Movie Night Guacamole
I love Guacamole. I would eat guacamole every day for the rest of my life willingly without being paid (but will accept payment in avocados for those of you offering!) My mother would frequently make guacamole and tortilla chips as a snack for my sister and I growing up. So this is a lifetime addiction…

Super Quick Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
We’ve all been there. Not at all arsed to drag such arses to Aldi for the weekly torture (shop). Convincing ourselves “Ah, there’s enough in to scrape a dinner together this week” (No need for the valium…) But then inevitibly (because we’re moms, not magicians) we go to the press on a Thursday afternoon in…

Happy Halloween! Let’s celebrate gothic style.
October. My favourite month. Leaves are falling from the trees. Autumn colours joyfully dance in the amber sunshine. The temperature drops into a nice cosy wrap-around coat, and hot chocolate is a thing again. But, the pinnicle of my birthday month, the climax, the star of the show belongs to Halloween. Halloween in recent times…

7 Things I’d Rather do than Homeschool again.
We all remember lockdown the first time around. Tiger King. Tik Tok (…and I’m bored in the house bored in the house bored…) , House party. Zoom Quiz nights. No family, or friends, or hugs. Leo Varadkar was the hero du jour and Aldi became the local hotspot. Joe Wicks whipped us all into shape…

In favour of convenience, I have been reaching for “healthy snacks” rather than proper meals. A slice (or three) of pizza here and there, and (the ultimate sin..!) skipping…

Who run the world?
Women have come a long way recently in terms of our role in society and impact on the globe. From loving housewife, to playboy bunny to Mother of Dragons, women have been making an impact long before it was trendy to celebrate it. But in recognition of the women who tirelessly work for what is…

My 10 year old bottle of Champagne
Hubster and I have just celebrated our 10 year Anniversary (Thank you, thank you…) Just to be clear that’s 10 years of marriage, not anything fun… And we did celebrate. Had a lovely night away at a beautiful spa hotel without the kids. Treatments, thermal spa, dinner, drinks, the works. It all went far too…

Mum on the Run.
I’ve already sent my hubby a text informing him that I will be going for a run when he returns home from work. Now I have to go! But please don’t be mistaken, I actually love running – I just haven’t been out in a while. I will prepare an energy boosting smoothie to drink…
