After three weeks, they have settled into “big” school. A few tears on day one from Connie while Sonny stomped in like Sergeant Major. I knew he would love it and mix in without a hitch but my daughter was the opposite. Every morning I […]
With the Summer quickly fading, I notice the dark nights creeping back in and I’m looking forward to getting back into some kind of routine in September. I have realised over our Indian Summer how much I miss this type of weather. After living away […]
I have been kept busy with Summer activities for the kids, in other words keeping the kids happy. Summer camps can be expensive, especially when you have more than one child. But, as Ireland has had a Summer this year, a very good one, its […]
So, what exactly is sweet about being 16? I have a son who has just turned this difficult, transforming age. I don’t think he has spoke a full sentence in about three years. I have got used to the grunts and the glares and have […]

I am very lucky to live beside the seaside. A stone’s throw away and I can be in the picturesque Wicklow or less than a stone’s throw away in my local town Dun Laoghaire. When the sun is out you couldn’t pick a better place […]
