I have written so many posts about this young boy. I have shared the long road traveled from his diagnosis of Leukemia, through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplant, and infection. So many of you have walked that road along side me. I have tried to describe, as well as I could, the character that was … More Remembering Daniel.
On Monday I was interviewed by an Irish blogger called ‘Office mum’ about motherhood, and being a stay at home mom for many years.

It is … More An interview featuring…… me.
Do you ever look at your young child and think, ‘Oh dear God what have I reared?’. Maybe they have a crazy temper, or are so bossy even you can’t ignore it? Or maybe they are a thief?

This week my kids are talking in excited tones about secret santa, Christmas present wish lists, and even Christmas dinner. No time to cry. There’s the morning rush for school, homework and housework to be done, and even a parent teacher meeting to attend. No time to cry. Meeting with friends, chatting with family, maybe … More No time.

Everyone is in good form and there is a buzz around … More What sort of swimmer would your child be?
It is nearly the dreaded week. The anniversary week. The week we try to ‘act’ normal. The week we smile, chat and live our busy lives, all the while distracted. For we who knew young Daniel, will spend most of this week living in the past. Thinking of this week last year, this day last … More This week, my friend, I wish ‘To Mother You’.
What is the greatest handmade gift you have ever received? This was yesterdays daily prompt, and one I could not let go.

Sometimes there are just too many goodbyes in life. Today, as we do every Thursday, my friend and I went calling on our pal, an elderly gentleman in his 80s, who I have written about before here. We had, as we do every Thursday, a wonderful morning of chat, and stories, shared over a cup … More Thursdays, will never be the same again.
Do you ever look at your life and think.. I want more. You know there is no reason for your dissatisfaction, and that life is indeed good, but… You want more money. You want a different job. You want to be a stay at home mother. You definitely do not want to be a stay … More I want…. more.
