The Gloss is Gone

In Ireland, there's this annual weight loss programme, that is on tv at the moment. And one of the leaders is this wonderful young woman who has had a terrible time trying to become a mother. She has had an ectopic, a late miscarriage and a baby who was born but didn't survive. And she … Continue reading The Gloss is Gone

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I'm not a big person for Valentine's Day, however I love flowers any day so I'll happily take another opportunity to get some flowers. My hubbie picked up some flowers for me the other day, a little bunch of pretty pink roses and a bunch of purple lilies. I told him to get them before … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!

Constance Hall

I spotted these two books on my friends shelf written by Constance Hall. I had seen one or two of her Facebook posts shared and really liked what she had to say. So I asked could I borrow them. She said yes but made sure I would give them back because she had bought them … Continue reading Constance Hall

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!

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!

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!

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!

Depending On Others

This is something I am not very good at. Depending on others. I don't know why, I suppose I have always been well able to take care of myself so I tend not to rely or depend on other people (except my husband). I didn't actually realise that until about five or six years ago … Continue reading Depending On Others

Everybody is different

I have come to realise that my mental health is definitely linked to two different factors - my home and my body size. By my home I mean the mess and disorganisation. These bother me hugely these days. I was in a friends house last weekend and her house is beautiful, fully finished and fully organised … Continue reading Everybody is different

This Blog Name

Mama Fee's Happy Healthy Home It is not named that because I necessarily HAVE a happy, healthy home - it is named that because I WANT a happy, healthy home. All three of them - a happy home, and a healthy home and very importantly, it to be a home. I don't know whether I … Continue reading This Blog Name
