So you can stack the dishwasher with one hand whilst juggling hot pans with the other; find the best value nappies in the county and have sale-shopped so smartly you can clothe the child until they hit college. Phew! Being a mum calls for five-star efficiency, so here are a few corner-cutting beauty hacks to […]

There is no denying that some of the kids’ toys are loud, messy, and just down-right annoying. And then there are the gems that we (to be frank) just REALLY want to play with too… Suffice to say that Lego tape falls into this latter category. Although it’s not (or at least not yet) an […]

Some of it is pretty obvious: don’t drink alcohol; don’t smoke; don’t munch on sashimi or tuck into blue cheese. Then other dietary advice for pregnant women is vaguer: for example, what about caffeine? Well, a straightforward solution is – of course – to chat to your GP. However, in addition, here are seven lesser-known […]

Look, there is no doubt whatsoever that an iPad, phone, TV, or laptop is a saving grace in parental times of need. Because a round of Peppa Pig or Ben And Holly is a fantastic distraction that then allows you to actually get sh** done. In short, when it comes to shoving an electronic device into […]

Deciding on a city-break that you AND the kids will love isn’t always easy – but may we now present for your consideration, Rome. Because for us, it certainly ticks a whole load of family-friendly boxes. Firstly, the flight is a reasonable time – two and half hours from Dublin and three from Cork – […]

Once you know your baby is on the way, it can be so easy to get pulled into the deluge of preparations and ‘stuff to do’ in advance of your little one’s arrival. But what about you? If you’re a working mama-to-be (and most are) you are spending the vast majority of your week going […]

As every BF’ing mama will attest, breastmilk is worth its weight in gold. Indeed, while there’s no use crying over spilled milk – spilled breastmilk is a WHOLE other matter. So we want to savour. Every. Last. Drop. Still, most nursing mothers will get to time and place when they want to enjoy a few glasses […]

It’s often said that babies will make or break your relationship. However, there is another status that isn’t really spoken of – that of simmering resentment. Indeed, some women will quietly admit that in the months and even years following the birth of their children, they hated their spouses. Look, there’s no doubt that modern […]

If you have a family pet – well done! That’s because bringing up children alongside an animal has a host of benefits. And the best animal to have is… a dog. Yes, kids who live with canines are exposed to more dirt and bacteria, which in turn results in stronger immune system, lower incidence of […]

I have a confession to make. I was one of those women who was devastated (yup – dramatic, I know) when I discovered I was pregnant with a baby boy. I acknowledge it’s a horrible thing to say. After all, the pregnancy was healthy, the baby was healthy AND I already had a gorgeous, healthy […]

We’re confident that we’re only LOADS of craic. Indeed, we’ve been know to take a few rounds of Jagerbombs of a Saturday night. But it’s also confession time: heading to a forgotten Midlands town for a ‘mad’ hen weekend is overwhelming, expensive, and frankly no longer our cup of tea (if it ever was in the […]

It’s an amazingly exciting time (not to mention a bit scary!). But once you and your partner have gotten to grips with your pregnancy – then you have to decide WHEN to tell your family and friend the good news. Tradition was to wait until the 12-week mark – but these days loads of women […]

“It should all be so simple,” sang Lauryn Hill on 1998’s Ex Factor, “but you’d rather make it hard”. And (throwback tunes aside) the same can very much be said of toddlers and their introductions to newborn baby siblings. Look, some two- and three-year olds take the household’s latest bundle of joy with ease. They […]
