I am, as you know, a politician. But I am also a Mum. And few things are more important, politically, than how the state looks after children and parents too. You would not think that, of course, if you looked around Leinster House; t oo often it resembles a sort of gentleman’s club, a refuge, if you like, from modernity. One of the biggest objectives I had in forming RENUA was to change that. I...

My daughter, Joan, is at that age when my husband and I want to try new and interesting things. We started with a drama class last year when she had just turned four. It was every Saturday morning, while I was on air, so it was something for my husband and Joan to do together. After every class I eagerly awaited his call to see how it went. At first she was pretty reluctant to leave his side. She...

So it's happened. The dreaded return to work has come and gone. After the first hour of the first day it was like the previous nine months off never even happened, apart from the gentle reminders when people asked: "Are you back already? That flew!". And it did. I was back into the swing of work life within an hour, albeit tired and red-eyed from being up washing duvets and dealing with a...

Recently, a fellow mum took time out of her day to document the various reasons her daughter saw fit to throw a tantrum. From her brother looking at her to her mother offering the wrong breakfast, this particular journey through a little girl’s typical day offered an unrivalled insight into motherhood and family life. Like millions of other mothers, I immediately related, but perhaps...

First Ladies’ style was frequently written off as boring or dowdy, but Michelle Obama made everyone sit up and take notice from the moment she and Barack Obama hit the campaign trail. She loves color and pattern, and she isn’t afraid to mix-and-match different pieces. She is even known to wear glitter and jumpsuits. How many other First Ladies ever did that? Michelle even made us love Banana...

A close female relative of mine who shall remain nameless (upon pain of death apparently) recently reached a very exciting milestone in her life and it's fair to say she's slightly overwhelmed. Having wished valiantly to join her friends in an exclusive club they named Period Pals, this particular relative has now gained entry, and doesn't quite know what to make of it. Instead of the...

As a mum of four, there are many, many things I don't have much time for: cleaning skirting boards, matching socks and making soup from scratch to name but three. However, if there's one thing that really grinds my gears, it's when my children tell tales on each other. Yes, if one of you requires medical attention, then by all means point a finger at the perp and allow him to take his...

As any mum knows, children have an innate ability to push your buttons and test their limits, and while the vast majority of us have learned various ways to deal with this, there are times when we simply don't have the energy to tackle the issue. Recently, I was confronted with a shrieking six-year-old girl who had thrown herelf so deeply into her tantrum, it looked like she may never find a...
