I cannot believe it, yesterday my blog was three years old. It feels like only yesterday that I wrote that first post. I honestly thought that the internet was enormous and there was no hope of anyone stumbling upon it. I hovered over publish and was hugely elated when I eventually posted it. A short … More Happy Blogday to me
Last week a good friend of mine lost a good friend. He was a relatively young man who cancer stole away. Away from his relatively new wife and a future many of us think, mistakenly, is guaranteed. I didn’t know my friend’s friend, but I saw the sadness in his face as he told me … More Why I light a candle.
Just a quick post tonight, but it’s a real treat. Please listen to this. It’s a beautiful song written and performed by Jess. The song is called Christmas’79. It is songwriting and singing at it’s best. Why you may wonder am I asking you to watch a random singer/songwriter? Well I’m not. This is Jess, … More Love everlasting

Like last year I’ve joined a blogging buddies linky called ’15 from 15′, (We’re fierce imaginative in Ireland). My blog buddy blogs at ‘where wishes come from’ … More The year that was…15 from 15.
I sometimes forget that not everyone who reads this, celebrates Christmas like we do here in Ireland. So I’ll give you a brief insight into my day and I’d love an insight into yours. Feel free to comment or to share a link to your Christmas post in the comments. I’d love to read them. … More Welcome to my Christmas.
Do you believe in miracles? Neither did I but then one Christmas two years ago this happened. It was the first Christmas after my friends young boy lost his fight against leukemia. I can tell you, that unlike some of the slightly exaggerated tales I tell here of my everyday life, this is a true story, … More Believe it or not?

NOW that it’s Toy Show Day I can officially talk about Christmas! While Christmas is the season of presents, selection boxes for breakfast, the Toy Show and an overdose of turkey, it’s also a time of year when many of us like to make a charitable donation.…
As parents we invest a lot of time and energy into rearing our children and most of them, over time, will thankfully grow up into fully functioning, ‘normal’, human beings.
