Writing update and a belated happy birthday.
March 11, 2020
I thought I’d just let you all know how I’m getting on with my book writing. Well, so far so good. I’ve a deadline for mid-May which is alarmingly close but I’ve it all worked out. All I need to do is write 5000 words a week, edit the previous weeks work and never go … More Writing update and a belated happy birthday.
Happy Birthday to me.
January 30, 2020
No, I have not come out of my writing cave to announce my birthday, (it’s on St Patrick’s Day in case you’re asking) but to celebrate this blogs birthday. ‘My thoughts on a page,’ is seven years old. As it is barely visited by me these days, I thought I’d call over and say hello. … More Happy Birthday to me.
Men!
November 1, 2019
So, it’s been way too long since we chatted. Now that I’m not writing my column in the Examiner, I seem to never get the chance to go online to blog. You’ll be pleased to know I am working away on my memoir and it’s going ok. I’ll post our October diaries in the next … More Men!
Dyslexia… it’s not as bad as it sounds.
May 30, 2019
Do you have dyslexia? Do you worry your child might? Well this post contains the homework of one of my two children who have dyslexia. It is from a number of years ago when my little one was ten years old. It was a time of uncertainty in my world, when I wondered how they … More Dyslexia… it’s not as bad as it sounds.
Happy Mother’s Day American Mammies. (And to my own lovely Irish Mum too)
May 12, 2019
I believe it’s Mother’s Day in the United States today, so I thought there’s the perfect excuse to mention yet again my mum. However, rather than a maudlin post, telling you all how much I miss her and leaving everyone depressed, I thought I’d share one I wrote for and about my mum a few … More Happy Mother’s Day American Mammies.

My column from last weeks Irish Examiner. I’m not exactly Marie Kondo. Last week I pressed ‘send’ to an email, before immediately regretting it as I walked into my kitchen. I’d just arranged a meeting with someone who’d never been to my house and my messy kitchen didn’t strike me as visitor friendly. With twenty-four … More There I am in the paper #83

Here is my latest column in the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood where I share some incredible parenting insights… Not! Recently, something happened which stopped me in my tracks. It made me question my thinking as a mother and caused me to wonder what sort of mother had I become? Over twenty-five years ago I had my … More There I am in the paper #82

Here is my day after Valentine’s Day column from the Irish Examiner. How was it for you? Welcome to February 15th, a day where couples everywhere are either madly in love after a romantic Valentine’s Day yesterday, or in serious trouble after one or other got it very wrong. My sympathies if you are in the … More There I am in the paper #81

Here you go, another of my columns in The Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. They say people often resemble their pet dogs. Well, I think I’m beginning to resemble my phone, ancient, slow and running out of memory. I suspect there are two gentlemen in a service station on the Cork to Dublin road who might agree. … More There I am in the paper #80
