Parenting can be a rocky road, and trying to navigate it alone is not a good idea. Blarneymum is a blog born from the idea of avoiding the isolation that can come with being a stay at home mother, and it has gone from strength to strength – engaging with parents all over Ireland.

I have always enjoyed writing as a personal hobby, and Blarneymum has allowed  me to pursue this. Some of the work that I have written has been featured by HerFamily.ie, Mummypages and WoW magazine. I love to share the daily antics of my life as a mother of two children – tips, tricks, rants and tears, but mostly laughter. As an Autism mammy, I am proud to raise awareness of people who are affected by this disorder and I try to show a real view of what life on the Autism Spectrum can be like.

Knowing that people read something I write and connect with it can be so rewarding. Reading peoples comments and seeing them share their stories is what keeps me motivated. I hope you will join me on my journey through motherhood and continue to enjoy my work.
