Yes, it’s back. Anyone who has read my blog in the past might be familiar with the ‘emergency banana’. When my eldest was little it was always a mainstay of the baby bag; there to hand should a cranky fit begin to develop; there in case a little tummy began to rumble, and just generally there to make me feel safe. Because as long as the emergency banana was there, everything would be okay...

Surely when Son No. 2 is 21 and about to embark on his final year in college, my tribulations with himself are over. He’s now an independent adult, isn’t he? Well, that’s what I’d thought until just recently. He works on the weekends and during the holidays and provides for himself now in every respect. But then the L plate went up in my wee Polo. Oh dear, I had no idea what lay ahead and...

Ok, I’ve said it. I’ve had enough with the selfies and belfies (that’s a breastfeeding selfie to us mere mortals) and since when did everyone become obsessed with taking photos of their post-baby bodies? It is now officially a ‘thing.’ Even on Instagram, there are over 100,000 images with the hashtag #postbaby showing mums in various stages of undress with enviably flat tummies. So what...

I have done well, I think, at choosing my friends. I don't have many of them, but for the most part they are sainted, kindly folk; generous with their time, attention and resources and if there's a heaven above us, they are assured of a place there. It's just a shame that I've started to suspect that many of them are big fat liars. Nowhere is the smell of flaming pants more...

I’d like to think that we’re good at bringing our kids to ‘cultural’ stuff. We often drag them along to museums and galleries, and we set a good example by going to local theatre and concerts on a fairly regular basis ourselves. But if anyone else asks me if I am planning to go to Electric Picnic with the kids… Seriously? No. Do I look like I am on day-release from the nearest mental...

Starting school is such a big deal. This is the place where your child will be spending considerable time for the next 12 to 13 years, and beyond; the place that will form parts of their personality; the place that partly shapes their world view and where they will create lasting memories and friends. It’s a big, big deal and I don’t think I was fully prepared for it. My first hurdle was...

So life is already rather busy since these little babies arrived and they are not even home yet! Following my last post, Róisín got her breathing support removed much quicker than previously anticipated and she is doing great without it, as are the other two. They have moved three times since then – firstly to a different room in intensive care so they could be together in a smaller room, then...

Time and time again we, as parents, are warned about the dangers of social media and the importance of teaching our kids how to stay safe when online. However, a recent video , which MummyPages reported on, shows that no matter how often we speak to them about the dangers it doesn’t mean they are actually listening. In the video YouTuber Coby Persin worked with the parents of girls aged 12, 13...

My next door neighbour recently became a mum for the first time. Aware her husband works incredibly long hours, I’ve been trying to pop in as often as I can. Last week, she opened the door to me with a haunted look in her eyes, but still beckoned me in with her usual smile. Bouncing her son on my knee, I chatted as usual and she kept up with the conversation before suddenly glancing at the...

Hold your thumb and forefinger so that they are almost touching: that’s how close I came to grabbing my coat, wellies, and the children’s trust fund (i.e. the jar of loose change and hair bobbles on the kitchen windowsill) and walking out the front door. What I would do after my exit I had not planned, but based on my state of my mind at the time, it might very well have involved wearing a...
