I wasn't totally paying attention to the argument going on both next to and behind me in the car the other day; I know that AJ was insisting on something, and Mrs. M was insisting that he'd have to wait. After some back and forth AJ gave an exasperated sigh. "Fine," he said in the tone of voice I was expecting to have to wait until his teens to hear. Not ten seconds later, B, the...

We are smack bang in the middle of the summer holidays once again and true to schedule, we cannot rely upon the Irish weather to accommodate us at all! But schools and colleges are out, so let’s just enjoy. The rain can pour, the wind can howl, but routine has gone out the window. I’ll settle for that! As we approach the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend at the start of August, I can feel a...

Last week a survey came out with a figure for how much having a child is going to cost you: a six figure sum - €105,000 on average. Ouch. I never thought having a child was going to be a money saving exercise, what with all these labour laws that frown upon young ones cleaning chimneys and picking fruit, but still, a hundred grand? That’s a painful thought. Painful, but it shouldn’t come as...

Ah, the summer… From the grim reaches of November, when the days last just long enough to show you how insufferably bleak it is out there before plunging into howling darkness, July waves at you from a sunny distance. You fantasise about the smell of cut grass and warm skin, days spent outside with rosy-cheeked children laughing and splashing into the sun-kissed evenings. You count down the days...

‘Toilet’ and ‘training’ are two words that strike fear into most parents’ hearts. Luckily I have the magic solution, although it has taken me three children to discover it. The secret? Wait until they are three! Allow me to explain… The eldest was just shy of two-and-a-half-years-old when I trained her. I was in full crèche mode, I stayed calm when she had accidents and I had loads of...

We are expecting twins later this year which we wish to give for adoption. However current Irish law does not allow the babies to be adopted – the law currently allows mainly babies from unmarried single ladies to be given for adoption. This is different from under countries in Europe and worldwide including the UK where children from couples can be given for adoption. The law is currently being...

My friend asked me to join her for a yoga session recently. A dedicated yogi, she’s always on the hunt for new recruits. Politely declining, I told her I never found yoga particularly relaxing nor did I find it any way invigorating. When I exercise I like to break a sweat and when I relax I like to do it in the knowledge I can break wind with wild abandon and not find myself clenching my stomach...

When I found out I was pregnant, my first thought was: “holy crap I’m pregnant!” My second thought was: “I hope it’s a girl!” That is just me being honest. I know most pregnant couples say that they don’t care about the gender of their baby as long as they are healthy and for the most part, I would absolutely say that this true, but I also think a percentage of those couples are...

So today I am 28 weeks – hurray! I really didn't think we would get this far when I was admitted to hospital with absent flow on Baby One on 3rd July. The chances for the three little babies have increased significantly now I have reached Week 28. I had my growth scan today and Baby One is certainly a little fighter and has grown the most out of the three of them! Baby One is 2lb, Baby Two...
