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.

Then there were two.

January 25, 2015

Be careful what you wish for. Today I am sitting at my laptop, catching up on reading and commenting, and taking a bit of time to ponder a new story I hope to write for a competition. This is the day of my dreams, something often wished for over many years. Me time. Yet it’s … More Then there were two.

Letter… To the one who stole my childhood.

January 23, 2015

Last year I did a series of posts where others sent me letters they wanted to write. I received letters of regret, love, confession and thanks. They were beautifully written and many were poignant. I never shared my own letter, but I did write one. So tonight I am ready to share mine. I met … More Letter… To the one who stole my childhood.

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.

My daughter thinks I’m a lax parent.

January 10, 2015

How pushy are you as a parent? Do you wish for your children to get good grades? Are they involved in after school activities, which you take a keen interest in? What future do you dare to dream for your child? I am sure if we are honest many parents are highly ambitious. However there … More My daughter thinks I’m a lax parent.

Am I the only one?

January 5, 2015

Am I the only one who is terrified by New year, and the prospect of all it may bring? Am I the only one who sings ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in tears, missing those who are gone? Am I the only one afraid to look down the road of 2015, fearing what I might see? Am … More Am I the only one?

This one is for you.

January 4, 2015

‘Do you mind her writing about you like that in her blog?” my friend asked my husband over Christmas. We were all gathered in a friends house and I had just discovered that a number of those present, regularly read my blog, or at least had access to it. ‘Yerrah” said my husband, (don’t even … More This one is for you.

So long Christmas.

January 3, 2015

Here in Ireland Christmas is a marathon lasting almost two weeks. This morning I woke up and not for the first time this week I wondered, “what day is this?” As a family of six we have spent an extraordinary amount of time at home together, but not only at home, we have actually spent … More So long Christmas.

2014. That was the year that was.

December 31, 2014

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.

The most thoughtful Christmas present I have ever received.

December 29, 2014

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.
