New Years Scale Back

Ok so, this isn't actually a post about New Years Resolutions, but it could be. Because I want to make some changes. I've decided I need to start to say no, and scale back. Scale back on how much I do, how busy I am. I decided in September that I would start doing things … Continue reading New Years Scale Back

Happy New Year!

Belated Happy New Year to everyone! The end of 2015, and the beginning of 2016 have been very busy indeed. I had a few things that I wanted to wrap up and have out of the way before Christmas, and wedding thank you cards were very high on that list for me. I spent a … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Even though it is not part of our traditions in Ireland, I love the idea of Thanksgiving. The name appeals to me - a day to give thanks. So this year I have decided to attempt to bring a little USA Thanksgiving to our house. I've the kids all coming down, there'll be 14 of … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas Planning!

I LOVE Christmas! I refuse to start decorating, or "getting in the spirit" until December.... but I start planning ages in advance. We have a big family, we have a lot of people to buy for, and a lot of days to organise.... which of course costs a lot of money, but also takes a … Continue reading Christmas Planning!

Our allotment!

This year as well as growing some fruit and veg in our back garden (and hopefully some spoils coming from my Dads too!), we have taken an allotment. My other half has spent a bit of time working on it, and has some of the beds sown. We went up for a visit yesterday - … Continue reading Our allotment!

I really don't know where to find the time to practice with my camera, let alone get out to get good shots, and then learn how … Continue reading Managing my time – to get some “me time” in!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! We had a lovely family day today. We all got dressed in green, and headed down to the parade. My son was walking in it with his playschool so that added more excitement. After the parade we went to the carnival but there was nothing age appropriate, so we got … Continue reading Happy St. Patricks Day!

Spoilt for Mothers Day!

I was completely spoilt today! I got lovely morning cuddles from my babies, then a delicious breakfast in bed along with flowers and chocolates! I was given two bunches of flowers, because when the other half brought the kids to the shop yesterday, they both wanted to choose a bunch! After breakfast the kids went … Continue reading Spoilt for Mothers Day!
