This weeks article in The Examiner’s Feelgood supplement…and yes it’s a true story! Help! It’s that time of year when the world goes shopping mad. Sadly, in order to receive presents myself I must shop for others, including my children who demand more than a gift voucher. As I moan daily they advise me to, … More There I am in the paper #8
Today is number 2 in my five favourite posts I’ve written. It proves beyond all reasonable doubt that I am indeed the greatest mother ever. My kids are lucky to have a mother like me. Do you remember all the wonderful things your mother taught you? No I thought not, neither do I. However as … More Favourites #2 My kids are lucky to have a mother like me.
I’ve returned from two nights staying at ‘home,’ the house I grew up in, where my mum still lives and the heart of my family beats. It’s filled me, as it always does, with nostalgia for days long gone and prompted me to look up an old post I wrote three years ago. I’ve polished … More Home, where my families heart still beats
Stand back and take cover because I’m on a bit of a rant. I got up this morning and pretty soon after I stood up life began to throw a number of challenges at me. I ducked and dived, rescheduled, mopped up and re organised my day, all before 9 am. Realising I wasn’t coping … More I gave my kids a gift and they hate it.
In case you wish to read it. Here is this weeks link to my column in The Feelgood supplement in the Irish Examiner. There seems to have been a technical issue with last weeks, (my way of saying I can’t get the link!) but hopefully I’ll be able to share it with you also in … More There I am in the paper, #2.
We all have moments in our lives where we think, ‘Wow, well done me.’ My earliest one such moment was winning a paint box when I was about eight or nine years old. It was a carved wooden box with all types of wooden paint brushes inside and every shade, of every colour paint imaginable. … More My greatest achievement
It’s close to four years since Daniel last played football, a game he loved dearly, and almost three years since he passed away. In our memories he will forever be thirteen, but as we look at those who were his good friends we can imagine the boy he might be and what he would be … More The Extra Man.
Some of you may remember my writing previously about young Ben? He was a beautiful, handsome, lively six year old who became ill and passed away within the space of two weeks. Because of the bravery and selflessness of Ben’s parents who agreed to donate his organs, the lives of other children were saved. While … More A shout out and a favour to ask.
It’s been a strange week. The reality of three children leaving home at the same time is dawning. It’s not all bad I can assure you. I’m already beginning to take more than a little delight in the quietness, lack of laundry, the joy of no ‘stuff’ strewn about the hall and the amount of … More Can you describe parenting in one word?
Today I packed she who does not wish to be on my blog, and drove her to university. Another door has opened for her and closed for me. It’s hard to put into words how I feel. Of course I’m delighted for her and proud to have reached the point where I can launch her … More Farewell my ‘Little One.’
