We recently received the Fisher Price Smart Stages car for review. The Smart Stages range is comprised of the Smart Stages Chair, the Puppy’s Smart Train and the Smart Stages Car. The blurb tells us that the Smart Stages products are a ” brand new and innovative way for toddlers to…
Ciarán (6) is very curious about learning Irish and is fascinated by the Irish words for objects. Our holiday in Clifden this year exposed him to a lot of everyday Irish and tested his parents’ vocabulary to its (smaller than we thought) limit. There’s all these new words that…
This month has flown, the school routines are firmly in place and the knees are already out of the school tracksuits. I find that the kids (and the parents) find September very busy between back to school and birthday parties we’re on the go constantly. That’s why I’ve let the…
I wouldn’t call myself the world’s biggest fan of musicals yet I always do enjoy them when someone else makes me watch! The boys love singing along to anything and the tunes seem to stay with them for weeks, especially anything “poppy”. As you’d expect Netflix has lots of musicals…
I didn’t intend to write a review of the house we rented for our holidays in Clifden, but it impressed us so much I really wanted to share. Canon’s Lane is a small crescent development overlooking a small green, a 5 minute walk from the centre of Clifden. The house…

I was delighted to be asked to review a new cookbook by one of the first food bloggers that I got to know on twitter, Caitriona Redmond who blogs at www.wholesomeireland.com. Caitriona has just published her first cookbook “Wholesome- Feed your Family Well for Less” and is now regularly…
I’ve followed Sinead Crowley on twitter for a while, she’s the Arts and Media Correspondent for RTE, but she’s also the mother of two small boys which is what we have in common. She admits that she’s an internet addict, which again I can relate to. She’s recently published her…
