I tell you something there is nothing like bringing your six-year-old to a rave of a Wednesday morning. This morning we mitched our way into town for Morning Gloryvilles Rise and Rave. (more…)
Last month I entered the Herfamily.ie healthy living challenge competition on a whim, I really didn’t think we’d get picked to take part but we did and here we are with just a couple days left of our five-week challenge, and I couldn’t be more proud of our little family. We’ve kicked our bad habits and we’ve become healthier overall once again.
A couple of months back Louise, a reader of blog and owner of LC Photography got in touch to see if I was interested in getting some photos of Kenzie as she is trying to build her current photography portfolio. It so happened Joe and I had been in talks about getting some done as we’ve some of the Toddler and the Wobbler (the poor Big Kid has none!). So I was only delighted. Louise is currently following her dreams in her first year of college whilst juggling home life, two kids and full-time photography course. (more…)

I’ve two babogs napping, one in school and another mesmerised with PJ Masks. I found it on our Virgin On Demand this morning, we are on episode #4 and I have no plans to turn it off for the next hour, the peace of a Tuesday morning is bliss. I also have a latte by my side, sound posh don’t I? Santa brought me a Nespresso. It fills me with joy. The sound of the coffee ejecting into my glass and the aroma drowns out the noise that is this house. It is heaven. (more…)
I am that girl who didn’t breastfeed because she didn’t want ‘scabby nipples’.
I am that girl who didn’t breastfeed because it wasn’t ‘normal’.
I am that girl who didn’t breastfeed because apparently, baby would be ‘too attached’ and I’d never have a life. (more…)
It’s that time of year again. The New Year resolutions will be flowing and if you are anything like me they’ll be broken by the end of week one. I’m serious! This year I’m doing something a little different. Together as a family, we will pay it forward. I want to teach my kids about being charitable, to give freely without expecting anything in return, I want to teach my kids to be the change they want to see in the world. This year we will be donating our time, money, clothes and even hair… Fancy joining in? Here’s a list of 25 ways you can pay it forward this year, the possibilities are endless! (more…)
Have you seen the Tree of Life breastfeeding photo doing the rounds? Aren’t they just divine? I haven’t shared any brelfies, or any breastfeeding photo’s online before, it’s not really my thing but my god these are just simply amazing. I’ve seen so many people asking again and again how to do it so I had to whizz up a quick post and share with you how to do it yourself, it’s so simple and the results are just beautiful. I just love how these edits highlight the love and beauty of mother and baby in such an artistic way. I’m going to frame mine. (more…)
If you haven’t figured it out already Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I just love watching their little faces on Christmas morning. This Christmas will be even better now that the Toddler gets’s it and the Wobbler is old enough to rip open hers, it’s all very exciting. Here’s my Christmas guide 2016, gifts for big kids, both girls and boys, and some of what will be found under our tree this year. (more…)
Just like last year, my gift guides have some practicality to them. Newbies and young babies don’t actually play with toys so there is no point spending hundreds on toys for ‘ah they’ll grow into them’ because really they don’t, by the time they ‘grow’ into them a birthday has passed or a Christening and the junk piles up. Here’s a list of gifts for a baby up to about 12 months. I have received some of the products featured for review but I have purchased everything in the main gift thread for the new babog or prior to receiving a review copy. (more…)
