Matthew can be quite awkward sometimes whenever it is bath time before he goes to bed. He’s fighting not to have a bath but once he is in, he doesn’t want to get out. To keep him entertained in the bath while I am washing him and his hair, there’s a few toys I keep in a bag, hanging on…
It’s hard to hide it in the summer when the kids are out playing and wearing shorts and t-shirts. Every label at the back of the t-shirt/top has to be cut off or it triggers his skin and becomes inflamed. When he’s sick, stressed or warm it gets worse. Certain fabrics of clothing can’t be worn or it spreads more.…
Recently I got the opportunity to test out a few baby products from Organix. If you haven’t heard of Organix before, they do delicious fruit pots, cereals, snacks and much more. Check out their website for all the different flavours and variety. Their promise is the junk challenge. They are encouraging parents to cook fresh and healthy. We were sent…
It is Sunday evening which means a new week is starting tomorrow and it will be my second week back to work. As some of you may know my maternity leave ended 1 week ago. In Ireland you only get 6 months paid leave. You can add another 16 weeks I think but this would be unpaid. With my maternity…
Last weekend my friend Karo and I were very brave and decided we are going to book 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours horse riding lessons. As we don’t plan on taking it serious and making a hobby out of it I didn’t want to just go on the lunge for 20 mins and that was it. I always dreamt…
I am a bit late with this one. But I have a good excuse as my bestie was over for a few days. Least thing I wanted is to be antisocial on the laptop when we can be out doing stuff together. The month of July went so quick again that I only managed to take a photo of…
A while ago I entered a campaign on Twitter. This involved to show your love for the minions. The campaign is called #OneInAMinion. Asda allowed me to purchase some Minion goodies off their website with a voucher of £45. I was delighted with that because we are minion mad in this house. Matthew has picked up on the Minions somehow in…
My little once you new born girl has turned 6 months old today. Can you actually believe it? Because I can’t. It has been the fastest 6 months ever. This also means I will be returning to work again. My first day back at work will be on Tuesday as Monday is a bank holiday in Ireland. Now sit back…
Is there something you really like collecting or keep buying and you always need to have more from? It could be statues, it could be pens or it could be the newest phone you need to catch up on every year. For me at the moment it is cat clothes for Chloe. When I say cat clothes I don’t mean…
On Friday we started our first trip as a four piece. On the way to Killashee House Hotel in Co. Kildare not far from Dublin in fact. The journey actually wasn’t that bad. We left at a time where the kids were already fed and were due a nap. That was 1pm. The whole drive is normally 2 hours and…
We are big fans of Peppa Pig in our house. There is no doubt. Every night before bed we are sitting down on the couch to read a Peppa Pig story. We read it so often that Matthew knows certain sentences off by heart. So how big is our Peppa Pig book collection you are wondering? Personally I like the…
As I was doing a bit of shopping yesterday I approached Dunnes Stores and its car park to get a few bits and bobs for our mini family trip away at the weekend. They have now marked about 10 spots with just “Parent & Child parking” so the parents have enough space to get the kids out safe and put…
If you follow my blog regularly you might remember that Matthew got a Trunki for Christmas last year. From then until now he used it more as a toy than a suitcase. As I was already heavily pregnant at Christmas we didn’t plan any trip away. Now that Chloe is hitting the 6 months mark in a weeks time we…
I am sure every mum out there heard of the Disney Junior Channel. The one your child is glued to every morning, once they come home from creche or school? Yes, that one. A bit of Sofia the first, Curious George, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Henry Hugglemonster, can you tell I watch too much of it? Except for all the…
I was supposed to share Chloe’s nursery with you ages ago but I never got around to it because I planned to do a video tour of the room and there was always something not finished in the room, or I was just too busy. It is still not fully finished as the TV handing in the corner will move…
It’s that time again… teething. Dribbles all over the clothes, drenched, constantly changing clothes, bibs or vests. This annoyed me just a little when Matthew was about 3 months old and started teething and with it came the dribbling. Shortly after I was introduced to bibs from a group of mums which catches the dribbles and doesn’t require constantly changing…
A few weeks, even months ago, my bestie Karo and I decided we are going to meet up for her birthday and I was to fly over for it the beginning of July. So I asked hubby nicely to see if I can book it and if he is able to handle 2 kids. This was my mini holiday away…
Now that I am officially blogging well over a year I thought it would be fun to go through that year and pick my top 7 posts I am proud of. Originally I wanted to only share 5 with you but there’s just too many that mean a lot to me so it was hard enough to narrow it down…
About a month ago I was sent a lovely box of scrumptious pouches by Ella’s kitchen from 4 months onwards. This was perfect timing to start Chloe on food as I want her to be fully weaned by the time she goes to creche/nursey in a month time. I thought I am going to start off the way I started…
3 weeks ago I was approached by Finish to try out some of their new improved dishwasher products. Of course I agreed, who doesn’t like a few cleaning products as a mum right? In our household I have been using Finish Powerball Quantum Max tablets for the past year. Before that I used cheap ones from Lidl or similiar. The…
