Lately we had a lot of melt downs, tantrums or whatever you want to call them. I thought we got over the terrible 2’s but there must be terrible 3’s too or Matthew missed the terrible 2’s. Either way his behaviour has become very bad and I have now introduced a proper time out. Prior to that it used to…
Chloe is dribbling a lot since she turned 3 months. She is now 8 1/2 months and it’s still happening. She is just like her brother. She doesn’t have any teeth yet. Ever since she started teething/dribbling I have been using dribble bibs. But that doesn’t do it on its own. She is trying to get her hands on everything…
It is the second week of my Halloween link up. If you have missed out on it last week, don’t worry, there will be another 2 weeks of this linky leading up to Halloween. Last week I shared my top 5 pumpkin carving templates with you. I also had Stephanie from Bay Bee on my linky. She shared some great food,…
We all talk about Halloween lately. We decorate, we bake Halloween themed cupcakes, we design our costumes or sort out costumes for the kids online or go in the shop to buy them… But what does Halloween actually mean, what does it stand for and why do we celebrate it? I found this well explained info-graphic online while browsing for…
I found out about this signing by pure chance. I am getting my average amount of emails every day.One of the emails sometimes contains Westlife related stuff. Usually I just delete but the last one I got was just 3/4 days ago and it said that Markus Feehily is doing signings in the UK and Ireland. I thought I might…
I am linking up with Lucy from Dear Beautiful for the first time this month for the linky “Siblings”. You are probably wondering why I am only starting to do this now as Chloe was born in February so I could have started then. Well, Matthew only started interacting with her now. Prior to that he wasn’t a fan of her…
Everyone loves a bit of a bargain. Especially when it comes to organizing a birthday party, for example, for our little ones. You want to make it as cost efficient as you can and not spend too much on the supplies but still make it look nice. Matthew had a Thomas the Tank Engine themed birthday party. I was lucky…
Do you like watching Horror Movies? If you do, continue to read. As a round up for Halloween I thought it would be fun to give you a selection of my favorite Horror movies to watch. I wonder why I am watching them because it scares the hell out of me sometimes depending on the movie. When I watch these…
With just 18 days left to Halloween you need to plan on what to carve into your pumpkins yourself or with the kids soon. Not just carving is an option, you can also simply paint your pumpkin which saves you a lot of time not to scrape it all out. This is something I did 2 Halloweens ago. At the…
Recently I was contacted by the lovely people at Frog Bikes to review some of their bike accessories. This came in very handy because Matthew took the liking of sitting on his Spiderman bike and getting pushed around. He doesn’t get the idea of being able to pedal yet but I don’t think it will be long which means he can…
A while ago I was tagged by the lovely Nicola from LadyNicci to present my 8 photos of happiness. The idea originally came from Aby from YouBabyMeMummy and she thought it would be nice to spread this lovely tag in Ireland, too. So here it goes. First Night Out This was back in the day when hubby and I first…
As a new member of the Parragon Book Buddy Club I was delighted to receive our first book in September suitable for Matthew’s age group. He is now 3 years of age and it makes it so enjoyable reading to him even more as he sits quietly beside me listens and points at the pages. As we are slowly approaching…
Anyone that has been reading my blog for over a year now knows that I am a big Halloween fan. It comes very close to Christmas. I just love all the little crafts and decorations you can put up. Every year I am adding more and more decorations to my collection even though we clearly have enough (that’s what…
Look at this, who is this? Yes, it is my once newborn! Can you believe it, she turned 8 months old today. I don’t remember Matthew turning 8 months that quick, it’s unreal. If I blink one more time, she will be off walking soon. I want her to be my small little girl but unfortunately that’s not possible. So…
It’s the end of September, which means there are just 3 months left until the year 2015 comes to an end. It might be September but I noticed that it has been the loveliest month so far. It was so sunny and warm for this time of the year which is brilliant because we didn’t really have a summer this…
My best pal came over for a spontaneous visit last week for a few days. It was nice to see her again before the new year as I don’t think I will manage to fly over one more time before Christmas, especially with 2 kids, unless I am taking Matthew or Chloe but I didn’t plan to go anyway.
Matthew is at the age now where he understands family/board/educational games. It’s great that he can now interact with us, tell us what’s wrong and explain what he sees. The learning stage between the age of 3 and 4 is starting and I love the fact that I can now play these games with him. When Orchard Toys got in…
I don’t think I ever made it official on my blog, but hubby (I call him that anyway because fiance sounds weird) and I are getting married next July. I’m super excited. We have been engaged since October 2011. Simple reason why we didn’t get married yet is the usual thing… money issues. We are in a fortunate position now…
I am blogging well over a year now and have been taking it more serious since I moved to self hosted WordPress. I am so glad I did because this gave me way more opportunity, for example my amazing theme that I still love a year later. There are many many plugins I am using now which I couldn’t have…
Recently Matthew developed a passion for the new TV programme “Paw Patrol” which is broadcast on Nick Junior. This series about pups who rescue the day. whether it is a dolphin stuck in the shore or the cat stuck up a tree. It is a quite catchy programme and if I am honest I like watching it myself. Matthew is…
