We headed off on our first weekend trip as a family of 3 last weekend, leaving the bright lights of Dublin City for a few nights in Letterkenny, Donegal. Even though it’s only really a 3.5/4.5 hour long drive (in our case 4.5 hours would be more realistic taking into consideration nappy changes and feeding… Continue reading Weekend Away With Baby
Dear Pre-Baby Self, Naive little pre-baby me, you’re going to learn so much over the next few months. First up, you’re going to learn the biggest lesson of all – patience. This baby is going to test it in every way possible, starting with it’s arrival. Due dates should be renamed guess dates because that’s… Continue reading A Letter To My Pre-Baby Self
It’s been just over a week since I last posted but sometimes life just gets in the way! Between a very unsettled teething baba at night, plus a lot of family over from Scotland, the past week has run away with me and I just haven’t had the chance to sit down and get the… Continue reading Happy Half Year – 6 Month Update
Following on from my posts on our first trip to the baby cinema and first trip to the zoo, I thought I’d continue on the theme of tips for trips out, this time focusing on going swimming with baby. Dylan loves the water,be it in the bath or the pool, so swimming is something we… Continue reading Swimming With Baby
I always said I’d never give my child a dummy but that was of course before I had a baby.

I love to read, but since having Dylan I neither have the time nor concentration to get stuck into a juicy novel; it’s one of the reasons why I follow so many blogs. So I decided that every Sunday I would share the blogger love, highlighting three of my favourite blog posts I’ve read this… Continue reading Links I’m Loving
I read an article the other day where the woman had been talking about her birthing experience and how amazing the sudden rush of love was when she held her baby for the first time. It got me thinking back to when I had Dylan. Nearly six months ago now, it feels like a lifetime… Continue reading That Sudden Rush
We’ve had a great time the past few weeks starting Dylan on his weaning journey. It’s been a lot of fun so far, we’re doing a combination of puréed foods and finger food which seems to be working well for us at the moment. There hasn’t been anything he doesn’t like yet, although there was… Continue reading Our Weaning Essentials
I’ve always been emotional (typical Pisces right here) but since having Dylan I’ve noticed I’ve become so much more affected by things on the news or TV programmes. I normally can’t bring myself to read articles or watch news stories of children being mistreated or hurt in any way as I find myself getting far… Continue reading Hugging Him A Little Tighter
Something I often get asked about is where I got our floor mats from so I wanted to do a quick post with the info on where they’re from, how much they were and why I like them! Playgro PlayMat This large Playgro playmat is the one I’m asked about most. We were actually gifted… Continue reading Playmats Mats
