Any excuse for a book post! Okay, so regular readers of my blog will know my answer to this. It’s a definite no! I’m still dreaming about the day that I get to have a library in our house like Belle’s in Beauty and the Beast. Can you imagine? That would be amazing. I’d also… Continue reading Can you ever have too many books?

I know, three consecutive days of blog posts! I’m feeling very motivated with the blog at the moment and I have lots of ideas floating in my head, so whilst I’m feeling like this, I’m just going to keep going. I can’t say that it’s going to stay this way, I’ve a lot of work… Continue reading What’s in a name?

It’s been a long stint so far hasn’t it? 2021 isn’t exactly living up to the expectation we all put on it! And with the Irish government all but announcing that we’re in for at least another nine weeks of strict restrictions (basically the same as we’re in now), it all feels a bit never-ending… Continue reading So what’s getting you through?

I’ve been thinking about this blog a lot recently, about how I want to do more with it and post on here much more. However, at the moment, I’m finding that lack of time is my biggest problem as (fortunately) I’m very busy workwise which takes up most of my free time (along with episodes… Continue reading Am I still a “new” mum?

Yet again it’s been a while, the title might explain why! How are you all doing? Lockdown three is it? At least it is in Ireland the UK. It feels to me like it’s been some sort of a lockdown for almost a year now. Even when we weren’t “locked down” so to speak, things… Continue reading The Juggle is Real

It's finally 2021! It feels good to say that at long last. Although the global situation is currently very difficult, I'm putting my energies into being optimistic about the new year. I always love the start of the year because I feel it is a time for optimism, but this time it feels more important… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Good morning! How is everyone today? I hope you’re all well and coping with this continuing pandemic as well as you can. We’re in a lockdown here in Ireland, and I know that the UK is following with similar measures from Thursday onwards. I just keep thinking of the saying: “this will pass”. It can’t… Continue reading A New Venture

Hello! I know, it’s been a while – yet again. There’s been a lot going on, I’ve started to write so many blog posts, and never quite finished them! But I’m determined to finish this one. How are you doing? This pandemic is lasting a long time, isn't it? I’m trying to keep positive and… Continue reading Finding Balance

Hi! How are you doing? It’s been a while since I last posted – again! To be honest, there’s not been too much to post about. Let’s face it, although some restrictions have been lifted, our lives are still so, well, restricted! Despite everything, I decided to buy a new diary – I always get… Continue reading An empty diary and a bit of “mum guilt”!

I don’t know about you, but something I’m struggling with during this pandemic, is finding things to do with our little man. Yes, we have settled into a comfortable routine at home, but it is very much “same old, same old” at this stage. As lovely as it is, I’m so aware that he needs… Continue reading A normal afternoon
