Hi everyone, I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. I am actually in the middle of transferring my current blog to my own self hosted blog. So the blog could be down for a day or so. It will bring a new theme, a new header and a few other bits. So stay tuned. š Janine xx
At the weekend we went to Dublin. It was time to show Matthew some wild animals. He enjoyed the trip if we take out the bit to actually travel there. I didnāt think it was start off too good for us at first because once we arrived it started to rain. Luckily we needed to have some lunch first anyway.…
What a lovely day it was today. Sunny all, blue sky, perfect for a family day out. Started off with a nice walk in the morning in Strandhill. Of course I needed to have an ice cream in that beautiful weather. We found this new playground in Strandhill by strolling around a caravan car park. So much better than the…
So it is finally the weekend. Just in time for publishing my newly designed header for my blog. Let me know what you think. Overtime I might be changing a few more things around or add on more things but I have to come up with something first. š Please let me know what else you would like to see…
You were all probably wondering why I haven’t updated in a while. Well there’s 2 reasons to it. Mainly it’s because the world cup is on now and in our family it’s all about watching the Germany matches. Secretly I hope they win it and they have a good chance but the Netherlands aren’t so bad either. The second reason…
So Wednesday, 28th May 2014, Karo and I were finally approaching our free holiday in Tenerife. After a long flight for both of us we finally met at Tenerife South Airport at 7pm, took our rental car and drove to the Spring Hotel Vulcano. As we didnāt have a sat nav we drove around in circles first. But after studying…
Yesterday morning we decided to go to Strandhill for an Irish Breakfast in the lovely cafe Shell’sĀ at the seafront. They have amazing food! Not just the breakfast but everything else, too. It is all home-made. I cannot recommend it enough.Ā A few years ago they have launched their first cook book called “Surf Book”. Since then they have launched a second…
Last night we went out to Strandhill to see the sunset because it was the perfect weather for it. Thank god we went. Look at these amazing shotsā¦

The ceremony was in Boyle 30 mins down the road. The ceremony setup The wedding bus After the ceremony we drove to…
Yesterday I finally got a chance to cut the grass and trim it along the sides. It looked like a jungle. I should have uploaded a ābefore and afterā picture but this is the outcome of what it looks like now. Just missing one or 2 plants and thatās my wonderful garden back for the summer. š Today I started…
Today was a mixed day. A bit of rain and a bit of sunshine but in the end it turned out ok and it was actually warm enough to go out with just a light jumper and no jacket. The morning we spent in the house playing. Couldnāt really do much more but thank got the weather picked up in…
Today we had a busy day. Started very early. And when I say early, I mean early. Ā I had to get up at 3.15am as a few colleagues in work and me decided to walk/run 5k. It was all for a good cause of course. Its called “Darkness into Light”. Great fun it was. I’d say ill be doing that…
Wednesday already… This week seems to be flying. At the weekend we decided to buy a potty for Matthew. So now our house is a proud owner of one. š I might try and start him on it at the weekend because during the week it’s just too hectic after work. Ā This will make life easier with changing. He is…
Today I need your opinions. I am going to a wedding at the end of May. I havenāt picked my dress yet. (Iād like to be one of the āshort notice peopleā) Because is the summer I was thinking of something bright and colourful. Whether it is going to a short dress or a maxi dress I am not sure.…
Today we had some great fun blowing bubbles. Once you stop the crying starts. š On another noteā¦ at the moment I am trying to take up my other hobby again which was snail mail. If anyone is out there who would like to write letters, please leave a comment. š I be delighted.

What a lovely day it was again today. We were able to be outside pretty much the whole day. The day started off a bit unexpected though. Originally we were supposed to be going to Dublin to look at a new couch. Then I found out my battery in my car was flat because I left the key in engine…
