I heard about the ‘One Word Movement’ from Kate Takes 5 last year, and loved the idea of setting a one word intention for the year. It’s a simple alternative to the usual list of unoriginal New Year’s resolutions that are trotted out each year – and have usually been abandoned long before the start […]

Here’s another linky that I couldn’t resist joining. It’s been a great excuse to take a break from the relentless packing. The opportunity to blast music from the past comes from Nicola over on SimplyHomemade and the prompt is simple – what’s the playlist of your life? Songs that have significance because we associate them with times […]
I live in a full and busy house at the moment with little time for reflection. Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s going on as part of Awfully Chipper’s Snapshot Linky… Listening to: Right now as I write this post it’s ‘Fall Into Me’ by Alev Lenz. I heard this track in the last episode […]
Our first Christmas as a family of four. It’s been a mixed bag. We had fun with the kids, but also suffered from dealing with the inevitable overtired children and sleep deprivation that comes with the holidays.

The turkey has been depleted. No more presents sit under the tree promising good times ahead. Christmas decorations are (coming) down. Everyone’s feeling bloated and tired. I don’t want to see another mince pie in the near future. The fun of indulging in christmas has faded fast. Now that 2014 is in the rear view mirror, everyone’s looking ahead […]
Linking up with the Christmas memories linky over on Dr How’s Science Wows… Christmas is a memorable time of year – for children in particular. It’s the most magical holiday of them all where feats of sheer impossibility become achievable in one night. There’s all the sparkle and glitter; from a tastefully minimalist tree, to obscenely decadent flashing […]
It’s World Breastfeeding Week 2014 from Aug 1st-7th, and Irish Parenting Bloggers are sharing experiences of breastfeeding in their lives with this linky, where you can find other contributions… The World Breastfeeding Week theme this year is “Breastfeeding: A Winning Goal for Life”. Breastfeeding is no different to most parenting choices – it’s not for everyone. It can be […]
Inspired by The Busy Mama’s “Tales of parenting moments gone by“ linky, here are but a few of the many precious moments in my baby’s life that I’ll miss, but will hopefully see again with another! Those first few kicks where I was finally sure that I wasn’t imagining things. The most tangible evidence yet […]
