The sky is a colour usually seen only in holiday brochures, topless lads are turning pink, and sales of 99s are flying. Yes, it is exam season. The weather has obliged us by putting on a magnificent display, just as those who should be enjoying it most are stuck inside panicking over past exam questions. Well, I suppose some of them are. We have the Junior Cert this year. I almost said “only...

A lot has been happening in our little corner of the world recently. We’ve had birthday celebrations, primary school acceptances and transitions from cot to bed. It’s all systems go, really. But to be fair, when isn’t it? To start with, I (for the first time) had to organise and arrange a ‘proper’ kids' birthday party – you know, the kind that involves booking a soft play area...

Parenthood teaches us to experience multiple opposing emotions on a daily basis at dangerously high levels. Take fear; f ear comes into its own once you become a parent. Who else wakes up seven times an hour to check on the breathing of a perfectly healthy human other than a new parent? Who else can spend an hour in intense conversation on the terror of choking hazards, on the danger of the...

As many experienced mums will agree, the term "baby weight" can be as misleading as the term morning sickness. Just as morning sickness can plague a pregnant woman at all hours of the day, baby weight tends to hang on to Mum long after the baby's evolved to a toddler, preschooler, and beyond. And there's a reason for that: 1. You’re doing the wrong workout Any tired, new mum is lucky...

We decided to head to Rosslare Strand for a couple of nights last weekend, to start the school holidays on a good foot. We had hummed and hawed about taking the car, but (after arguing about who would drive and who would try to keep the kids entertained) we decided to book the train on Iarnród Éireann instead, and we’re very glad we did! We would normally hop in the car to take the two hour...

Being a mother has never been easy; parents have always had to worry about things like keeping their children fed, healthy, and educated. What I didn’t think they had to concern themselves with (until now) were the implications of showing affection to their sons and daughters. In fact, thinking back on my own childhood, showing affection was not something parents gave much attention to at all...

On one of the many beautiful blue sky days recently, I stood on our local beach with the four-year-old, surrounded by tourists and locals picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, paddling. It was an idyllic scene; beach umbrellas, toddlers coated in sun lotion and sand, skinny-legged kids jumping over the waves, the knowledge that lifeguards were watching over everyone and that, just beyond the sand...

So it’s about to begin. Again. Not sure how I feel about it this time around. It’s that time that most parents simultaneously dread and anticipate with a little excitement. Is it that first night away as a couple? No. Is it the toddler sleeping all night? Nope (although that would be extremely welcome!) It’s actually those two little words: potty training. But of course there’s a twist...

That first week you get home with your new baby is exciting but daunting. You really are learning as you go and the main points to remember are as long as you feed the baby, change the nappy regularly and keep them warm then you are doing ok. That may sound very straightforward but if you are the mum who is tired, sore and dealing with hormones on overdrive then it's handy to have a few tips to...

Like so many other women that I know, I had a career before I was a mum. A career that I was thriving in. I had the five-year plan: where I wanted to go, what I wanted to achieve, and what I expected to be earning. Yes, kids were always part of this plan, but I thought they would fit in nicely with my career plans. But then I had my first child. I thoroughly enjoyed maternity leave with my first...
