      Christmas Cheer with Baby James…

      As appears fortnightly in VIP Magazine. I don’t know about you but what I’m looking forward to this Christmas is putting my feet up for a few days. Well I suppose as much as you can with a toddler! Life is very hectic right now trying to put my dream of the Parenting Roadshow together… Continue reading Christmas Cheer with Baby James…

      Baby James makes a break for freedom

      As appears fortnightly in VIP Magazine. James walked across the kitchen and I thought I would burst with pride. He was taking a couple of steps and falling but this was huge! He made it all the way. He was beaming and actually became quite shy. Now that’s a side I haven’t seen before. New… Continue reading Baby James makes a break for freedom

      Breast Feeding 1

      As appears monthly in VIP. Welcome to my first parenting column! I’m so excited to be able to share my experience with you all since becoming a Mum in September. I adore James and I love every minute with him, but it has been tough at times. I really wanted to breastfeed and had done… Continue reading Breast Feeding 1

      Sleep Or Lack Thereof

      As appears fortnightly in VIP Magazine. Sleep… that word seems like a distant memory. Last Saturday I slept for 6 hours straight and on Sunday I was ready for world domination. There was no stopping me. The house was cleaned, I was washed, the clothes were washed. If you stood still you would’ve been washed… Continue reading Sleep Or Lack Thereof

      Breast Feeding 2

      Breast Feeding I’m delighted to introduce Clare Boyle to all you lovely ladies who want to learn more about breastfeeding. I presumed breastfeeding would happen naturally but unfortunately I encountered a lot of problems (more in my blog). I met Clare’s sister on a cookery course. I was very interested to hear that she gave… Continue reading Breast Feeding 2

      PARENTING EXPERT LUCY WOLFE FROM SLEEPMATTERS

      We all know how sleep deprivation affects us and that’s even before we have children. It can be very difficult to function on very little sleep. They used to use sleep deprivation as a form of torture during the war. I now know why!! Children don’t come with manuals and each and every child is… Continue reading PARENTING EXPERT LUCY WOLFE FROM SLEEPMATTERS

      TEARS AND MILESTONES

      As appears fortnightly in VIP Magazine. James turned one in September and we had a great day. However as a parent I had a million different emotions flowing through me. I was so excited for this special milestone but I was also sad that my baby was turning into a toddler. Why? Well, we spend… Continue reading TEARS AND MILESTONES

      MUMS NIGHT OUT WITH MUMMYPAGES.IE, NOKIA AND MOVIES@DUNDRUM

      Mummypages teamed up with Nokia and movies@dundrum to give 155 Mums a well deserved night out. I MC’d the night and stayed for the movie myself. It was my first trip to the cinema since having James. I had a great night. The movie was so much fun and I laughed out loud throughout. I… Continue reading MUMS NIGHT OUT WITH MUMMYPAGES.IE, NOKIA AND MOVIES@DUNDRUM

      Parenting

      As appears fortnightly in VIP Magazine. A Trip to the Zoo I’ve been doing flashcards with James for a few months now. He started reacting to certain animals and I of course took this as a sure sign he was ready for The Zoo. I’d been waiting for this day since he was born to… Continue reading Parenting
