Listen carefully. Can you hear the Irish nation cheering? Today we Irish are cheering one woman’s strength, and sighing in relief as a terrible injustice has been righted. A mother who has fought for her daughter with dignity and courage, has won. If you were living here it would be enough for me to say, “Lucy … More A mother in a million.
Last night it hit me like a train, my youngest is about to become a teenager. As I look at her I am struck by how much she has changed in the past year. She has grown taller than myself, and now shares the clothes belonging to her older sisters. She enjoys being alone in … More There is more to being a mother than rearing babies.
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.

My husband got a new job last year, one he loves. Yahoo, you all say isn’t that just wonderful. I thought so too, until the night I met his fellow workmates. Don’t get me wrong they were all great company and to be honest I clicked with them instantly. We chatted at length until one … More For one night only.
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.
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.
Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad (Christina Rossetti) Yes there are days and moments where everyone smiles, but there are no days when anyone forgets.
