I spent a lot of time reading blogs today. Loads of them contain topics about autumn and Halloween. That gave me an idea… I am going to do a pumpkin carve contest. If enough people are interested I will release more details about it so please keep commenting.
It’s October and we are close to the October Bank Holiday Weekend. Have you made any plans with your little ones where to spend these extra long days? Let me give you a suggestion… We started going on family trips only recently as I got a new family car back in May. This makes traveling so much easier and there…
Thursday I had a visitor coming over from Germany. My one and only bestie Karo. We decided to have a ladies day on Friday. Just pure pampering. My lovely fiance bought us a voucher back in May to go to a seaweed bath in Strandhill. So we took this opportunity and made an appointment for that morning. It’s something different…
So how was everyone’s weekend? Ours was amazing! Last minute we decided to book a night away in Galway for a family trip. It’s only 2 hours away from Sligo after all. It’s nice to get away sometimes. Parents with their own children probably can’t agree more. It was the perfect weekend to go somewhere. The weather was fantastic. So…
I haven’t shared a recipe with you in ages. So here it goes. This is my all time favourite one! I could have this every week! Stuffed Pepper (best served with rice) Ingredients: Mince (800g) Peppers x5 2 Eggs Salt, Pepper Ketchup, Tomato puree – Scoop out the peppers – Season the mince and mix it with 2 Eggs –…
Middle of September but I’d like to talk about Christmas already. I’ve been completely organised this year. Last year all we did was go to the local shopping centre in town to see Santa. But that’s mainly because Matthew was only 1 year old and was kind of freaked out by the man with the long beard. I mean who…
Lately I have noticed that a lot of people are reading so many books. Must be a trend going. I have to admit that I haven’t touched a book in over 2 years. I know I know, terrible! This got me thinking I need to start getting into reading books again. The last book I’ve touched was “Fifty Shades of…
At the age of 2 Matthew has a lot of toys already and it brought me back to my days as a child when I was playing with toys of my own. That gave me the idea to write a post about it on how different or not different the toys are these days compared to 20-30 years ago. By…

What ingredients you will need: – Puff pastry roll – Sausages – Tomato ketchup – 1 Egg How to prepare: 1. Slice the sausages lengthwise and once in…
Today I would like to tell you about this app I got a few weeks ago. It’s a game in fact. Normally I wouldn’t be in to any specific smartphone games for this long but this is so addictive! There was a version 1 out one or two years ago which was only half as good. This one has improved…
The day has finally arrived where Matthew turned 2. This means I can not call him baby anymore. It’s mad how fast the time went. He really enjoyed his little party and presents. The Birthday Cake (he loves lights so I put extra candles on it) Little man had a very busy day and was tired very early. We are…
All mums of small kids are dreading the evening before their kids go to bed. Some are struggling, some have their routine, others could have a habit of putting them to sleep that is not the best (me!!!) but it works great for them. Now that my boy has turned 2 I need some good tips and tricks off you…
So here it is… My boy is turning 2 this week. How fast did that go? Our kids are just growing up too fast. It’s madness. This weekend he even got a hair cut so he looks all smart and cute for his birthday party on Saturday. Didn’t go to plan that well but we got it cut…
So on Thursday I finally went on my holidays to Germany. Couldn’t wait in fact but as much as I was looking forward to it, it passed by too quickly. Thursday morning was an early start. It started off with getting up at 4.30am. That is one of the reasons why I didn’t sleep too well. I keep thinking about…

It’s Sunday again already. Where has the weekend gone? Only kind of good thing about it is that I’m only working 3 days and then its off to Germany to visit my friend Karo. I actually can’t wait. Our weekend was pretty quiet. My poor little man seems to be teething a lot lately. He didn’t even wanna eat his…
And there it is again. The day we all have been waiting for. Friday!! This will probably be one of the first quiet weekends in a long time. No plans whatsoever. Chilling out going, going for walks, maybe bringing Matthew for a treat. Not long before I am heading over to Germany for a few days. Counting down the…
Today I’m giving you a review on the new smartphone I have bought recently. HTC One M8 Up until 1 or 2 months ago I had the HTC one S. It had been going for 2 years which is quite long. I could only put up with it so much longer. Battery didn’t last long, memory issues, slow etc. You…
Let’s talk fashion today and make my blog a bit more interesting excluding the daily life routine… 1. My favourite clothes at the moment has to be leggings. So comfy and able to wear to anything. Goes well with long tops. Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to find a lot online. Any online shop suggestions? 2. Shoes… Has to be…

Let me know what you think and what I could improve as a newbie blogger. The header is still missing though. This weekend we went down to Dublin. The south actually.…
