It has been a few months since I wrote this post about Me time or the lack thereof in which parents do not get much of and I have been reflecting recently on how busy life really is. I am laughing to myself as I read back on my ramblings in this post as I... Continue Reading →
One for him, one for her and one for Mammy. Competition time.
So with Black Friday domineering everything here in Ireland the last week I reckon everyone has had their fill of browsing online for clothing and bargains! So I decided to do a little competition and as always there is something for him, for her and for Mammy. I am passionate about reading, from a young... Continue Reading →
World prematurity day
Today is World prematurity day and as a parent to premature twins who thankfully are happy and healthy three-year olds, I am reminded more so today of that journey we undertook during my pregnancy.

Making memories and looking back.
I am feeling very sentimental as of late and even more so after one afternoon in my parents’ house when the twins were knee-deep in photo albums of me as a child with my family. Pictures of first trips to Santa, pictures of first holidays and day trips intermixed with random pictures snapped at home with... Continue Reading →
What is going on with eyebrows
Right I have a brow to pluck with you, sorry pardon the pun I couldn’t resist, but I cannot hold it in any longer. What the bleep is going on with eyebrows these days?? I am all for brows framing the face, I get the importance of them in having a finished look. I know... Continue Reading →
