Links of London
A couple of weeks ago now, my good friend Yvonne and I legged it away for a girly weekend in London. I didn't take too many pics, but I'm going to share a couple here, along with some links to the pretty, fun, and tasty places

My sister
Hideous, isn't she? Kelly, my younger sister, is possibly the most photogenic person I know. We're pretty different - when playing Disney dress-up, she was always someone glamorous like Jasmine, while my favourite character was the decidedly nerdier Belle - but we're still very

Fun without sun
The weather was pretty pants this weekend, which gave Ethan and I a chance to try the new art supplies I got him for his birthday. Most of these are from Stubby Pencil Studio, a lovely little online shop selling eco-friendly art products for kids.

Oh hai new blog design....
Hello, and welcome to my redesigned blog. Do you like the look of it? It's all thanks to the hard work of Sandra Horan and Gav Reilly. A massive thank you to them for their talent and patience. I tweaked the main site, using Showit, so that we&

Le Weekend
Things I learned this weekend: 1. Oxegen is always, always going to be wet and muddy, no matter what. But Republic of Loose have some great new songs and Jay Z knows how to get the crowd going in the lashing rain. Glad I popped into Punchestown, even if it

Two years ago today
I can't believe it's been two whole years since he was born, and at the same time I can't imagine ever being without him. Happy birthday Ethan, from your super doting aunt.

Chowing down on Chorizo
I love chorizo. It's almost verging on being a problem. I could eat it every day for a week and not get sick of it. I'm even in the process of making a little chorizo cookbook (using Blurb) to keep track of my fave recipes, and

Sunshine and stripes
A few shots of Ethan from last weekend's wander through the Iveagh Gardens. Something about his cute red, white and blue t-shirt have me the idea for some vintage Americana style processing. He's becoming a proper little man with a proper little 'tude to match

Pretty in purple (and pink)
What is it with flowers reminding me of exam time? As soon as I spied these tulips in my sister's garden, Sylvia Plath's heart-breaking poem came to mind. Granted, these aren't red, but still. Photographing tulips is both fun and frustrating. They are just

Scary cherry blossoms
As pretty and fresh and cherry blossoms are, they always strike a teensy bit of fear into my heart. And I'm sure many former and current UCD students feel the same. Why so, you ask? Cherry blossoms, in UCD land, mean one thing: looming exams. Seeing those pretty,

Too many to choose from
Apologies for the overload of Ethan images this week on the blog! In order to get it out of my system, I've made a wee slideshow of shots from our Phoenix Park trip. If you haven't already OD-ed on toddler cuteness, feel free to indulge here.
