If there’s one phrase I can’t bear to see on online forums it’s “happy mammy = happy baby“. I can’t bear to see it because invariably it will be the concluding statement of a post about not wanting (not unable before I get flamed!) to breastfeed (so you can get your body back) or cry-it-out [...]

You drive me crazy #5 - This one’s for the buses (but it’s the cars’ fault)
I’ve been thinking about this frequently. Very frequently in fact as our “every 20 minutes” bus is regularly late. For those of you who don’t know Galway, it’s a small city centre surrounded by sprawling suburban estates and chock [...]

I was trying to think of an excuse to show off my newish (Christmas present) toddler Tettitett. Yes I know I also have a Taitasi. What can I say, I am naughty and indecisive but, in my defense, both were gifts
So, back to my excuse, I wanted to show you all my beautiful [...]

Oh I’m delighted. Look what my boob-obsessed littlepixie ate for her dinner:
Tofu, broccoli, spelt puffs, raisins & avocado, washed down with a few sips of smoothie (mango, pineapple, banana, grape & orange) and water. So full of goodness and iron, vitamin c, fat, protein, everything really! So proud
Not that it will make a [...]

I decided to be all domesticated and bake cookies to bring to the monthly La Leche League meeting tomorrow (I usually get too lazy and just buy some). Dreena Burton’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Eat Drink & Be Vegan caught my eye, and I had all the ingredients so I chose them!
They’re really yummy, they’re [...]

Tag, I’m it. Leila over at Bilingual Baby has posed the following question to me:
If you were stuck on an island, what five movies would you bring with you?
You know what, I’m stumped. I’ve been thinking all day & this is what I’ve come up with. Don’t judge me
Gone with the [...]

Frozen green beans, thawed & stir-fried in loads and loads of garlic. Then sprinkled with chili flakes. Is there a more yummier accompaniment to Friday evening pie & chips? I think not!
“More yummier” doesn’t even begin to approach the realms of proper English grammer, I hereby apologise profusely

If you haven’t a notion who Michael Palin is, have a peek at his website, but just to warn you, you may get lost in it! He’s from the Monty Python family and made his mark on the travel tv world by going Around the World in 80 Days (or 79 days and 7 hours [...]

You drive me crazy #4 - Stop parking on the footpath
What do you be thinking when you’re driving down a main road and suddenly decide you want to stop. The urge to stop is so strong you can’t possibly find a real parking space. Look at that empty foothpath. Use that. It was put there [...]
