Aunty Life
Tell me he's not seven. I became a proud aunt on a sunny July seven years ago when this guy was born. Seven years seems like such a short time, and yet it feels like he has always been here. Being seven means that sleepovers come with a

Some pics from an impromptu call in to Lotts & Co, a new grocer on the South Lotts Road. There are lots of brilliant things about living in Ringsend – a lovely park, having the Sandymount strand right there, and being super close to town. But one of the things I

Looking back, we packed a lot in this weekend. Friday, my sister and some of my Mexican cousins came over for a taco dinner – no pressure! But Ben picked up corn tortillas and nachos (plus some Horchata too) from Picado and we'd popped a pork loin in the
Travel
Fancy another trip to New York? On day two, Kathy Rose and I headed to the Brooklyn Flea, wandered around the hipster haven that is Williamsburg and popped into Mast Brothers Chocolate Makers. Some pics after the jump! Mast Brothers was created by two bearded brothers who really champion a

A little Tuesday inspiration. Gorgeous work from June Letters, the blog of San Francisco designer Jess Levitz. I got a little bit lost in the lettering section of her portfolio, and especially love this Georgia O'Keefe quote, which has been popping up all over my Pinterest feed: She

It's always a little mad come summer. I sprint around during April and May and then in June realise that wait, this is a marathon. Come July I'm ready for a very long nap. It's like some part of me is still in college

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Beautiful cover of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide by Robyn Sherwell. I heard it on the Suffragette trailer, which looks incredible (written, directed and produced by women, with a brilliant mainly female cast).

Growing up on the circus, I spent a lot of time in the circus shop, making popcorn. I'm talking hours and hours, every day. It's hard to imagine now, but when I would get bored watching the performances (what's a triple summersault when you&

How would you like a little desktop accessory that blows a bubble whenever you have a meeting? A beautiful new kind of friendship bracelet. Missing Game of Thrones? This episode of Song Exploder on the opening credit music might scratch the itch a bit. Recent reads I'd recommend:

I'm not sure it can get much cuter than this. Isabel turned two recently. She's a happy, curious fun little kid. Right now, whenever she sees me she immediately asks for Ben (who she calls "Beeeeee!"). I'm telling myself that it'

I celebrated my birthday this month. Just a few days beforehand, my mum received this incredible video of her, my father and uncles performing in their flying trapeze act. The year? 1983. She flew through the air with – as you can see around the one minute mark – a great deal
