Initially I wanted to have this post up and running quite some time ago but you know the way it is with the kids. This winter has been awful to us with sickness after sickness and I just simply didn’t get the time to put the finishing touches to his room, take the photos for the blog post and…
Welcome back to the last instalment of my travel journal from New York. Sunday 6th March Another day, another adventure. This day was actually a pretty quiet one. We didn’t do too much. Karo wanted to go down 23rd Street again near the Flat Iron building. She discovered some sort of Craft store online that she wanted to visit. After a…
Saturday 5th March just like every morning we went down first to have some breakfast to get us through the morning for our sightseeing. After our refreshments we walked down 5th avenue which was only the street next to our hotel. First stop was the Flat Iron. If Karo didn’t tell me about it, I would have never heard of it.…

People who have been following me on Instagram lately knew that I was heading off to New York for a few days. The time has flown so fast and I am already back in the country a few days now. It took me a while to adjust to the time difference again. Hello Jetlag! I am still tired now. Let…
This week is marking a special week for me. I have been blogging for 2 years. The 9th March 2014 is the day I started my blogging journey officially. I can’t believe I got this far and most important that I am keeping up with it and haven’t given up. Generally I am that kind of person who starts a…
Today I am sharing a refreshing cake recipe with you from Organix. I find Organix great for introducing biscuits and snacks to your little ones. Recently I bought their animal biscuits which are from 12 months +. The reason why I prefer buying them is because they don’t have any hidden junk like sugar and it’s all organic. Chloe doesn’t…
This time next week I am off to Dublin airport to get on a long flight to New York. To mention that I am overly excited is an understatement. My bestie is meeting me over there because she is flying from Germany. We decided it’s easier and cheaper that everyone makes their own way to New York first rather than…
I’ve got something really exciting to share with you on the blog today. As an Orchard Toys tester I am working really close with the company and I am testing out their new lines as much as I can every few weeks. Recently they have launched a series of new colouring books, suitable for children aged 3 years +. Take…
Have you ever wondered how much money you spend on your children over the years? To date the cost of raising a child is at £231,843 which is more than an average house. This is from the age when they were born up to the age of 21. It takes up more than a third (38%) of the average UK…
Keeping your little ones dry and comfortable is very important for them to have a good nights sleep. When The Little Green Sheep got in touch to test out one of their mattress protector I was more than happy to accept. Mattress protectors are not only important for your toddlers while you are potty training them but you would also…

The month of January and half of February has gone really quickly. We haven’t been up to much the last month at all, mainly because of weather reasons and sickness in the house. The kids seem to constantly sick. It it’s not Matthew, then it’s Chloe. They are mild colds they are getting but it is really hard on them…
This Valentine’s weekend we went on a trip to Dublin, the big city, away from our day to day life. The main reason was to visit hubby’s brother who lives in the North party of Country Dublin. We set off Saturday morning and I had my mind set on leaving at 10 am. Now, you might know with kids your…
As an admirer of Snapfish and my positive experience in the past with them when I worked on a project for Father’s Day as well as for Christmas, I was well pleased when they recently got in touch again to start on a project for Valentine’s Day. Photos are so important and why not capture them with personalised items like…
On Sunday a friend of mine and I decided to treat ourselves to some afternoon tea in the Castle Dargan Hotel in Co. Sligo. The weather is horrendous lately, so there was no better way to spend it indoors by the fire with some treats. Castle Dargan is a Golf as well as a Wellness hotel only 10 mins located…
On Saturday we celebrated Chloe’s First Birthday. She turned one last Monday but I decided not to have her party until the weekend after. It was a bit mad the weekend before her birthday anyway with Matthew getting an X-ray done for his limp which is now fine. (He only pulled a muscle, thank god) Saturday morning I started to…
Valentine’s Day is only 10 days away. Have you found the present for your loved one yet? If not, you might be interested in some of the sweets listed below. It doesn’t always have to be something expensive. Over the last few years hubby and I agreed that even a box of chocolate and flowers, something that doesn’t cost the…
4th February marks the day of World Cancer Day. Let’s raise awareness to all the people out there who tragically died from this disease including my lovely mum which is one of the main reasons why I am raising awareness. World Cancer Day unites the world’s population in the fight against cancer. It aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year…
I can’t believe I am actually writing this today. My little princess Chloe turned 1 today. It has been a whole year already that we spent together. This time last year I was in the labour ward getting induced but having the first strong contractions. At 5.20pm my little princess came into this world then. She is a really happy…
