I’ve done some online shopping (I know, you are probably not surprised) for Matthew last week. Today the package came. 5 New books! Perfect timing because my little man is sick at the moment. Plenty of reading material before bed time. Tabby McTat, Stickman and the Gruffalo are all from Julia Donaldson. I am looking forward to start reading these…
You wouldn’t believe it but today I have actually officially started my Christmas Shopping. Last night hubby and me sat down to work out the list of things to get for Matthew and what we want for ourselves. So I spent the evening in town picking up most presents for hubby in one go. Good thing about buying the presents…
The lovely Nuffnang UK gave me the opportunity to be one of the 20 lucky bloggers to review 1Wall’s Wall Murals. I was delighted about this because this is my first product review opportunity referred by a different company. There was so many different designs to choose from on the website but I decided to go for the Minnie Mouse one.…
Today I am sharing a recipe from my childhood. I used to love this cake and again it’s so easy to make. In Ireland/UK it probably would be known as chocolate biscuit cake. This one is made a bit different though. Ingredients: 300g coconut fat 125 icing sugar 50g cocoa powder 3 eggs 2 packs of morning biscuits (butter biscuits)…
Following on from celebrating my 100th blog post 2 weeks ago, today is finally the day I am putting up my first giveaway on my blog. As I am sharing quite a few recipes every now and then with you guys, I thought this might be a good idea to giveaway a cookbook. And who else would you choose but the…
Today I thought I am going to share a more fun post to get my blog readers involved as well. I was always wondering if there is much resemblance in me and Matthew when I was his age or does his looks all come from his daddy? For that I have put together a photograph of me at the age…
Now that my blog is finally going into one direction and I haven’t reviewed a product in ages I’m going to review a kids ride-on for you today. This might be an opportunity, to tick off that one Christmas present of the Santa list maybe. This is Little Tike’s Mini Cycle Ride on. This Ride on is suitable from the…
How did your Halloween go? That’s it over for another year. Did your kids enjoy trick or treat? We decided not to go trick or treating this year as first of Matthew didn’t have a costume and second we still had so many sweets left because we didn’t have that many kids calling. Like every year I did put up…
Yes, I know, it’s only the end of October. But now that the clocks have changed, it’s getting dark at 5pm and the weather becomes horrible I think it is ok to talk about Christmas clothes. As you know we spent our long weekend in Cork and because the shopping is really not great in Sligo I couldn’t resist but…
A few weeks ago I blogged about some recommendation for a family getaway. We had ours this weekend. We went away to Cork mainly to go to Fota Wildlife Park. Its a bit of a journey from Sligo so we decided to stay 2 nights because it was a bank holiday weekend anyways. It’s 4 hours 30 mins in fact.…
I’m really getting into this blogging business lately. I joined a few more groups and websites regarding blogging. One Facebook group I started following is “Irish bloggers“. I am looking for more parenting blogs to get more inspired. There’s one I found a couple of weeks and I have been following her since everyday. Let me introduce you to Dolly…
Halloween is only 11 days away. Are you prepared yet? Have you bought all decorations? Have you stocked up on those “trick or treat” sweets? Have you found THE costume for your kids yet? You haven’t? Don’t worry, on today’s post I am sharing a few links with you to get all this. First of, the most important thing. What…
I haven’t shared a recipe in so long that it’s time again for one. As you probably all know by now I like my easy peasy recipes that don’t require much of an effort but yet are still delicious. I have one of those for you again today. This was one is brought to you by my lovely friend Karoline…
While I was looking up tags etc for my friends 30th birthday this weekend, happening at the weekend I stumbled across these cute printables: http://www.iheartnaptime.net/free-printable-halloween-boxes/ http://www.iheartnaptime.net/halloween-trick-or-treat-free-printable/ Credits to go to I Heart Naptime. Perfect for Trick or Treating and also perfect when kids are calling over and you want to give them something special other than just grabbing sweets from…
Completely forgot to mention what came in the post yesterday. I ordered these cute little trapper hats for Matthew in Next. He is not that kind of boy who likes to wear hats (Must have got that off mammy) but these he can’t get off his hat so easily. We tried them on yesterday and he loved it. Probably also…
I’m sorry but I am so excited over this the whole day since I received that one email with the jpeg attachment of my new blog header from Lisa Warren @Blossom and Bright. It’s finally here and it’s more beautiful than I ever thought it was gonna be. So a big shout out and thanks to Lisa. You should do…
Hubby went into town today after work and got us all some treats from the local bakery “O’Hehirs”. I cannot recommend them enough. They do lovely buns, cookies, cupcakes etc. They even can make up your own customised birthday cake. They do lovely breakfast as well. Before motherhood I used to go there for a mini breakfast in the morning…
Today I’m telling you about about my other hobby that probably takes up a bit more time than blogging…Writing letters also known as Snail Mail. I think it’s nice to receive a letter in the post other than junk mail, utility bills or similiar. Every time I receive a letter in the post box it’s like Christmas. Seriously, I am…
I have been looking for conkers all over town the last week but I just couldn’t find any chestnut trees. By chance on a walk with a friend we found one only down the road. So we collected some as you can do great crafting with kids. All you need is: Conkers Matches A grown up to help you make…
