On my visit to the MD Clinic in Cork, I got to see my little baby at a reassurance scan - after feeling a little let down by the public system, I am glad to say that my mind has now been put at ease!

Out like a light – getting your toddler off to sleep.
Sleep. We spend the first year of baby's life yearning for it. Routines, methods, schedules - we will try anything to arrive at the holy grail that is a baby that sleeps through the night. Google. Poor old Google is absolutely worn out from mothers inputting the words 'sleep' and 'baby'.

Funny enough, after baby number one I snapped back and was in the best shape ever. Having my wedding to motivate me helped I guess. Since I have … Continue reading Get fit not fat!
#breakthemould
I have never been good at accepting a compliment. I don't know why, but when a person says 'oh, you look well' I immediately feel awkward and usually disagree with them. I find compliments embarrassing, and that's just who I am. Maybe it's an innate lack of confidence I have always battled with. I guess … Continue reading #breakthemould

It’s just a touch of colic
My little girl turns 3 months today - that milestone that is supposed to bring sleep and a more settled baby. I have been counting down the days to this, because we had a 'colicky baby'. 4 hours screaming a night on average, nothing could settle her.
