I almost broke traffic lights in order to find refuge in work last week. The quicker I ensconced myself in the office, the quicker I could put family life and being a mum to the back of my mind. I love my children, I love my partner and for the most part I love being a mum, but there are some weeks where it really does all get too much for me and my small office cubicle momentarily becomes my...

I spent most of last weekend in a state of quiet disbelief before starting to question my thoughts on a particular matter. A very dear friend of mine informed me that she intended to bring her two-year-old daughter to one of the country’s many summer music festivals and, to be honest, I initially thought she was just a little out of her mind. Since I became a mum, I had a very clear stance on...

My seven-year-old son has recently learned that women get periods and, as a result of this, he has become increasingly concerned for the welfare of myself and his teenage sister. While I always assumed Alex would be respectful of girls and women, I didn’t quite anticipate this level of concern. I also didn’t expect he would familiarise himself so early with the workings of the female anatomy...

I was in Dublin recently on a working holiday and during my lunch break each day, I took a walk through the city and visited my favourite coffee haunts. I’d taken this trip to prepare a Creative Writing Summer Camp for children, so at all times my mind was focused on children and the development of the imagination. I was seeking ideas on how I could inspire young children to use their...

Pester power, according to the Collins Dictionary, is the ability possessed by a child to nag a parent relentlessly until the parent succumbs and agrees to the child’s request. Relentlessly. Until you succumb. I am certain that I would be a much better parent if it weren’t for pester power. My children would never eat sweets, drink fizzy drinks or watch the same movie twice in one day. My...

For nearly four years now I have been a stay-at-home mum (SAHM) to our two children. My eldest son will be four in July and his little sister is now 16 months. Tomorrow though could see this all change. Tomorrow I’m beginning a new journey – one to becoming a work-at-home mum! This new chapter fills me with both fear and excitement. For the last four years my focus has been our family and...

I’ve often considered my life to be divided into two parts – before my J1 and after my J1. It might seem strange to think that one summer in the United States could have had such an impact, but it did. For many reasons. I formed the most important friendships of my life that summer. The girls that I shared a tiny house with – a house where giant cinema bags of stale popcorn functioned as...

I stopped and looked – you were playing away with your Lego but you were also taking the time to match the colours. I had never noticed that you did that before. I stopped and looked – you were racing your little sister but you were letting her win. I didn’t realise just how mature a six-year-old you were. I stopped and looked – you had built your very own‘Hogwarts and were lost in a...

Summer can be long for teenagers too young to get jobs. And it can be interminable for their parents, particularly if their parents work from home. So my decision to bring the middle child out hiking once a week was inspired not only by a desire to get him away from his various screens and out in the fresh air, but also by a purely selfish need to preserve my own sanity. Now, perhaps you are one...
