Netflix’s latest challenge to streamteamers is to have the kids write a post, to mark Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day. I’m pretty busy watching House of Cards so I’m OK with that. Since it’s a competition all the kids wanted in on the action. The younger two did videos…
It’s great to get something to review that you really want and have had an eye on, and that was the case when Gill Books sent me a review copy of Natural Born Feeder, Roz Purcell’s cookbook. Roz is well known as a model, and started her very popular healthy…
If you’re Irish one of the defining Christmas moments is buying the Christmas Bumper Edition of the RTE Guide and checking out what’s on TV over the holidays. This year I did it earlier than usual as I was asked to share my recommendations on the Marian Finucane Show on…
Gill and MacMillan sent me two very different books to review for Christmas, the first was Irelandopedia by daughter and father team Fatti and John Burke. (More about the second later in the week). I loved this book from the moment I saw it, the graphics and illustrations are really…

When you are five years old there are certain things that are beyond hilarious. The funniest things in the whole world, guaranteed to get a giggle. In our house, once of those things is the word “knickers”, and “underpants” comes a close second. (Farts, poos and wees feature high on…
We’re a pretty normal family. I cook a lot, the kids eat loads of fruit, they drop food a lot, and spill milk on it rendering it inedible, so we always have some class of a bowl on the go for the compost bin. We’re lucky in that our compost…
A few weeks ago I received a copy of “All in the Cooking”, which has recently been reprinted by O’Brien Press and The Educational Company, for review. I loved the original, or as it happens the metric edition, when growing up. It was very well thumbed in our kitchen…
