Christmas is by far my most favourite time of the year, the crisp frosty mornings, the shopping of course and the little faces on Christmas morning. Oh, I just LOVE everything about it! But as you know things don’t always go to plan… Here’s a list of things you can be guaranteed to happen at Christmas! (more…)
This Christmas The Irish Fairy Door Company have launched an interactive and magical worry plaque, an interactive worry plaque that allows children to try to forget about their worries and to let the fairy’s take their worries away. (more…)
A couple of weeks back I mentioned that the big kid and I had been putting our Christmas Shoebox together for Team Hope, a box full of treats including pants, socks and hygienic products like soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste and of course a doll, a ball, and some munchies. We even put in a superhero cape in. It’s our fourth year to put a box together, I’m a huge believer in paying it forward, if I can help someone out in need in any way I will try my very best to do so. (more…)
This week one of my regular readers, Karen, is sharing her pre-eclampsia in late pregnancy and emergency c-section birth story. I actually sobbed when I read this first. I’ve had issues with my blood throughout all my pregnancies and while I don’t think it’s as serious as pre-eclampsia, it terrifying not knowing what to expect or what’s going to happen next! Thank you so much for sharing your story! (more…)
Ah lads, she’s awake. She woke up a couple days after my three-month update. Raring to go. She’s found her voice. She’s not shy in letting us know she is there. In fairness to her, you have to be loud in this house to be heard. (more…)
Christmas book advent calendars – the new Christmas trend. First it was Elf on the Shelf, then there was the Christmas Eve Box and now everyone is jumping on the Christmas book advent – me included. (more…)
This week in Meet the Mumtrepreneur I’m chatting with the founder of Claphandies Liza Crotty, an inspirational woman, who has just come into her tenth year in business with Claphandies. (more…)
A few weeks back over on my social media pages I mentioned I’ll be working closely with Nuby as a brand rep. We’ve used their flip it beakers since the big kid was about two or three and their comfort teethers or ‘shakey things’ can be found in every corner of my home so it’s an exciting opportunity for all of us. They also asked me to review some products that appealed to us so I now have my very own electric ‘moo-moo machine’ and I freaking love it, along with beakers, cups and pretty much all of their SureGrip collection. (more…)
Up this week sharing her labour induction in the birth story series is first time mum Aileen Deegan of Olivia’s Mother Blog. (more…)
I’ll be honest, Elf on the Shelf is the bane of my life and he’s a creepy looking little creature but in the coming weeks, almost every household with young kids will be under elf surveillance including my own. If I could un-adopt the little bollox, I would. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve forgotten to move the little shit, reluctantly dragging myself out of the bed to put him somewhere new and adventurous for the big kid. (more…)
