The hotel we were staying in on our Staycation in Kerry was so nice, I figured it deserves its own post. We have stayed in many different hotels over the years. As a family of four it is very important to us to have a room with lots of space. Though you are only there to sleep, when you have…
Dear Matthew, this evening we put you to bed as a six year old for the very first time. It has been six years already since you came into this world. We are so happy to have you. Your are a very caring child, mostly in regards to food. If mammy didn’t get to have a taste, you are willing…
This post brings us to our last day of our staycation which was almost two weeks ago. I was a bit unwell over the last few days so wasn’t able to post anything on the blog. County Kerry feels like a different country altogether. It’s so calm and quiet.
Day three of our Kerry adventure brought us to Dingle. A small port town in the South Western part of Ireland. I wanted to visit here for such a long time but the drive from Sligo, back when we still lived there, was five hours and it was just way too far. Thankfully from Tralee it’s only an hour.
For the last month it was rather difficult to find photos that show the two of them together. Only for the fact that we are back from our staycation in Kerry, I would have had only one photo to post. That clearly shows we have not been up too much at all. And that’s probably the truth.
Last week we all ventured off on our staycation in Ireland. County Kerry has been on my list for a long time, particularly Dingle. Thankfully we found a great deal on the official Ballgarry House Hotel website. We had to stay at least three nights to get 15% off of each night. We stayed four nights and so we saved…
Scooters and ride ons are a big hit in our house. It doesn’t matter how old the kids are or if they are in fact too big for it. They love cruising around in the garden or out the front near the big green. They much prefer it to walking for sure.
Oh lovely July…we are at the end of it already and today is the first day of the month in August. In the blink of an eye we have Christmas on the door step. I find once the Summer holidays are over, the year is just flying by even quicker because all the fun has come to end, people have…
I’ll be honest with you, I would be lost without my car. I am just so used to stepping into my car and driving me places, even if it’s only around the corner to the shop to get milk. Owning a car kind of makes me lazy in a way too and so I don’t walk as much.
If you’re like me, then you are probably trying to look up entertainment around the country this Summer holiday to keep the kids busy. It’s a bit more difficult for us, as right now we are still working and so we only get to do stuff as a family at weekends. However in August we are off for two weeks…
The last month has been an amazing month for us. The kids had a blast outside in the garden for the most of it. We haven’t seen rain in such a long time and you can clearly see that. Our grass is non existent, it’s pretty much brown now. We had a bit of rain in the last few days…
It has been a while on the blog hasn’t it? Apologies, this has been probably the longest break I have ever taken. I suppose you can blame the lovely weather. I am never really in the mood to sit down in the evening and right a post. However this one has been on my list for over a week now.
Traveling is one of those things that you either like or don’t like. Traveling all different countries lays within my family. My granddad traveled all over the place He has been to so many places, it’s incredible. The same thing applied to my mum. She started traveling when she was young, too. So I guess you could say I inherited…
How are you getting on with your little ones and their teeth? It’s either one way or the other isn’t it? I am lucky to have one child who has no problem brushing his teeth. He happily does it by himself but I always help him out to make sure they are brushed properly. Them we have another child in…
What smashing weather we have right now. It’s definitely not just me who has the urge to go outside and go to the beach or just be in this beautiful sunshine. Weather like this makes me just want to go and explore. There are many road trips I still want to do but haven’t got around to it yet.
If you read the news, you will know that another heat wave is on the horizon. This time it will reach up to 31 degrees in places. The Irish certainly like to talk about their weather. And somehow you just easily integrate into it. Nice weather instantly changes your mood… for me anyway.
Being a mum can be exhausting at times. You run around 24 hours pretty much to provide for your little ones. However it is also very important to take out some time away from motherhood. Between hubby and me we always divide the days in the week so one person can go off and do whatever they want. This applies…
Working full-time can be hard some days. I need a very strict routine to make sure the kids are ready in the morning for creche/school and fed before heading out the door. Once I return from work, its off to collect them and we have about two hours before it’s bedtime again. We are managing well for now anyways.
I know half the month of June is only gone but oh my what a first half we had. The weather was incredible and it felt like an actual proper Summer. It all lasted for almost a month. We are back to the wind and rain for now but it’s not too cold actually and plus it’s nice to actually…
Summer seems to be dreadful for me when it comes to blogging. I have been blogging for over four years now and the Summer is always the quietest. I supposed everyone is enjoying the outdoors, so I don’t blame them looking at a screen reading blogs.
