Hi! How are you doing? I hope you’re enjoying the summer. Here in Ireland we’re going through a patch of rainy days, so it doesn’t feel much like summer at all. But at least the days are warmer than they were - just about! Some of you may remember that my husband suffers from multiple… Continue reading Parenting, MS and Us – Two Years On

Hello again! It’s been a while (I feel like I’m starting many of my recent blog posts like this!), I’d love to blog more but between my little man and an exciting project that I’ve been working on recently time seems to have run away with itself.  But I’ve time now, it’s currently naptime which… Continue reading Hello again!

Happy Easter! How are you doing? I thought I’d do a bit of a different post today. I’ve mentioned crafting in the past and how much I love it, but it is rare I get a chance to do it (my previously mentioned crochet blanket is still no further on!). At the moment, as a… Continue reading Crafting – at long last!

Hi! How are you doing? It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so no time for blogging, but the busyness has reduced a bit (for now) and it’s a rainy Sunday morning - the perfect time for a bit of blogging! Yesterday was World Theatre Day, which I realised at about 7pm last night. Anyway,… Continue reading Acceptance

Today marks a year to the day that the schools closed in Ireland (for the first time), it was the last day that I worked with people in person. For me (and so many others) this was the day that marked the start of a life quite different from the one before.   Image by… Continue reading The day everything changed

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
