I’m the Mom….

I'm the mom who does the school run with the baby still in her pj's.... I'm the mom who turns up to meet a friend with a nappy and bottle thrown into my bag/car, forgetting to bring wipes or food for the babies lunch... hoping that someone else will have wipes, and I can just … Continue reading I’m the Mom….

July Spring Cleaning Week!

This week the plan is to sort our house. 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!

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!

Happy Mothers Day (belated!)

Happy Mothers Day! For yesterday. I hope everyone had a lovely day. My day was actually no different to most, seeing as the hubby and Miss Q went off rotavating the allotment, leaving me to keep an eye on the dinner (after they prepped it and got it on!). But must say the hubby made … Continue reading Happy Mothers Day (belated!)

Chicken Pox!

I've spent the past 2 weeks inspecting my son, since Baba Z broke out in chicken pox. We'd had a visit from friends 2 weeks previous to that, where the following day one of the children broke out in chicken pox - meaning she was here when the child was most contagious. I didn't mind … Continue reading Chicken Pox!

Positivity winning over worry?

I sit here on the cusp, on the edge. On the edge of potentially my whole life changing. Everything falling apart around me. It is such a scary horrible place to be. I am one of the very very lucky ones who has not lost anybody that I love. This week threatens to change that. … Continue reading Positivity winning over worry?

Happy Valentines Day!

I was woken (well, I waited in bed because I heard what was going on!) with a lovely beautiful breakfast in bed brought by my wonderful three children. The hubby was long gone to work, so it was all them (in particular the 10yr old Miss Q). They had make cards this morning for me … Continue reading Happy Valentines Day!

Hello 2017

Hello everybody! I know we're nearly at the end of January so it is not a new year as such. But it is my first post this year! I've been having a restructure of thoughts and plans this year so far, I really feel in a different place to where I was this time last … Continue reading Hello 2017

Things are changing in this home!

My husband has got a job! He had an accident 9 years and damaged his leg. He was self employed at the time. I was on maternity leave on our first child. He had to get a few operations, and he couldn't work, so that was the end of the business. His leg never really … Continue reading Things are changing in this home!
