Notebooks
Sometimes, when it’s going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationery. One Day, David Nicholls August Break, Day five.

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.

Under Construction
This wee blog is close to celebrating it's one-year blog-aversary so I thought this would be a good time to tell you that I'm in the process of making a few changes to it. Some of them cosmetic (and - I think - very lovely) and

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.

Cupcakes, cocktails and crazy toddlers
You know you've had a good weekend when there's a tupperware container of chopped carrots and cucumbers in your bag... Friday, Yvonne and I had a delightfully girly evening of home-made cocktails and home-baked cupcakes. Very Carrie Bradshaw meets Betty Draper. After a trip to see

Irish Blog Awards 2010: The Aftermath
I'm back from the Irish Blog Awards, and although I didn't win (the incredibly deserving Red Mum did), I still had an amazing night with fellow blog ladies Michelle, Pamela and Ciara. Congrats to all the winners, especially Donal, the Beaut.ie girls, Nialler9 and the

Significant scraps
A little while ago, my mum gave me the coolest gift. It was folder containing little scraps, snippets and clippings of my life. She'd been collecting them pretty much since I was born. There was a napkin from my christening party. My first passport. Notes from parent-teacher meetings.

Woot!
My borrowed SLR has returned to its owner, so I was flicking through my archives to try and find a photo that summed up how I feel right now, and these vintage wooden "woot" blocks on my bookcase were the closest I came. See, this blog is one
