The 3 euro floor!
So we were planning on a nice cheap lino floor for the little fella’s room. Lets face it he is probably just going to paint it or colour it in at some stage. So why do I have a picture of a lovely new laminate wood flooring that is clearly in his room, I am [...]
Ruairi’s new wardrobe
Ruairi is now almost 2 years old and he requires a little bit more storage than a baby. So we decided to make a built in waredrobe. Dad and Graeme came over to give me a hand, the latter thinking it was a simple IKEA self assembly we were putting up. I had purchased all [...]
Our Halloween Fun
It was our first real Halloween with Ruairi this year. Last year he was in a little Pumpkin outfit and had absolutely no idea what was going on. This year we attempted to put him into a spider costume but that ended in tears. So he joined his Daddy as a gangster (see below). Daddy [...]

Apples and Oranges
On our recent trip to Leitrim Ruairi discovered oranges and more importantly that they roll. As with everything however it does end up in the mouth at some stage. I find this journey of discovery so extraordinary. I think it is this that parents are trying to get across when they describe how wonderful it [...]
All thanks to our SUV
We were heading back from Cork, having had a brilliant weekend (see previous post). We had to stop off in Mountmellick on our way back to collect Ruairi as he was staying with his grandparents. As we came into town past the hospital the car lost grip on a bend. The back of the jeep [...]
