Natural Deodorant

During the summer I decided that I was going to try to change to natural deodorants. This is something that was on my radar a good few years ago and I remember I tried a crystal stick and some other type of deodorant. I can't actually remember at this stage (can I blame baby-brain? even … Continue reading Natural Deodorant

Bargain Hunter

So my husband always says if I think I'm getting a good deal, I have to buy. And he's right. But I don't just believe I'm getting a good deal because the shop says it, I always check around. If its food, I'll double check the Tesco and Supervalu websites. Depending on what else it … Continue reading Bargain Hunter

Offers on Toys at the Moment

So, I'm on the countdown to Christmas! I know, I know, its still months until Christmas (well actually 12wks, 4 days!)... but I spend all year planning for it lol, and go into major mode in September once they go back to school. In fairness, we have a pretty big family to buy for - … Continue reading Offers on Toys at the Moment

September, again!

Another September, another back to school, and another fresh start full of plans and hopes - for me! Of what I'll be able to get done, and what structures and routines I'm going to be able to implement. Which of course never have actually worked out, because life just gets crazy and busy and there's … Continue reading September, again!

The kids have been told they won't be allowed out to play with their friends this week, unless they do the jobs they had been told they were to get done at the start of the summer... and they haven't even looked at! There seems to … Continue reading July Spring Cleaning Week!

Get happy, or make a change

One of my motto's in life is that if you're not happy with things as they are, either make a change or find a way to be happy with it as is. Don't live your life complaining about how things are, and make no changes to your life. That's pointless, and annoying to others around … Continue reading Get happy, or make a change

Life is busy!

I'd love to get organised for getting on here and actually writing - but my god life is busy! I'm a mum of 4 kids now. And a lot of days I feel I'm struggling. It is tough going. I've an almost 12 year old, an 8 year old, a 4 year old and a … Continue reading Life is busy!

Pumpkin Picking!

Pumpkin Patches are a relatively new idea in Ireland (as far as I know anyway!). We had planned to go to one last year but couldn't for some reason, so this year I was adamant we were going to go. The one we chose to go to was one that we didn't need tickets for, … Continue reading Pumpkin Picking!
