Today my brother wrote me a letter. He did so because he had read a hate filled post online, related to the upcoming gay marriage referendum. For awhile he was upset and mad, before realising that was not the person he was. Instead he put pen to paper in a piece he titled ‘This is … More This is my life.
Yes it’s been a long time coming, having been to two previous blog awards only to come home with my hands hanging, but at last my genius has been recognised. On Saturday night I won ‘Best writer’ and ‘Best Personal Blog’ at the first Irish Parenting Blog Awards. I must admit I had no clue … More Drum roll…I am a winner!
I made it. I’m a finalist in four categories in the Irish Parenting Bloggers awards. I’ll fill you in better tomorrow (when I put down my glass) but I really wanted to let you all know asap, especially all of those of you who took the time to nominate me, I’m beyond thrilled, and if … More I’m a Finalist!
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
Help. I can’t write. I can blog, but I can’t write. I can sit here on ‘my thoughts on a page’, and many possible posts come into my head. 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?
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’.
I promised you one of my stories. Well here you are. This was written in response to a prompt in a writing group I am part of on facebook called Imagine, Write, Inspire. The prompt was a true story… Every year on the same day, a bunch of 6 red roses has been delivered anonymously … More Red Letter Day.
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.
Yesterday I asked your help in deciding which of three posts I should enter for the Irish Parenting Blog, Best Post Award. I cannot believe how many read my posts and voted.
