Push Presents – Just how popular are they?

My husband and I aren’t the kind of couple that shower each other with gifts for no reason. We’re the special occasions kind of couple – birthday’s, Christmas, Fathers Day and Mothers Day, that sort of thing. I would class giving birth, a special occasion too though! I had experienced quite a difficult pregnancy and as most of us know, giving […]

Boots New Store Opening in Wexford

I was delighted to be invited to the new location Boots store on South Main St. Wexford last December. The excitement was in the air when I arrived, as the staff were eager to open their doors to the queue of people outside waiting to browse around this brand spanking new store! I’m always on the […]

My Christmas Gift Guide from Shops in New Ross.

I love shopping and I love my little town of New Ross, so I figured compiling a list of gorgeous gifts from independent retailers was a good idea (if I do say so myself) 😉 We’re all quick to buy online and travel afar to shop but I love browsing around and having a look at what’s […]

Review – Forest Friend Lottie Doll

Olivia and I were thrilled to have received a Lottie Doll & Biscuits the Beagle dog to review over the Summer. She was grinning from ear to ear when a package arrived in the post that was just for her and when she saw her new Forest Friend Lottie and Biscuits the Beagle dog in real life, she couldn’t wait to start playing […]

Diamond Microdermabrasion Facial Review

I’ve openly expressed in previous posts that I don’t have the most enviable skin. Saying that, it has improved immensely in the last six or seven years and that’s down to the fact my acne has completely cleared up and I’ve been using great skincare products since then. During times of stress I still get the occasional breakout […]

Hayfever & Pregnancy

I have suffered badly with hayfever since I was a child. Beautiful Summer day’s have sometimes been ruined when I’m outdoors because my hayfever gets so bad. Itchy nose, blocked nose, itchy eyes, puffy eyes, sneezing, constant nose wiping, it’s a bloody nuisance. I envy anyone that doesn’t suffer with it. Antihistamines were the main thing that helped […]

Note to self.

I had this lovely idea recently that I would bring Olivia to my 28 week antenatal appointment. Her dad couldn’t get off work for it so it was the perfect opportunity to have a mummy/daughter afternoon and include her in even more of this pregnancy. She’s a typical girl – sweet and maternal and extremely […]

My Hyperemesis Gravidarum Update

I didn’t know when I would be sitting down writing this post. Just a few weeks ago I couldn’t see and end to how miserable I was feeling. I would cry easily just out of pure frustration. There was a bad aura in our house because of it all and my husband was feeling crappy […]

Pregnancy announcement & Hyperemesis Gravidarum

I’m delighted to announce that I am pregnant with our second child. Olivia is thrilled to be becoming a Big Sister as you can see by the photo. But to be honest up until now, there hadn’t been much excitement as I’ve been suffering with the devil of all morning sickness – Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Surprisingly […]

The Kid Is Alright.

Olivia is in her twelfth week of play-school, twelfth! I don’t know where those twelve weeks have gone, but as the saying goes “time flies when you’re having fun”! And my God is she having fun. Play-school has never been a daunting thought or experience for Olivia since we first mentioned those words at the beginning of Summer. […]
