I wanted to do a recap of 2014, but it seemed a bit boring. What would I write and how would I present it? Then I saw a linky on my blog buddie Sadhbh’s blog. (In case you are not Irish and think I was typing not looking at the keys, her name is Irish … More 2014. That was the year that was.
I’m sure some of you have contenders, but I think it will be difficult to beat the one I received last year. It was given to me by a friend of mine after a very difficult year. The year had begun with young Daniel coming home from hospital just before Christmas. He had been diagnosed … More The most thoughtful Christmas present I have ever received.
“Wear your ruby shoes when you’re far away, so you’ll always stay home in your heart”. (love and happiness) From the moment my first baby was placed in my arms I became a different person. Life was no longer about me. When she smiled my heart soared, when she cried my heart broke. When she … More I hold my breath until I see you again.
Oh that’s a really good idea for a post. I can’t wait to write it. But first I must get home. How will I start…? Yes, perfect, that should work. But first I must make dinner. Now where was I..? Oh yes, I can see where this is going. But first I must get the … More Bloggers, does this sound familiar?

What if this was your last Christmas. What would you wish for as a gift? I’m sure I’m not alone when it comes to not being overly organised at Christmas, that I’m not the only one who finishes their Christmas shopping on Christmas eve. Every year I begin shopping early December believing I’ll sail through … More What do I really want for Christmas?
For those of you waiting with baited breath, and those of you on your knees praying to St Anthony for me, I have to inform you that my phone is still missing. I am now beginning to believe it is being held against it’s will. In case you don’t know the bad news, I lost … More My missing phone update.
They say ‘Never work with children’. Well they may be right but sometimes they sure are fun. Recently I have been prompted by a group of young swimmers I am teaching, to ask myself, if I could rid the world of just one thing what would it be? My answer… digital clocks. Not world poverty … More You can’t win them all!
I read a facebook comment from an online friend which made me stop and think. For her at the moment life is far from ideal. Even though I’m sure she will have a lovely Christmas it is not quite the Christmas she would have dreamed of. As I struggled for something ‘wise’ to say to … More A Merry Christmas?
We are a family of real Christmas tree people. No pop out of a box, artificial tree for us. We take our tree hunting seriously and this year was no exception.
