Let me preface this blog post by saying that my mother-in-law is a much-loved and hugely respected member of our family. Not only did she accept me like one of her own when I first starting dating her son, after getting engaged she was the first person after my own mum who I wanted to tell. And while I respect her in innumerable ways and felt genuine delight when I learned she'd be moving a...

I have two girls in primary school, work as a Councillor and am also running in the General Election for Fine Gael, so my days, like most parents, are very busy. The extension of the free preschool programme, starting this September, means that parents can now benefit from two years of preschool education. It is estimated that this will increase the number of children receiving free pre-school to...

OK, so maybe the title is a little OTT, but while in the grips of PMS, I'd be lying if I said the thought hasn't flash through my head more than once in the course of married life. While undeniably thoughtful and considerate, the man I married is also incredibly slap-dash when it comes to a number of things in the life we share with our four children. And while I try to keep my patience...

The headline reads: “Kim Kardashian loses 30lbs of baby weight in 6 weeks”. A picture of the ever-glamourous Kim followed, looking svelte, polished and poised to perfection. My first reaction, like so many others, was: “Wow…how did she do it?”, followed by me drooling over every inch of the photo of her and “that” derriere. But then I read the headline again: “6 weeks”. SIX...

Working mother guilt was a new phenomenon to me when I returned to work after my maternity leave with Noah . I was not sure if I was doing the right thing returning to work and felt that as a mother I should be the one raising my child , playing games with him and teaching him new words . I experienced guilt on a level that I never knew existed . I felt inadequate as a mother , an employee and a...

There are so many options when it comes to travel systems for new babies, but yet how do we decide which ultimately is the correct choice? We can't ask which one they (the babies) prefer because wow that would make life so much simplier. Unfortunately parents are left with the hard decision of picking out the "perfect one". I am refering to "perfect one" because with so many choices and variations...

When you first have a baby you are so wrapped up in a beautiful fuzzy bubble and consumed by the tiny human that you just created that you do not even think of the person you used to be . Your days are swept up in a haze of bottle washing , feeding , cleaning and if your lucky, sleeping ;) The last thing on your mind is your appearance or social life . In fact , the thoughts of squishing yourself...

I'll be the first to admit that there are many, many things in this life which cause me untold stress; health worries, mortgage repayments and my inability to tell left from right when navigating for my husband, but these pale in comparison to some other things which make my blood boil. Every day I am confronted with numerous things which rub me up the wrong way, and even though I know my...

I thought I had already lived through some of the worst things that could ever happen, but in March 2008 I was proved wrong. That year my first born, 9lb bundle of pure joy, Ethan, was diagnosed with Hunter Syndrome. I was sat with my (now) husband D in a doctor's office, when the doctor apologised for not "picking it up sooner" before saying: "It is so rare, it’s unlikely we will ever...

I recently went for what is now known amongst my family members as Mum's Monthly MOT. This activity involves getting my nails done, having my eyebrows tended to and treating myself to a quick trim. It may seem extravagant, but as I vowed not to spend a single dime on clothes until I slimmed back down to my pre-baby weight (It's been sixteen years, so I'm thinking any day now) I feel...
