For some people it is back to normal school drop offs this week. In Ireland we still have a week of holidays and we are not back to routines until next week. However I only took off last week so the kids are enjoying their time off in creche this week. Matthew told me he missed his little friends he…
Lately we had such lovely weather. Spring is truly in the air. I really hope it stays now. We had enough of the cold and wet weather in fairness. It’s time for some long lasting sunshine and lots of days out with the family.
Recently I was watching a video on YouTube from Alex who is one of the bloggers I have been following for years. She did an interview with her three year old on camera. I have done two or three interviews with Matthew to date and it is so interesting how different the answers are each year. However, I noticed I…
Last weekend we went on a short little trip to Galway for St. Patrick’s Day. It was a Bank holiday Monday which gave us an extra day as a family. When you work full time, you are trying to squeeze as much time as you can. It would have been a waste of a weekend if were not going to…
Last weekend has been probably the first full fun packed weekend of this year. We have been hibernating a lot in January and the weather only started to pick up now. The wind is crazy these days. I don’t remember a day it has not been windy. So it was nice to get out and about as a family for…
Last weekend we celebrated Chloe’s fourth birthday. I wanted to document this a few days ago but busy day to day life got in the way. I find it important to write it down so I can look back on it in many years to come.
Dear Chloe, I can’t believe I am writing yet another letter to you. It means you are once again one year older. The time is just flying by. Today you are turning four years of age. You will be having a little party with your friends in creche and I am sure there will be lots of cake. Matthew told…
It has been two weeks already since I jetted off to Spain for a short trip away with my friend Karoline. It was something that I booked spontaneous. She was going anyway but I decided I would join her. I love a good travel deal on flights and accommodation.
I know we are all well over the Christmas period this week but I still think this deserved its on post because it’s not just operating over Christmas
I think it’s fair to say that we are all back into the routine the last two days. I have been back to work since Monday. It is a bit depressing alright after having over a week off but money has to be made, that’s just the way life goes. I thought I would share with you how our Christmas…
We are in the final hours of the year 2018. It was a good one. Not too much action like the previous year but still plenty of adventures and experiences for the kids. 2019 will be a busy one for us. Hopefully we will be going on a Summer holiday as the last one has been two years.
It has become quite a tradition on my blog at this stage, where I write a post at the end of the year that reflects back on the year that was.
Last weekend we set off to meet Santa in County Kildare. I am trying to mix up the location each year. This year I booked Santa’s Magic Trail in the Clanard Court in Athy. Thought we’ve only been living in Kildare two years, I have never been down that end of the County.
Have you booked your Summer holiday for next year yet? Or maybe you are waiting until all the Christmas madness is over and book in the new year? I haven’t decided yet, whether we will go on a Summer holiday at all next year. The last one was two years ago so we should really treat ourselves.
As it’s the last month of the year, I thought I should take part in the project one last time for this year. I know I have taken out some time from it the last month or two. I just didn’t have anything to share about the two really but then I remembered the lovely collage I created of the…
Two weekends ago me and my friend Sandra went off to Belfast for the weekend. We met there as she was traveling from Sligo and I was from Kildare. Prior to our trip we setup an itinerary where we would like to explore in Belfast. We met up at the Holiday Inn Express hotel which had free parking… heads up…
How are you all holding up with the Christmas presents? Do you still need to buy a few last minutes gifts or are you all done? I am all done apart from the wrapping part. However this year Santa decided not to wrap the presents. They are going to be in the kids sack. The boxes are too big this…
The year 2018 is slowly coming to an end. It’ll be Christmas in just two weeks time and then we are not far from New Year’s Eve either. It has been a good year.
At this point most of your kids wrote their letter to Santa and probably posted them too. Every year An Post collaborates with Santa to send the letters to the North Pole and he even send a reply back. We have only ever done this once. Matthew was only small at the time so he wouldn’t remember.
This December I am kind of taking part in the Blogmas Challenge. It is supposed to be a post every day. So far I failed miserably but I am doing catch up at least and don’t give up altogether. Three years ago I shared a festive recipe on my blog which is very popular at all Christmas market in Germany.
