On Sunday, two friends and I decided to go for some afternoon tea in Eala Bhán in Sligo town beside the Garavogue River. We got into the habit now of trying out all local afternoon tea places. I booked the space ahead in case it was full. But in fact normally there is no afternoon tea on a Sunday. Thanks…
I’ve been quiet on the blogging front for the last week. The reason is I was on a mini holiday in Germany visiting my bestie in Berlin. We celebrated her 30th birthday. It’s always nice to get a mini break away particularly when it’s in my home country Germany.
When hubby originally purchased a house 7 1/2 years ago, not in his dreams he would have thought of the house to be “compatible” for his own kids. The plan originally was to buy the house and rent it out to other people. That way he would have made a good bit of money on it too because our house has…
I am spending a lot of time in Strandhill lately. Mainly because the weather is so nice and also it’s only a 10 minute drive down the road from us. To anyone who doesn’t know Strandhill but would love to come and visit one day, or people who live nearby and want to go on a road trip and have…
Welcome back to the last instalment of my Trabolgan Holiday Village experience from last week.I hope you will enjoy this one as much as you did the last two and hopefully it will give you an idea of the place whether it’s for you or not.
Welcome back to my second instalment of Trabolgan Holiday Village. This one is all about the food you can get in the centre as well as a place we found only 10 mins drive from Trabolgan.
Last year we booked a family holiday away to the South part of Ireland, Cork that is. It was a holiday away for 4 nights in Trabolgan’s holiday village. I’ve heard so much about it that I thought we might give it a go and book, it’s still easier than traveling with 2 kids abroad. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it…
Welcome back to the last instalment of my travel journal from New York. Sunday 6th March Another day, another adventure. This day was actually a pretty quiet one. We didn’t do too much. Karo wanted to go down 23rd Street again near the Flat Iron building. She discovered some sort of Craft store online that she wanted to visit. After a…
Saturday 5th March just like every morning we went down first to have some breakfast to get us through the morning for our sightseeing. After our refreshments we walked down 5th avenue which was only the street next to our hotel. First stop was the Flat Iron. If Karo didn’t tell me about it, I would have never heard of it.…
Today I give you another chance to win some educational prizes for your children as part of my second blogiversary. This time it is with Orchard Toys. Orchard Toys kindly provided me with 2 colouring books that I will be giving away to you guys. Orchard Toys are a company who specialises in educational toys and games. I have…
People who have been following me on Instagram lately knew that I was heading off to New York for a few days. The time has flown so fast and I am already back in the country a few days now. It took me a while to adjust to the time difference again. Hello Jetlag! I am still tired now. Let…
This time next week I am off to Dublin airport to get on a long flight to New York. To mention that I am overly excited is an understatement. My bestie is meeting me over there because she is flying from Germany. We decided it’s easier and cheaper that everyone makes their own way to New York first rather than…
On Sunday a friend of mine and I decided to treat ourselves to some afternoon tea in the Castle Dargan Hotel in Co. Sligo. The weather is horrendous lately, so there was no better way to spend it indoors by the fire with some treats. Castle Dargan is a Golf as well as a Wellness hotel only 10 mins located…
On Saturday we celebrated Chloe’s First Birthday. She turned one last Monday but I decided not to have her party until the weekend after. It was a bit mad the weekend before her birthday anyway with Matthew getting an X-ray done for his limp which is now fine. (He only pulled a muscle, thank god) Saturday morning I started to…
I can’t believe I am actually writing this today. My little princess Chloe turned 1 today. It has been a whole year already that we spent together. This time last year I was in the labour ward getting induced but having the first strong contractions. At 5.20pm my little princess came into this world then. She is a really happy…
2016 is the year of improving/upgrading our home. After living in it for nearly 7 years you’d think everything is perfect but in fact owning a house always means updating it. I love doing this sort of stuff though. I am big into DIY projects. Obviously it is going to take a bit longer when you mind 2 kids…
It’s just under 2 months until my bestie and I are heading off to New York for our girly holiday. I am really excited, although I have been to New York before. I was lucky enough to be traveling with hubby twice 4 years ago with work, as we work in the same company and work in New York,…
I hope everyone enjoyed the start into their new year 2016. I’ll be honest I didn’t even make it until midnight. I just about made it to 11pm to celebrate German New Year. I was woken up by the fireworks around and that was it. Goes to show, I am getting old. This was probably the first time ever in…
While they are little we want to capture their firsts with lots of photos. They are only small for such a short amount of time. I am snapping away at everything, daily, hourly. Everyone following me on Instagram must be sick of me posting photos sometimes minutes apart. This Christmas will be Chloe’s first ever Christmas. I know, she will…
Here we go. Only 2 months, yes 2 months until this little lady is turning 1!! Fastest year ever, right? She has had a quite busy month. Continue reading what she has been up to and how she is doing. Height/Weight: She is definitely my little chubby girl and she loves her food. Recently she had an appointment and she was…
