Recently we took a trip down to County Wexford. We were staying in a hotel in Wexford for one night and then decided to travel up to a farm called Kia Ora Mini Farm. There are so many farms in Ireland and we have been to quite a few. This one got great reviews so we thought we are going…
We are half way through August already and to date it’s just 16 days until my eldest is starting big school. It sounds just way too soon. Before we reached that milestone, we have another one to conquer which is his fifth birthday, three days before he is going to school. I also took a day off on his actual…
As part of being a reviewer for the BigJig’s Toys Play Patrol, I am bringing you the latest toys from the Green Toys range. I haven’t actually reviewed one in quite some time. Life is catching up and I have been super busy on the blog as well. A few weeks ago another exciting toy arrived in the post for…
“YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH” BY KAHLIL GIBRAN” We might have had a relaxing weekend with no day out but I feel like I have been to the gym every single day. Sore legs, sore arms, sore back, simply because I started working on the garden to create a flower bed with…
Over 3.2 billion people use the internet every single day. That is nearly half of the population of the whole world. It’s amazing how technology has moved on in the last twenty years. From the time we had to turn the modem on and no one was able to make phone calls or no one was able to call you,…
Last weekend we continued our Irish adventures and drove down to County Wexford. For us this county is very handy to visit as it’s not even two hours away from home. With two kids you can make this in one stretch no problem.
I haven’t shared an update on Chloe since she turned two in February. Now that it is the beginning of August, I thought it would be nice to see how she has developed six months on. I can tell you she is definitely a little character. This is her 2 1/2 years update.
Spending time together as a couple, husband and wife or fiance and fiancee, can be quite difficult while you still have to look after two small children running around. Realistically you only get couple time when the kids are in bed, right? Wrong!
Not too long ago, in fact just two weekends ago, my friend and her boyfriend were staying with us for a weekend away in Kildare. Prior to that we took to the world wide web to see what days out we could plan. We looked at options for indoor as well as outdoor activities. You never know what the weather…
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” by Kahlil Gibran Another weekend whizzed past us. Again it was packed full of fun and adventures for the kids. We finally had the weather for it again as well. It was so warm. I know, I talk about the weather a lot don’t I? It…
Good morning to you all. A dull day in Ireland today but at least it’s not cold and raining. Again our upcoming weekend is full of fun again. Have you got anything nice planned? A day in a parenting blogger’s life continues. This time I have Lyndsey joining me who blogs at Me, Him, the Dog and a Baby.
Last week Matthew reached another milestone. Hubby and me left work early, after lunch in fact, to attend his graduation play and pre-school graduation. He attended 36 weeks of pre school which is a free scheme in Ireland.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” by Kahlil Gibran. Another busy weekend left behind us and we have entered July. You wouldn’t think it is though. It has been drizzling all day.
And just like that half the year of 2017 is over. We are entering July. Can you believe it? Because I certainly can’t. You wouldn’t believe it we are in the middle of the summer when you look outside the window right now. It’s so miserable but we are promised some nice weather at the weekend again. The end of…
Welcome back to “A day in a parenting blogger’s life”. We are just a few hours away from entering the weekend. I hope you have something nice planned. I actually have my friend coming over with her boyfriend over the weekend and we are planning to go to a farm… if the weather allows us.
Chloe is getting to the age now where she is starting to like watching TV. She was never a big of watching TV. She much prefers music and nursery rhymes and she still does. Sometimes though she finds an interest in Peppa Pig. We read Peppa Pig books to her every night and she is telling me how Peppa Pig…
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” by Kahlil Gibran. I can’t believe the weekend is gone already. It’s so much more fun when you have things planned.
I am super excited to say that recently I had one of my most exciting blog collaboration since my three year blogging “career”. As you all may know, and probably seen in my blog bio and all social media channels, I am a quite an online shopping addict. When I got the opportunity to collaborate with Marks and Spencer, I…
Last weekend we did something super fun. I couldn’t actually believe how I never came across this place before. It’s so close by from our house. The other day I was browsing the web to find some fun stuff to do as a family because we were promised the best weather. I stumbled across “The Kildare Maze” which is located…
Parenting is a funny old thing. Do you remember what you did before you became a parent? I don’t either. What did we do? We must have had so much time on our hands. I’d nearly get bored thinking about it. Nowadays the kids keep us on our toes. Despite motherhood, I do like a bit of me time every…
