Home Schooling Day 1

Hi all, So last Thursday my kids' schools all shut down (as did all schools in the Republic of Ireland) to avoid spread of the Corona Virus. I was delighted. Firstly, the government made the right call, quickly. Secondly, I was going to have time at home to work on projects that I've wanted to … Continue reading Home Schooling Day 1

New Baby/Parenting Advice – I give to anyone who will listen!

Ignore most of the advice you get given. Listen to what people tell you and thank them, and then decide what you liked about the advice, and what suits your parenting style and ignore the rest. Don't let it get you into a tizzy if they are giving advice that doesn't suit what you are … Continue reading New Baby/Parenting Advice – I give to anyone who will listen!

Don’t you just feel helpless

Poor babies and all they go through. Last night we had a very bad time with our little one. She's 1 year old now, and the past week has been teething badly, drooling galloons of spit everywhere. And the night before last she was up in the middle of the night upset, so last night … Continue reading Don’t you just feel helpless

Little people are amazing!

It's amazing watching a little person learn about the world. We forget they have to learn everything from scratch. I'm sitting here watching my one year old daughter potter around the sitting room here, exploring everything. And she has just seen the laptop over, grabbed a handful of the side of the laptop and squished … Continue reading Little people are amazing!

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!

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

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

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
