Remember our little trip to the Bray seaside? Well, obviously there’s only one thing to wear and that’s a little Breton Stripe. Alex joined me in the navy stripe fest, while Nate wore something from...

You know what I like best? Honey…and oranges. Nate has been really descriptive in his conversations lately and he has started to have actual opinions about things. Normally if you ask him what his...

A couple of weekends ago, we went to Africa Day at Farmleigh House. This was our first time to attend and we’ll hopefully be going every year. It was one of those days that looked like it would pour...

Nate is the ladybug wisperer (or ladybird depending on who’s talking). They just appear out of nowhere when he’s outside (one even showed up on the bus window) This little guy let Nate hold him for a...

It has been way too long since I posted a DIY! Here’s a cute project that I made for the boy’s room. I wanted something big to fill the space above their height chart and wanted to put their names up....

This recipe comes courtesy of Mr Dare, who one morning decided to make muffins only to find we had no eggs! We did have plenty of apples, bananas, raisins and cider. Doesn’t your cupboard have a...
