It’s in the genes.

February 17, 2015

I was fondly remembering my own life as a child earlier today, and to be honest it has made me think that my children need DNA testing. They may look a small bit like me, but then again if I look closer maybe not, and they seem to have some of my mannerisms, but that … More It’s in the genes.

A new beginning.

February 16, 2015

I’ve been blogging two years now and have enjoyed every post I’ve ever written. In the past few months I’ve realised the direction I wish to go, which is not to be a commercially successful blogger,(as if it ever was) but to write, and this weekend, Valentines Day to be precise, my first ever short … More A new beginning.

Can only a Mother, mother?

February 12, 2015

Why do I ask? I refer to the arguments currently doing the rounds against same sex marriage here in Ireland, one of which is that if a gay man marries and adopts, their child will be denied a mother. It has prompted me to ask can only a mother mother, or a father father? How … More Can only a Mother, mother?

If he could have written you…..

February 10, 2015

My father died nearly thirty years ago from Motor Neurone Disease. We were all robbed of our future with him. He was a wonderful father, a gentle soul and my Moms best friend. Today I remember my Dad as I write an imagined letter to a loved one, written within the mind of someone unable … More If he could have written you…..

My life on twitter

February 5, 2015

Do you tweet? Do you understand twitter? No? Well join the club. From what I see I am among the very few who tweet for my own entertainment. I do tweet my post as I publish it but I don’t retweet it at different times, nor do I schedule tweets, in fact if I’m being … More My life on twitter

Hang in there.

January 31, 2015

Mothers of young babies, toddlers and ‘kids who should know how to sleep but don’t’, are you tired? Is your life one long interrupted night? Have you forgotten what it feels like to sleep a full night? I sympathise with you. Babies and young children are wonderful, if only they came with some sort of … More Hang in there.

Happy Birthday to me.

January 28, 2015

Well actually Happy Birthday to ‘My thoughts on a page’, which has over the past two years become very much a part of me. I have laughed and cried out loud here and enormously enjoyed every post I’ve written. Like New Year a birthday is a time to reflect, to look forward and back. When … More Happy Birthday to me.

Sharing is caring.

January 26, 2015

We bloggers share every time we write. We share our thoughts, advice and experiences. No matter what it is we write about, the moment we press ‘publish’ we agree to share. Why? Personally I share for various reasons. For a long time I wrote to offload. To make sense of life as it happened. During … More Sharing is caring.

My writing, an update of sorts.

January 19, 2015

How is my creative writing going, I am sure large numbers of you are wondering? Well not as well as my creative reasons for not writing! So far I am about two months behind but hopefully after this week it is going to be full steam ahead. I found with Danny’s anniversary, then Christmas and … More My writing, an update of sorts.

Where am I?

January 13, 2015

It’s the new year and we should be all fired up, filled with fresh enthusiasm. It is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Yet here I am struggling to write. This is no writers bloc, nor is it burn out. It is once again the failure of my fingers to co operate. Most … More Where am I?
