I know, I know, it’s been well over a week since it was Christmas Day. But the blog is mainly for looking back on our memories over the years and the fact I took a blog break, I have to keep this safe on my little blog and even write about it in January. Christmas has been lovely. We could…
Did you all have a good start into the new year? The festive season has gone by so quickly and I haven’t even got a chance to write up all my Christmas related posts yet. I think it is still okay to do so when the new year has only just started. I took a break over Christmas and just…
I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front the last week and a bit. Simple reason is I wanted to enjoy the festive season with the family and not worry about posts going out. However the last post of this year has got to be the Me and Mine Project. We have been joining two years now and…
I wasn’t quite sure whether I should write about this on my blog or not, but it’s about my world after all and not just the kids. Plus this post I am about to publish, was part of half of my life. As some of you may or may not know, I used to be a big Westlife fan. To…
Wow, I can’t believe it’s the very last month of the Siblings project. I have said it multiple and I am going to say it one last time this year… the year has gone way too fast. The last month of this project is always very special because I am creating a collage throughout the year that shows me how…
Our garden is still very basic, with a shed, some flower pots and a flower bed I created back in the summer. We were due a gardener to call over and get some work done a few months ago. Though there has been some complications along the way, we won’t be getting anything done now until Spring next year. However…
In just a matter of days it’s December, the last month of the year. What a fast year it has been. I am so glad I have the Christmas presents for the kids off the list. One less thing to worry about and I can now concentrate on the food. Every year we have a different mains for Christmas day…
Heading away this time of year has become very popular in the last few years. Even celebrating Christmas abroad seems to be the new trend. It’s not an option for us this year but I have looked into heading to Lapland for a few days next year. Let’s be honest, Ireland is never going to get a white Christmas.
Just over three weeks ago a work friend and me drove into the big smoke for something special. Something that might be a bit a strange to other people. People that know me, also know how much I love cats. I have had a cat in my life since I was a toddler. The last few months is actually the…
Over the last few months Chloe has found the love for Peppa the pig. To some parents this an absolute nightmare. They can’t stand the pig and are trying to stand well off it. I don’t mind too much. Even the five year old is still interested, particularly in the iPad apps you can avail of in the app store.…
How did your Halloween go? Did the kids enjoy trick or treating on Tuesday evening? In Ireland we had a longer weekend as on Monday it was a bank holiday. This gave us the change to do more together as a family. The Monday we had planned to go to the Pumpkin Patch in Co. Meath.
We are into November already and have left Halloween behind us. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Or maybe you are already finished? Up until a week ago I had absolutely nothing bought. Then I had a day off last week and I bought everything. There is one more thing for Chloe and that’s it. The review you are…
Happy Halloween everyone. This means October has come to an end and it’s time to share with you what we have been up to in the month of October. Lots of fun was had during this month. I really enjoy taking part in the me and mine project. It’s something that I will be glad I have in a few…
Social media is a good way for bloggers to gain readers and followers. Sometimes it can be hard though and you have to put a serious effort into hour blog. I have been blogging over three years now and I’m slowly getting there.
As a child I loved going to the zoo. My mum and me took a trip on the train for about an hour and a half to the next city to go to a big zoo. Berlin Zoo has to be my favourite one though. I think we went to the zoo at least once a year. Both my kids…
Well can you believe it… we are at the end of October and 2017 is slowly coming to an end. I can’t actually believe how fast the year has gone. It’s been a year already since we moved into our new house this month.
Over the last few months Chloe has taken a liking to Peppa the pig. She was never into watching TV until she turned two which is a good thing too. As she becomes more aware of her surroundings now and knows what’s going on, she demands Peppa Pig on the TV every day. Her big brother doesn’t mind too much…
The weather has definitely taken a turn. After an ex hurrucane and another storm afterwards sitting two weeks, you can definitely say it’s autumn. Temperatures are going up and down like a yo yo. Plans have to be made for indoor fun.
It has been a while since I had a candidate for my blog series “A day in a parenting blogger’s life”. I love reading other mums/dad’s routines and was delighted to receive another entry recently. If you haven’t taken part in my series already, then don’t be shy and drop me a quick email and I will send you some…
As part of the Play Patrol team, I am occasionally reviewing selective toys from the BigJigs Toys website. Toys that my own kids will love. These might even give you an idea for Christmas. It’s to help people like you to get the feel for the actual toy. A review with a few random words and five stars on the…
