Last weekend I flew out to London for Capturing Childhood’s first photography workshop in London. I know, so jet set. The workshop happened to be a 10 minute walk from my cousin’s flat and I needed...
It’s raining as I post this, but last weekend we had sun. Let me repeat: We. Had. Sun. Alex had a blast splashing around in the water table. It was possibly the most exciting day of his entire life.
Do you remember reading your first chapter book? One where the little kid is the hero and squaring off against evil caricatures of adults. One with mild peril, mystery and a bit of magic? Remember...
So we took my new camera bag for a spin to our local park where the boys enjoyed the first really springy day around here. Sunshine, wide open spaces and sweet smelling flowers are just what we...
I just purchased my first proper camera bag – the XL Courser from Rigu – and thought I’d share what’s packed inside. I probably don’t carry around the traditional photog gear, but I’m sure a lot of...
You may have read all about our amazing trip onboard the Pirate and Princess Cruise. Now watch our little video of the day. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell that the trip was a blast and our little...
Last weekend we were guests on the Stena Line Pirate and Princess Cruise. It was amazing. There’s so much to say about our delightful day out, so bear with me while I spread this over a few posts....
Today marks the 5th World Meningitis Day, an important opportunity to remind parents of the very serious danger of meningitis. Our children are not vaccinated against all types of meningitis, so...
On Alex’s actual birthday Nate made him a cake. He is slightly obsessed with cake and loves reading my cook books. While flipping through BBC’s Good Food 100 Cakes & Bakes he found this gem. A...
Yesterday something terrible happened in my beloved Boston. Terrible things happen all the time, all across the world but it really hits you in the gut when it happens in a place you once lived. I...
I made a fun little paper ‘A’ for Alex’s birthday to keep things bright and bring a little Fiesta into the celebration. It was really easy, but definitely a job to do when little fingers are far...
In case you haven’t noticed, Alex turned 1 last week and we’re super excited. On Saturday we had a great little Go, Dog. Go! themed party. If you don’t know PD Eastman, you should check out his...
Alex’s first year has been an exciting one. He travelled to England by ferry and got to hang out in The Cotswolds while testing out his lungs screaming at us every mile of the car journey. He went...
Alex turns one today (more on that later) and I wanted to take a moment to reflect our amazing birth experience. I say our because although he won’t remember it, his birth was definitely something...
Over the long weekend we had a brilliant time checking out some of the great family friendly places around Dublin. A highlight had to be Imaginosity , the Dublin Children’s Museum. All four of us...
We had a brilliant Easter holiday and a mini-Dublin vacation including trips to the library, mini golf, Imaginosity, snow, Easter egg hunts, Temple Bar Food Market, Mount Usher Gardens and lots and...
My second week of MinCamp tasks were all activities to make mommy happy. This is definitely an area that gets neglected because I often feel guilty about taking time for myself. I know I’m not...
Today I baked my first loaf of bread. I’ve made soda bread and banana bread before, but this was my first honest to goodness real yeast-based bread. It is something that has been on my to-do list...
We love bath time at granny and granddad’s house (many because it has a bathtub). Here are some cute pics of the boys playing with bubbles in the bath. It has to be done! At home we have a...
I signed up for MinCamp last month because the timing fit perfectly with ‘officially’ starting my tenure as a Stay at Home Mom. For the past 10 months I was on maternity leave so I cut myself a...
Nate had a minor tumble down a slide last year and has been terrified of all slides since then. He wouldn’t go near them. So after a bit of coaxing and working through all the steps, and possibly...
I am blessed to be celebrating my third Mother’s Day and this year will be my first as a mother of two! For the majority of my life, I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me I’d be here....
Our original plans for World Book Day were scuppered by the rain today, so instead of going out to buy books we made them at home. (Don’t worry, I totally support the many amazing local bookshops*...
I just love this picture of Alex. I think you can get a glimpse of the man he’ll grow into and I love how blue his eyes look. I can’t believe he’s growing up so quick. Ally, you are an amazing...
You know what they say about March - in like a lion, out like a lamb - well I hope that’s true because I could really use a break from the cold (and kids getting colds). Today we made lions out of...
Have you ever wondered what’s in that pot o’gold at the end of the rainbow? Turns out, Leprechauns love to count. Nate is really into numbers lately, so what better way to celebrate St. Pats than...
The weather outside is frightful, but inside it’s so delightful…because we’re having a beach day! We’ve had enough of the cold, rainy, sometimes snowy winter so the boys and I decked out the house...
1. Fresh Apple Bunting (The Gardeners Shop); 2. Honeycomb Tissue Paper Balls (Sisters Guild); 3. Lashings of Ginger Beer (Bundaberg); 4. Vintage Babar Print (The Print Makers, Etsy); 5....
