Even though we have received bad news on Saturday 29th March, we still had to make the best out of the visit as Matthew couldn’t be in the house all the time. He wasn’t really adjusting to the new environment anyways. At the playground At the playground with godmother Karo “Mueritzeum” which is an aquarium. Unfortunately we didn’t get the…
As probably some of you may know my mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer May last year. She’s been in hospital in and out. The last 3-4 weeks were tough on us all. 24th March I had to fly over because she was not well at all. She only returned from the hospital a couple of days before. The cancer…
So a colleague/friend of mine and I finally managed to organise a play date between our 2 sons. It just took us 19 months. 🙂 But you probably all know yourself, there is always something coming up, or too bust with work etc etc the list is endless. It was great to catch up and the 2 Matthew’s met. We…
Today I am going to write about something completely different. Website: fatmumslim.com.au/ Name: Chantelle Let me introduce you to this amazing girl. This is the reason why I started blogging again. I don’t even quite remember how I came to this website but I think the main reason was instagram. I started following friends and other people and they used…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I hope you had a nice time. As I was sick the whole weekend, I decided to at least attend the Sligo Parade with Matthew and Daddy of course. Unfortunately Matthew picked up a cough so the morning was a bit of a nightmare with him not having a nap but we went to the…
So on Thursday the viral infection gave me the rest. I collected Matthew from creche and we went for a walk outside. It was nice but there was still a little chill. So at the end of of our walk my ear started going funny as if you have water in your ear. It wouldn’t go away. Really painful! So…
So this morning I decided to stay home. I have been off form since Sunday. Sore throat but now it is just unbearable. It is painful to swallow. 🙁 I decided to go to the doctor. Thank god it is not tonsillitis but a very bad sore throat. He said it is a viral infection. In that case antibiotics don’t…
What an exciting day it was. Work as normal but then I got some exciting news. I participate in a lot of competitions on Facebook. You have to win at some stage. lol Anyway, long story short, under the message folder “other” on Facebook I found out at the weekend that I won a week away in Tenerife for 2…
  And here is that hated day of the week again. Weekend has gone way too quickly. So you were probably wondering what my daily schedule would be with an energetic toddler like Matthew. Well, I am working full-time. Daddy drops him into crèche 9am in the morning before he goes to work himself. We both still work in the…
Hey you, It has been a while hasn’t it? I have decided to bring this blog back after following blogger fatmumslim for over a year. I’m not as good as her now but I’m hopefully getting back into it. A lot has happened since the last post. I have become a mum. Life has changed slightly since. No more sleep…
So Dermot and me finally decided to go to this bar where it is mainly about playing table tennis! Loved it and I beat Dermot’s ass! We went down to 23rd street on 7th September. On Friday we went to a different area this time. It was still Manhattan but we have never been there before. There was this suggested…
Sorry for not updating for a while. Been busy doing sightseeing and stuff like that. We survived the hurricane anyways. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Of course the coastal areas were flooded but in our area was nothing at all. It was raining a lot and windy but that’s it. Since my last update we…
Dermot bought tickets to the US Open. He loves his tennis! And he decided to bring me too. Nice of him isn’t it? So on the 31st August 2011 we went to Flushing Meadows by subway and had a look around first. They had these practicing hall where you can play tennis, table tennis, practice your serve and many other…
Thought I am going to drop in a quick update for you. New York’s weather is going mental lately. Not that it started off with a heatwave late July/ early August, we also had an earthquake a few days ago. It was a 30 second one but still weird. Never experienced one before. At the time I was sitting in…
It’s Thursday 25th August 2011 and I am already 10 days in New York. Time flies doesn’t it? When I arrived a week ago on a Tuesday (15th August) Dermot collected me from the airport with flowers. Cute I know. The flight was really smooth and it didn’t feel like flying for 7 hours. There was a lot of entertainment…
Long time no see. I’ve been busy the last few weeks and never even got the time to update you with my latest trips. I am going to do this right now. So like I mentioned in my last post I have been to Germany to visit my mum and then we went to Spain for a weeks holiday. 2nd…
Little update on my visit in Germany. Tuesday 26th July: I arrived in Germany that day in the morning around 10.30am. I stayed in a hotel at dublin airport the night before as my flight was early in the morning the next day. After a little delay on the German train because the train driver decided to arrive late for…
This week Dermot and me have been busy cleaning the house. He is going to New York tomorrow morning and leaving me behind. Don’t worry I am joining him shortly after that. So yesterday we have been busy bees packing his suitcases. So far so good. First suitcase is packed with all his clothes plus tennis racket. Doesn’t weight more than…
I had the ad up in the shops only for about a week and a lady rang me on Thursday about it. She would be interested in one of the kittens. So in the evening time she came over and had a look at them. She decided to take the one with the black spot on the nose. She collected…
Time flies and my kittens are already 7 weeks old now. I’m really relieved how fast they got rid of the flu in the end. All eyes perfect and none of them went blind. They are able to go to the toilet themselves now even though a few little accidents happen every now and then ( pee at the front…
