Trabolgan’s holiday village. I’ve heard so much about it that I thought we might give it a go and book, it’s still easier than traveling with 2 kids abroad. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it…
Chloe’s first year has passed already and I can see such a difference in how Matthew’s behaviour was at that age and how Chloe is compared to him now. They say don’t compare your kids because each child is different anyway but when it was kind of interesting to see how different siblings can be. 1. Bottle intake First child: Matthew…
It has been quiet on the Parragon Book Buddy front. But I am back now with a cute little book ideal for Spring. Parragon has released some new exciting products for you and your family so make sure you stay tuned every month. I will bring you a book review for your little one from now on again. Easter is…
It’s the end of the month again and also we are a quarter through the year already. Last month I didn’t get a chance to take a family photo because sickness hit so many times that it was not worth it. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any sickness in March but it’s a bit easier going than February. March…
Easter Sunday my bestie and I ventured off to the North, County Donegal to be exact. Whenever she comes up we like to explore around Sligo a bit for a few hours. This time it was Donegal town and surrounding areas. We had a stroll on the beach first because the weather, for a change, was decent enough. The sun…
I have another exciting giveaway for your today as part of my 2nd blogiversay this month. This time it’s from WOW toys. I have been working closely together with WOW toys over the Christmas period last year, too and I was honoured to present you with another review and giveaway at the same time of their new toy range. This…
Girls are great for leggings. Over the last 6 months I have developed a slight obsession for them. Chloe has more leggings than tops or socks. Her press is full in fact. I have been trialing a few different companies like Mothercare, H&M, Primark and Next, I now frequently buy her leggings in H&M and Next. They might be a…
We are getting closer and closer to Easter now. It’s only 3 days until Good Friday now. Unfortunately I have to work that day but Easter Sunday is the day really we do the Easter Egg Hunt in our house. I thought it would be fun to share a list of events all over Ireland with you which do Easter Egg…
I am really getting to love this project. It is so interesting to read back on every month and see how Chloe and Matthew interact together. Reading back on the February one, I can definitely say their bond has grown even more over the last month. It is so cute to watch them play together now. Chloe now sitting in…
