I was wondering if any of my fellow bloggers would consider nominating me for one of these awards. I am not expecting to win it but it would be nice if I could make contact with some of my own countrymen and get my blog and writing out there. The details are here.http://www.blogawardsireland.com/nominations-open/ If … More Shamelessly seeking nomination for Irish blog award.
I have read many blogs that try to describe, what it is to be Irish. They write about the way we speak English, and our bad sign posting, our culture, and our personalities. I enjoy reading them. However in reality here in Ireland, we are just being ourselves, and do not really think about our … More Are we Irish a dying breed?
Two of my children have dyslexia. Both have very significant difficulties. As their mother I should be concerned, and possibly even upset. But I am not. It does not define them. In truth I often laugh loudly, at their spectacular mistakes. Whilst Dyslexia is no picnic, they both have learned to accept it, and believe … More You will always be top of the class to me.
I have had a timely reminder, from my good blogging pal Mocha, that I have lost my sense of humor! (If you have a minute check him out, he writes amazing posts). Well maybe that’s not quite what he said, but I think what he was really saying, was that my writing is a bit … More Recycling can be very expensive!
For as long as I can remember I have been a fighter. I fought with my brothers and sisters, I fought with my parents,teachers and friends. I hated rules and conformity, I did not wish to follow a leader. When I was a teenager life was hard for me, and my family never knew. What … More I am okay.
He has gone to bed, my only son. All six foot of him. As I type this I am still the mother, of three school going children. In a few short hours that will change. My son will head off to school for his final exam after which, I will be the mother of two … More Time to say Good Bye.
DJs have the perfect face for radio! Isn’t it the truth, that when you see a DJ you have listened to for years, in real life, for the first time, they are a major disappointment! Nothing at all like you imagined. Without realizing it, maybe over years, you have built up a complete picture of … More I have the perfect face for blogging!
What age did you have your first kiss? Was it love or anything but? I was reading a post recently about a first kiss. (I have tried and failed to find the blog to credit), and since then I have found myself reminiscing. I was a young eleven year old, when playing hide and seek … More Loves first kiss.
I wonder if anyone else has done this? I have dedicated a special song, to each of my four children. A different song for each one of them. This is the story of my eldest daughter, and how I chose her song. Many years ago, before I had my first child, before my husband appeared … More “I hope you have the feet of a dancer”. A wish for my daughter before she even existed.
I hate Fathers Day. Every day for over twenty years, I have missed my dad. Once a year I am supposed to forget. Forget that he missed my wedding. Forget that he never saw my children, or held them in his arms. Forget that I never got to see, his face light up with pride, … More Fathers Day. A day to forget.
