I’ll be frank, so far 2017 is not my favourite year ever. I’ve had a week off work sick, a busy midterm, a broken car, sick kids, lots of first world problems iike deciding to do some technical stuff with my blog and messing it up and needing my friend…
I moved where I live ten years ago last week. We bought a house off the plans, the cumulative result of a few pints of cider, the post-honeymoon blues, a late night email to an estate agent and a strong desire to leave Dublin. We’re country people. The kind that…
Way back in February I ran a week in dinners linky. Lovely bloggers contributed and shared their dinners. Then, I forgot to do a roundup, even though I noted my week’s dinners that week on my Notes app in my phone nearly three months ago. Sorry everyone. Dinners are pretty seasonal, but…
Another week, another week in dinners, and slowly but surely I’m upping my game I think. Writing things down means I think about them more, and we eat a more varied diet as a result. Monday Pick and Mix Pasta Easy concept, boil pasta, take anything you could conceivably eat…
Did you ever look at what you’re eating for breakfast and sort of, well shudder a little? The most important meal of the day gets so routine in the morning rush. Cereal, milk, toast. Brown bread and marmalade and a cuppa. Boring. Our house is a cereal house during the…
I’m known for being honest, for baring all and being open. I’ve shown you my make-up free face, my untidy car, vignettes of a far from picture-perfect life. Today, thanks to a linky I’m going to share the contents of my handbag. (Don’t worry, I won’t make you touch them.) I’ve two…
I went to an event recently where there was a talk about “must-have makeup”. I listened to a list of products being recommended for the school run and it was then that it truly hit home that despite wearing makeup most days, I know very little about it and rely…
I love my cookbooks, my many, many cookbooks, but let’s be honest, they are neglected. So neglected that I tried to make myself look at them and sort of review them last year but it didn’t really work (read the results HERE, in fact I don’t think I ever go…
I may not have shared a full “week in dinners” for a long time (In fact, the last time I did was August, one with a healthy twist) but I have been eating, and feeding my family – and sharing lots of meals on my Instagram feed. There are weeks…
Picnics are fun, it’s in the name. PIC-NIC. It even sounds fun just saying the word. As owners of children who are ALWAYS hungry we very rarely leave the house without sandwiches and to be hilarously funny the kids start asking for the “car picnic” ten minutes after we’ve left…
