This week we meet the lovely Janine from Janine’s Little World. Thanks so much for taking part Janine Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family I’m Janine and I am originally from Germany. I’ve been living in Ireland for the past 9 years in a small town called Sligo in the […]
When we moved into our house this time last year, we had all of these ideas and plans. The house itself was perfect for us, it hadn’t long had a new kitchen, bathroom and flooring and the walls were all magnolia which meant all we had to do was furnish and colour the walls to […]
Today was Zach’s third birthday. I wrote a little letter to him last night which mentioned how excited he was about this birthday and that it was the first time that he has been. When we woke this morning he had initially forgotten what lay ahead – that was until we wished him a happy […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these – not because Zach has suddenly not been funny but because actually it is sometimes impossible to note everything down because he does not stop talking. I spent the Friday just gone at home with him and he gave me some massive corkers that I was […]
Christmas. Just remember back to being a child yourself and about how ruddy exciting it was. The whole lead up, Christmas eve and then the big day itself. Waking up and checking the end of your bed to see if Santa had come in the night. Opening your presents in a frenzy to see what […]
I keep weeping every time I leave Zach at nursery at the moment. I genuinely seem to be struggling with the fact that he is being settled into pre-school and it’s such a silly thing considering that all that is happening really is that he’s moving rooms. I mean, it’s not like he hasn’t done […]
I’ve written before about Zach’s dreams. It was a while ago and I’d noticed him whimpering in his sleep and saying the odd thing when he woke up that gave me an idea about what his dream was about. He was still only just learning to form sentences though so a lot of it was […]
The other day I posted a photo on my personal Facebook page of Zach’s new pre-school folder with the caption ‘and so it begins’. It was clear in this photo (as you can see below) that Zach now has a workbook and that he also brings a book home each week that we read together, ask […]
My son has a girlfriend. He is three years old and he has a girlfriend. It is quite possibly the cutest thing because he acts like an embarrassed teenager when I question him about her! His girlfriend attends his nursery and is actually one of the nursery nurse’s daughter. F (as I’ll name her), is […]
This week we meet the lovely Franca from A Moment with Franca. THanks so much for taking part Franca Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family Hi, I’m Franca. I’m 38 years old and I was born in Peru. My family background is Italian on both my father’s and mother’s sides. I […]
I hate those moments when you realise you’ve made a massive cock-up! Walking down the road earlier to get some lunch, I took my phone out, checked my emails and was happy to see that my Amazon order had been dispatched – that was until I noticed it was going to the completely wrong address; […]
On Sunday we are off to France for 6 whole nights on a fantastic bloggers trip to Eurocamp. Yep, that’s right – possibly one of the most amazing things that has happened to me since starting this blog 11 months ago was receiving an email asking if we’d like to go on holiday! And so […]
Today I turned 32. How did that happen? I swear I only fell pregnant the other day and I was 29 then…how am I 32?! Apart from having the most awesome little boy in the world filling my time along with a job, I honestly can’t think how the last few years have simply whizzed […]
We all love a good Christmas advert don’t we? And we all love animals right?! So we must all be happy when those two things are put together! Earlier this month, Vision Direct launched their very first Christmas advert featuring a short sighted pug called Gizmo. The advert tells the heartwarming story about one boy […]
