My daughter Joan turned four at the beginning of May and like a light switch, I feel I have a different child living under my roof – one who is rapidly and all too quickly heading towards the tween years. There are glimpses of what she might be like when she reaches those years; the facial expressions she uses, the things she finds funny and the way she interacts with people. And I can’t help...

No matter what age or size you are, being active on a daily basis is so important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle! Eating healthy food will definitely help you on road to a better you, but in my experience, the ‘healthy glow’ comes from a combination of being active and eating healthy. It’s so easy to discipline yourself into a more active lifestyle, but the question is, are you dedicated...

I’m a date person. I love remembering dates for birthdays, milestones and anniversaries, and this week marked the anniversary of when I met my husband 11 years ago. I can’t help but look back on that day and cringe, while also feeling so lucky! I was off work for a couple of weeks after having a minor surgery and was spending time at my dad’s to recover. After a few days I found myself going...

Had my 20-week scan this week and it was just so amazing to see all the babies' limbs so clearly. The identical twins (Baby 1 and Baby 2) are in my lower tummy and the singleton (Baby 3) is above them so it is nice to know roughly where they are. It is strange to think the consultant at The Coombe knows what we are having, while we've decided to keep it as a surprise. She really is...

Of all the things I've learned this week, by far the least surprising is that I have a Dad Bod. This isn't surprising because a) I'm a dad and b) I occupy physical space (and therefore have a 'bod'.) But apparently Dad Bod is now a thing and it has its own Twitter hashtag and everything (#dadbod0– I just can't figure out if it's a good thing or not. For those of you...

It’s nearing the end of the school year, which means it’s time, once more, for Sports Day all around the country. For many children this is a welcome occasion and for many others it is a day they dread. Non-sports-orientated children feel the competitiveness of this day and are sometimes embarrassed by running in races and coming in last or near last. However it is also a day for all us mums...

Recently I found myself asking if my five-year-old daughter’s after-school life is getting too busy. To be honest, I’m frazzled enough as it is, trying to combine working on a small start-up along with being a mum. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a tiger mother who enrols her child in language classes and expects her to be fluent in three languages by the time she’s nine. I am so not that...

My eldest son graduated from school this week. My eldest son graduated from school this week. No, it doesn't matter how many times I write or say those words, I just cannot get my head around the fact that my first baby is about to leave his uniform balled up on the floor for the last time. His school days are behind him forever. There was a special Mass in the school on Tuesday night, and I...

I was listening to the radio the other day when one of those segments came on where an expert fields questions from parents and tells them How To Cope. I like these segments; if it’s a parenting problem I don’t have then I feel sympathetic smugness, and if they have one of my problems then I can garner a bit of advice. This time, crime and punishment of the toddler variety was discussed...

They bought milk. She is eight, he is six and last week, they bought milk! It started a few months ago. We were up at the shops and I was going to buy the paper. “Let me, Mum, please!” came the plea from the then seven-year-old. I gave her specific instructions on where to find the paper, gave her the exact change and waited inside the door of the shop while she did the necessary. She did it...
