Day one

I hope the New Year is going well for you, mine can only get better!  I’m determined to keep on top of the housework this year (again) and as I sit here, Chef has gone off to his brothers for the afternoon with the four children, leaving me to get things done. I’ve a mountain [...]

Happy Birthday Spud!

     

Wordless Wednesday

More WW’s here

Monday……

                   The party was a success, even though I cancelled the Bouncy Castle, the girls had fun and the weather was lovely. She was singing this last night. She’d been called up to sing it on the school radio on the morning of her birthday. I thought I’d find it on Youtube. Spending her birthday [...]

The Curragh Races and a dog!

 The Curragh Races was great fun for the children, as always. They spent an hour in the playground, had their faces painted, even Spud had shamrock painted on his cheek. They went on the bouncy castles and had cornettos. We also had lunch in the Champagne Bar! Posh, eh! I had a Caesar Salad and [...]

While you are waiting…

  ……..for my daily post, I thought I’d link you up to a few blogs I’ve been reading. Firstly, this is a great idea for a post.  Throw them out!    Antique Mommy always has a funny story to tell! I’ve recently added Its a Schmitty Life. I read it every day now. I think this [...]

Taking it easy

               Enough of all that organising! Having a rest today, I’ll  be here for a while surfing and blog-hopping until the children ask , “What are we doing today?” (Must put parcel tape over their mouths!)   I would have loved to have gone away this weekend, but hubby only has Sunday off. Who would [...]

Bear with me!

 I’ll be trying a few themes and layouts over the next few weeks, until I find one I want to stick with for a while. So until that time, please be patient with me!  My plan to do an hour of ironing yesterday, turned out to be two hours! I’ll still do more today though. It’s [...]

Clearing up…

   I came down this morning to a kitchen of horror! I usually clear up before bedtime to make sure this doesn’t happen. So, that’s what I’m doing at the moment. Rummaging through cans, bottles and half eaten vol-au-vents.  The party went well and the food was good. The trifle went down a treat, although [...]

We’re cookin’ on gas!

  We’re here in the kitchen cooking some of the party food for tomorrow night’s party. No.1 is cleaning mushrooms for the vol-au-vent filling and No.2 is looking for an apron then she will be chopping mushrooms. The vol-au-vents are rising nicely and my 2yr old son is pre-occupied with a life-size Bob the Builder [...]
