We are at the end of the year, which means this is the last time of 2015 I am linking up with Lucy from Dear Beautiful to her linky Siblings. I have only recently started linking up to this because Matthew only started interacting with Chloe since the Summer. Which is fair enough because she was only a baby and…
The most stressful time of the year is ahead of us… Christmas. I don’t mean that in a bad way. The reason why I find it so stressful is because all grocery shops are mad busy and it is so overwhelming to go out and do the shopping for over a week because of bank holidays the shops are closed.…
It is now over 3 years since I last upgraded Matthew’s bedroom. The time I decorated and painted his room I was 20 weeks pregnant with him. That is quite some time ago. He is nearly 3 1/2 years old now and I think he deserves a more boyish room other Winnie Pooh all over the place in his room.…
While they are little we want to capture their firsts with lots of photos. They are only small for such a short amount of time. I am snapping away at everything, daily, hourly. Everyone following me on Instagram must be sick of me posting photos sometimes minutes apart. This Christmas will be Chloe’s first ever Christmas. I know, she will…
Rather than publishing a lot of blog posts this week, I was busy reading few a new blogs I discovered. I stumbled across a blog called Mama Mummy Mum written by the lovely Chantelle. Make sure you have a read. I found some interesting stuff on it. Anyway, the first of December she started a Christmas related linky which will…
Since having kids I have become quite obsessed with Next. I even buy clothes for myself a lot now. It makes it even more appealing considering they have next day delivery if you order by 10pm. At the moment I am trying to get more into their Home section. There are some lovely things out there. Matthew’s room hasn’t been…
I love a good game we can play together as a family. When Orchard Toys got in touch to review their “Christmas surprises” game we were more than delighted to do so. It’s great to have a season themed game in the house in the run up to Christmas. Christmas Surprises is a 2 in 1 game. What I mean…
Here we go. Only 2 months, yes 2 months until this little lady is turning 1!! Fastest year ever, right? She has had a quite busy month. Continue reading what she has been up to and how she is doing. Height/Weight: She is definitely my little chubby girl and she loves her food. Recently she had an appointment and she was…
We are only approximately 3 weeks away from Christmas. The vast majority is out and about now trying to find a Christmas present for their loved ones. Be it the kids, the hubby or their own mum and dad. Personalised gifts are the the most thoughtful ones in my opinion. When Snapfish got in touch to try out their web…

Since the time has changed in October, Matthew is more of a person who gets up anytime between 6.30am and 7am. Prior to that he used to sleep in until 8.30am, so that goes to show that the time change did effect him after all. Her sister is more of a laid back baby and likes to sleep as long…
Wow, I haven’t posted a recipe in ages. But that shows how busy life can be with two little ones. Anyway, today once again I am sharing an easy enough recipe with you and very healthy too. I would love to know in the comments below what you thought of it when you got a chance to cook it.
When I was pregnant with Matthew (my first baby) it took me quite some time to decide whether I want to go public or private. The costs of going private is not cheap in Ireland and I am sure it is the same in every other country. In saying that Ireland’s health system is a bit of a disaster compared…
Welcome to another week of my series “Christmas Gift Guide Linky”. Guess what, it is just a month until Christmas now. Today is the 24th November. How exciting. For some reason I am super organised this year. I have all the presents bought for the kids and the hubby. At the weekend I was busy in the evening time wrapping…
December is only 9 days away now which means the festive season is coming closer and closer. Would you believe it actually snowed in Ireland yesterday and there is snow on the highest mountains. I have a feeling that we might actually get a proper Christmas this year with snow and a proper cold winter. As I don’t remember the…
Welcome back to my Christmas Gift Guide series. Today I compiled a list for you for the other half in your life. Your hubby, fiance, boyfriend. I have selected these very carefully and some of these are even on my own hubby’s present list which he knows of course. 1. New Runners I’ve heard people saying in the past that…
Another month has passed. Day by day I see the bond between Matthew and Chloe becoming stronger. Not only in the way of them playing together and interacting with each other but also about Matthew being concerned about her. Lately Chloe is very attached. I am putting it down to her teething. She is dribbling loads and she basically can’t be…
Recently Ella’s kitchen have launched their new scrummy snack bars and healthy fruit and vegetable pouches for children 3 years and over. I was delighted to try these out as it meant my 3 year old son Matthew got to try out something from Ella’s kitchen and didn’t feel neglected when it is always Chloe that receives the good stuff.…

Don’t forget about your furry friends this festive season. I neglected mine a bit since having 2 children but I said to myself that they are allowed to come in the house again now and again because the cold weather is coming and cats do like to get cosy. After being outside for so long my cats are not even…
