Today I stopped time, and paused it for a moment, as I watched my youngest child walk up the aisle, with the eldest of our clan. My Mum. It was her confirmation, and regardless of my beliefs, my daughters special day. As she neared the altar, my mum placed a hand on her right shoulder, … More One moment in time.
I have been writing this blog for a little over two years. In that time I have spent a part of every day thinking of a post, writing a post or wishing I was writing a post. There are days when I wish I could stop my life, ditch my family and all responsibilities, so … More Blogging is a two way street.
I took part in a writing challenge during the week, to write 200 words on ‘Home’. I adapted an old post about not asking for help, and this is what I came up with. Home. As a child I lived in a happy home, five children, loving parents and a dog. Life was all it … More Home

I’ve heard of writers block but here on my blog I’ve no experience of it at all. Writing here is something I really enjoy, and look … More Is this what writers block feels like?
Some of you may remember me writing how I gave my children a special gift when they were born. Not your ordinary shop bought gift but a special one from the heart, a gift I assure you they have never appreciated, but I still love. What did I give them? I gave them a song. … More Where have you gone my little one?
As I’m exhausted I thought writing something mildly amusing would help. This is a true story which happened quite some time ago. I was a student nurse who had recently returned from a holiday abroad and was wildly in love. The object of my love was living a long train journey away. So one Friday … More Dublin city girl meets ‘the country’.
On occasions over many years, my children have referred to friends of mine saying, “she’s a real mom”. I have never been insulted as I know exactly what they mean. However today I opened that poxy internet glimpse into peoples lives that is facebook, and I saw this from my online friends. Firstly Life on … More What sort of a mother am I?
Maybe it’s an Irish thing I’m not sure, but I find it hard to ask you to take the time to nominate me in the Irish Parenting Blog Awards. They are on in April and the nominations will be accepted up to the end of March. There are only eight more days left so here … More A begging post.
