Relaxation can be a lot harder once there are kids in this world to look after. Though it is important to get some me time. Working as a full-time mum and providing the kids with 100% energy, and sometimes more, can be tiring. This is why I consider the evenings the times I relax, or try to anyway.
Have you made any plans for the next bank holiday weekend yet? If not, then you might like one of the events I am sharing with you in this post. Halloween falls onto a Tuesday this year. I have been thinking of taking it off but then thought, not much point as we can celebrate it at the weekend. It’s…
This weekend we decided to start on the decoration for Halloween. This means we get to see it longer. The kids were particularly happy about that. Matthew has asked me to start on it since last weekend. It does make the house look so much cosier
Last week was the end of an era in our house. After putting the cot bed on many different buy and sell groups online, it finally sold at the end of the week and it went to a better home. The cot bed days are gone. We got nearly a good five years out of it. It was such a…
I can’t believe I have actually made it half way through the Blogtober challenge. Sometimes I have been struggling but then last minute I was able to come up with something. Today is one of those days again. I don’t have a phobia as such. I am afraid of certain things but I wouldn’t call it phobia.
In a few days time it will be exactly a year since we moved from the West of Ireland to the East. The kids adjusted so well and we don’t regret it one bit. There are so much more opportunities here and way more things to do for the kids which was important for us. Can you believe it, it…
At the very beginning of the year I decided to compile a list of things we could do as a family over the course of the whole year. It is just so much easier to have everything written down. It has been almost a year since we moved house. I mentioned before how much easier it is for us to…
Last Monday there was exciting news at the Trunki headquarters. If you are one of their subscribers, you will know by now that they released two new Trunki designs. One being Cassie Cat and the other Rocco Race Car. We were super lucky and got to review one of them. And even more exciting news, if you are a regular…
When it comes to traveling with children, us mums have to think about everything. Everyone with kids knows how much stuff you need. You’re still trying to pack as little as you can. But I have seen parents with actual car seats that can be pushed at airports simply because they need it for their rental car for example. There…
For Matthew’s birthday he received a lot of Lego. I haven’t bought him any Lego before because he was never into it and never asked for it. The closest we ever got to Lego, was Mega Blocks and Lego Duplo. I am happy to help him out with everything as indeed I enjoy building these myself.
We are half way through the month of September. The last two weeks I have definitely noticed a climate change and the short sleeved tops are going further and further back in my wardrobe. I have done a bit of shopping lately for the kids for some more long sleeve tops. Two days ago I even had to get out…
In just two weekends time I will be heading off to the BlogOn conference again. I have been for the first time in May. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a ticket for the September one, too. Plus I like a little mini trip away every now and again. Manchester is not exactly far with a half an…
This time last year I did an interview with Matthew who was then entering pre-school at the time. One year on and he has been going to big school almost two weeks already. I was curious to see what his answers would be now a year later. Year by year his speech would also improve. In fact he talks a…
Last week we set off on another adventure in County Kildare. Just before the weather gets bad (which it is right now!). Hubby and me took a day off to treat Matthew on his birthday while Chloe attended creche. It was nice to have one on one time and just focus on one child. I looked up beforehand where we…
Last Thursday we probably reached one of the biggest milestones yet. After so many years of spending his time in creche, he entered the big school life. It’s hard to believe that time has come already. He looks so grown up in his uniform. It’s very surreal.
We are heading into the weekend already. As I write this, my now five year old has completed two days of school this week. He is now watching some well deserved Lego City. The week has gone super fast. I had three days off this week and it’s back to normality next week. I could get used to dropping him…
The holiday season is coming to an end and some children are already back to school. You may have gone on a a mini break away or the big two week summer holiday abroad. Wherever it has taken you this year, I guarantee you, you have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos. But what do you do with them?
Dear Matthew, Today we celebrated a special day… your birthday. I can’t believe you turned five years old already. You were definitely spoilt all weekend and you deserve it of course.
I feel like this little project of mine has been dragging on for such a long time. It all started off at the beginning of the year, when I shared my wish list of decor with you. Decorating each room in the house can take such a long time. Particularly when I want it to be 110% and not just…
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” Another relatively quiet weekend behind us. Hubby was away at a family wedding for a few days so the kids and I didn’t go too mad doing stuff together. Plus the weather wasn’t too good.
