I am not much of a planner, if I am totally honest. There wasn’t really much of a game plan with my husband and I about whether we would have kids - it just sort of happened. What I mean is we were very lucky in that we only had to “try” a little and I was pregnant. Like with many first pregnancies, it is very much a case of living in the here and now; the utter consuming joy, happiness...

Like so many other women that I know, I had a career before I was a mum. A career that I was thriving in. I had the five-year plan: where I wanted to go, what I wanted to achieve, and what I expected to be earning. Yes, kids were always part of this plan, but I thought they would fit in nicely with my career plans. But then I had my first child. I thoroughly enjoyed maternity leave with my first...

Walking is an ideal exercise for new mums, but it's tough to carve out a 30-minute block of time to work up a sweat when you're dealing with nursing sessions and nappy changes. If you want to lose weight or get fit, squeezing in three ten-minute walks is just as effective as heading out for a half hour; we suggests aiming for 200 minutes of exercise each week. Stick to it, and you could...

That first week you get home with your new baby is exciting but daunting. You really are learning as you go and the main points to remember are as long as you feed the baby, change the nappy regularly and keep them warm then you are doing ok. That may sound very straightforward but if you are the mum who is tired, sore and dealing with hormones on overdrive then it's handy to have a few tips to...

So it’s about to begin. Again. Not sure how I feel about it this time around. It’s that time that most parents simultaneously dread and anticipate with a little excitement. Is it that first night away as a couple? No. Is it the toddler sleeping all night? Nope (although that would be extremely welcome!) It’s actually those two little words: potty training. But of course there’s a twist...

On one of the many beautiful blue sky days recently, I stood on our local beach with the four-year-old, surrounded by tourists and locals picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, paddling. It was an idyllic scene; beach umbrellas, toddlers coated in sun lotion and sand, skinny-legged kids jumping over the waves, the knowledge that lifeguards were watching over everyone and that, just beyond the sand...

Being a mother has never been easy; parents have always had to worry about things like keeping their children fed, healthy, and educated. What I didn’t think they had to concern themselves with (until now) were the implications of showing affection to their sons and daughters. In fact, thinking back on my own childhood, showing affection was not something parents gave much attention to at all...

We decided to head to Rosslare Strand for a couple of nights last weekend, to start the school holidays on a good foot. We had hummed and hawed about taking the car, but (after arguing about who would drive and who would try to keep the kids entertained) we decided to book the train on Iarnród Éireann instead, and we’re very glad we did! We would normally hop in the car to take the two hour...
