Galway tacos, home re-jigging and a new reading habit.
Camping with kids, a new TV obsession and a genius way to create a minimalist phone experience 🏕️ We spent a glorious few days with friends camping in Clifden at this lovely campsite. Our first, but likely not out last. 📺 Currently hooked on Mr & Mrs Smith. Slick, funny and fun.

Ada started solids this weekend. We kicked things off with a Green Earth Organics order, and she so far has tried broccoli, black beans and avocado. Shout out too to the very handy Solid Starts website and app, which is filled with useful info and visual ‘how to serve’ guides.
