I didn’t breastfeed either of my children. It wasn’t because I couldn’t, it’s because I wouldn’t. There, I said it. I chose not to breastfeed because I wasn’t comfortable with the notion. I can’t exactly explain why, but I just knew that the prospect of nursing my children would have a detrimental effect on my emotional wellbeing and I didn’t want anything to taint mine or my...

Just three weeks into the summer holidays and I was already pretty exhausted ! Anyone feel the same? I sometimes feel like a holiday rep, standing in front of them after they’ve had their brekkie and announcing what we’re doing for the day in a very chirpy voice. I would consider myself to be an energenic, fun, lively mum with buckets of energy and ideas but my two children are slowly but...

So what is life like a week on from the eventful day of Thursday 23rd July? Well, Friday and Saturday were emotional days to say the least. Recovering from the speed at which we became Mum and Dad, missing my brother-in-law's wedding, recovering from a C-section, along with discomfort and moving from my beloved Monica's Ward where I felt like I was surrounded by a family of midwives. I was...

Pictures of our Living With Triplets' gorgeous newborns to follow... So after an eventful day reaching my 29 th week, I did not realise that the next day was going to be the day we had been waiting for. I woke around 5am for my heartbeat trace with the night midwife. The trace is due to take approximately 20 minutes but on this morning all the babies were playing up a bit. They kept...

I recently made the mistake of inviting my son’s friend on a family weekend away and learned in the process that I’m not quite as good with children as I thought. There’s nothing quite like spending a considerable amount of time with someone else’s child to make you thankful for your own gang, is there? Like any mum, I see my children’s flaws - and believe me, there are plenty to choose...

So, I got to 29 weeks yesterday, however it was not without its ups and downs! The previous day, one of the girls I had made good friends with on the ward ended up being sectioned with her twins, as the heartbeats kept dropping. It was a tough day for me, with my new friend of twins leaving; especially after the other two friends I had made left the day before as well. The first day of my 29 th...

My friend and I once made a pact that we’d never let disputes between our children come between us and our friendship. If her child insisted mine was hogging the TV remote, we’d simply let them battle it out between themselves before intervening only as the voice of reason, not bias. If my child insisted hers was cheating during a particularly heated game of Hide and Seek, we’d allow them to...

After I had my daughter almost seven years ago, I made the decision not to have any more children. The news was met with despair by friends and family who thought it was selfish of me and my partner to deprive Ella of a sibling and playmate, but I was steadfast in my decision. And for the most part, I don’t regret it, but every now and then I wonder if there was any truth in my family’s...

Oh dear, where’s the summer gone? Or rather, when will it show up at all? A recent week in Kerry felt more like an October mini-break than a summer holiday. Less bikinis, more fleeces. The barbeque supplied by the house-owner in a fit of misplaced optimism served as a bird bath until it was blown over in a gale. But at least staying indoors meant that we got to light the turf fire, and nothing...

Flying with young kids is stressful at the best of times and the four-hour flight to Lanzarote was our longest flight with the nippers. On top of that we were flying Ryanair, which made me even more nervous as I had sworn after my last flight while heavily pregnant with Princess Firstborn, that I would never fly with them again due to their complete lack of customer service. But in fact, we were...
