This is a post perfect for today. Why? Because I went away with a group of girlfriends for one night, and we may have had a fantastic night, perhaps a little too fantastic, and I just may be feeling a little tired. I may be feeling uninspired, and I may be wondering what time would … More A to Z of me.
Sometimes the world can seem a dark place. We look around and miss all that is good and fun, we hear the harsh words and cruel jibes, but fail to notice the smiles and gentle touches of others. Sometimes we see only the rain, despite the many hours of sunshine in a day. On Sunday … More Thank you, one and all.
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.
Imagine how much of every day we hope. We hope the weather will be good, the traffic will be light, our children will grow up happy, someone will love us. Every day we fill our lives with hope.

This day 100 years ago, eighteen kilometres from the Irish coast, a German submarine sunk the luxury cruise liner the Lusitania. 1,198 drowned, 761 survived.

As we begin to celebrate their birthdays and mark their aging we wonder, ‘how can we have children that age and still feel … More To the small girl at the top of the slide
My country is about to be tested. In less than twenty days I will know if the Ireland I live in is the country I believe it to be. I will know if we live in a society of inclusion and equality, or if in fact we remain the country of ignorance and bigotry we … More Ireland, make me proud.
One of my biggest regrets in life is that my dad died before I made a life for myself. He wasn’t there to give me away ( a job brilliantly done by my younger brother), nor did he meet any of my four children. I would love for them to have known him in person, … More What if?
We all have days which don’t exactly go to plan. Sometimes they begin to go wrong very shortly after our alarms go off, or for those of you with young children, long before our alarms go off. During the day we look at the clock, as the hours pass painfully slowly, and we wonder how … More What sort of day had you today?
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!
