Brought to you by SMA® Baby Club Rock-a-bye baby… Chances are, you won’t be able to get enough of your little one each day once they’re born but eventually, evening comes and the sandman calls. To ensure a deep and much-needed slumber ensues for both mum and baby, we’ve got something special to give away. As […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Congratulations, Callum Clogher! Three cheers for our very own Irish contestant and the best Cadbury chocolate flavour creator! Way back in July of last year, members of the public were asked to create their own flavour of Cadbury chocolate bar. Out of all the entries they got in, Cadbury picked […]

Brought to you by Eskimo-3 It’s started again. You’d think the school rush would get a bit easier as after the first one, or second, or even third one but, alas, the start of September seems to catch us off guard every single time. There are a million things to be done and, it turns […]

Brought to you by SMA® Baby Club Due day just around the corner? At last, it’s time to soon meet baby. During one of the most magical and miraculous experiences, things can change at a rapid pace. It’s hectic, but so beautiful all the same. To make things extra special and that bit easier, we’ve teamed […]

Brought to you by MiWadi It’s not your water bottle, it’s my water bottle! The reusable bottle trend is only getting stronger and stronger. And rightly so – it’s one of the easiest switches you can make to help the environment. We think that it’s never too early to start saving the planet. That’s why […]

Brought to you by Life Style Sports It’s that time of the year again. The time of year when we get started on all of that back-to-school shopping. Is that uniform coming up too short? Have the schoolbags finally given in after constant book lugging? Does that pencil case need refilling? Or maybe it’s just […]

Brought to you by The Heritage Council We LOVE National Heritage Week. It’s an entire week filled with so many fun and interesting events, and the best part? Loads of them are free.

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures Summer is coming to a close. It’s not quite gone yet though! There is still plenty of time to get some of those all-important activities ticked off the list. We’re sure you had your own list of must-dos for the summer but, aside from those, are there […]

Brought to you by AVEENO® Baby. It’s smoother than a baby’s bottom. We all know the phrase – it means something is as beautifully soft and unblemished as a newborn infant. Unfortunately, baby’s skin can be easily irritated. According to research conducted by the AVEENO® Baby team, 39 percent of parents in Ireland report that their children […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures We are loving this warm weather. We’ve been making the most of it, too, because goodness knows that we can’t be taking it for granted in Ireland. Of course, the kids are loving it: they’ve built dozens of sandcastles, wrapped themselves in towels after braving the Irish […]

Brought to Jervis Shopping Centre It’s hard finding kid activities to fill the whole summer. Two – sometimes three – months is a LONG time. The little ones love a bit of quality time with the parents, sure, but they are happiest when out and about and getting up to something exciting. Problem is, there are […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures The world is there to be discovered. Who better to discover it than our own little balls of curious energy? There’s nothing we love more than seeing our kids’ eyes light up when they discover something new about the world, even if it means a whole half […]

Brought to you by BabyBibs.ie Let’s face it: babies are messy. They drool, they spit, they puke, they rub food ALL over their body. Literally everywhere. Your little droolers can go through an insane number of bibs (sometimes up to seven a day!), especially when they’re just starting to eat solids. The cost of those […]

Brought to you by Arnotts Shopping has never been so fun. We may enjoy a good shopping trip (especially if it’s for ourselves – so rare) but unfortunately the same cannot be said for the kids. Arnotts has always been one of our favourite places to shop because there’s so much to it that even […]

Brought to you by Easofen for Children Strawberry Oral Suspension.  Life can be pretty miserable when your baby is sick. They understandably feel awful so it’s non-stop crying if they’re babies and a fair bit of complaining if they’re already at the talking stage. That’s fair enough though, no one likes to be sick, and […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures It’s time to get creative. It’s great when you can get some time off to take a little trip away with the family but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. More often than we’d like, life forces us to cancel plans or stops us making them at all. […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures The kids will go WILD. Camp Freddo is getting closer and closer and we’re getting more and more excited. Tickets went on sale last month but they sold out quicker than anyone could say chocolate. We weren’t surprised because any family would be mad not to want […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures Get out and get adventurous! Ireland may not be the perfect place for scorching hot summers. It’s not the country to go to if you want an entirely rain-free season. To be honest, we count ourselves lucky if we get more than one cloud-free day in all […]

Brought to you by Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps Do you have a sports fan in the house? Sport is a great hobby for kids to have. It gives them an outlet for all that energy, it helps them meet new people, and it teaches and encourages teamwork. It’s great when the kids are playing any […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures You’re never too old to try something new. Not that any of us are old or anything. Forever young and we certainly plan to stay that way. The best way to make sure that we do that is by not being afraid to try new things, especially […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures.  It’s time to get adventurous. If summer isn’t the time to try out some new and exciting activities, when is? You’ve got sun, time on your hands, and longer days all helping you out with your new adventurous endeavours. And when we say “you”, we mean it. […]

Brought to you by Cadbury Dairymilk Freddo Treasures.  Perfect family trip alert! We already thought we couldn’t wait for Camp Freddo’s return this year.

Brought to you by Caldesene.  No one likes nappy rash. Especially not your baby. They’re uncomfortable, sore, and are often made worse by new nappies rubbing against them. Just the worst really. It may seem like an inevitability, something you just have to get through. However, there are several things you can do to help […]

Brought to you by Dairylea. Summer is coming and it’s time to get out and about. When is the last time you went on an adventure with your little ones? Maybe it was last weekend, or maybe it’s been a little while. Whether you are frequent adventurers or have yet to get into the summer […]

Brought to you by Avonmore Lactose Free milk. It’s not always easy having a kid with a food intolerance. Lactose intolerance is one of the easier food-related issues to deal with and, with just a few small changes, you should hardly have to think about it. However, to help make the transition as easy as […]

Brought to you by Fairyhouse Racecourse.  The perfect after-Easter day out. Family day outs can be great fun. The whole gang together, outside, active, with everyone enjoying themselves. They’re even better when you can bring your friends though because, let’s face it, having more adults to talk to can definitely help with the sanity. The […]

Brought to you by Hedrin.  Nits are gross. Whether you have them or you’re getting rid of them, they’re the worst to deal with. There’s nothing that will give you the jitters more than one of those little buggers showing up in the nit comb. Plus, when your kids have nits that means less hugs […]

Brought to you by Cadbury.  It’s finally time to start that Easter egg Shopping. Though, being honest, most of us probably won’t even have one egg bought until Easter weekend, last-minute fools that we are. Wouldn’t it be great if we could nab a whole Cadbury Easter Egg for the little ones without that dreaded […]

Brought to you by Clear Little Noses.  We thought we were prepared. We were wrong. You’d think it would be obvious by the time we got to first cold stage that all our baby preparation had left us about one percent prepared for the real experience (and that’s being generous). Well, you know, the cold […]

Brought to you by Fairyhouse Racecourse.  There’s a little something for everyone. The Easter holidays can be great – two weeks off, time with the family, chocolate galore – but it can be hard finding something to do every day. The first week often ends up a bit of a write-off with everyone sleeping in […]

Brought to you by Organix. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. “ Virginia Woolf knew what she was talking about when she wrote that. And no doubt that that sentence is just as relevant to kids as it is to adults (if not more so). Babies and […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. Simple yet satisfying. We are on an apple craze right now. Honestly, we just can’t get enough of them. With it still being to cold for most fruits to be in season, apples are our go-to fruity snack at the moment. We love them as they are, […]

Brought to you by Cadbury. It’s time to treat the good eggs in your life. Easter is getting close and you know what that means – chocolate. But that’s not all it means. Easter is also a chance for you to give a little gift to the people you love. Sure, it may come in […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. There’s a new favourite breakfast in town. Pancakes are perfect.

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. We feel like royalty eating these.

You’re munching away and thinking, “so this is […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples.  This is actually better than a hug. Living in Ireland means we become experts in finding the comforting things in life.

Brought to you by SPAR. Kid tested, kid approved. We all know the dilemma of putting together your child’s lunchbox. You want to give them something healthy to eat but you also want to make sure that they’ll actually eat it.

This is too real. Mother-of-two, Olivyah Bowens, shared an emotional post on Instagram talking about her experience loving a child that she never planned to have. Olivyah’s pregnancy with her oldest child, Ozara, was unplanned. The post shows Ozara, now two, in the middle of throwing a tantrum. Olivyah’s poignant beginning to the caption reads: […]

How often do you clean your phone? Really though. Because it’s dirty. I mean, we’re talking REALLY dirty. If you think about it, it only makes sense that your phone is picking up all sorts of germs here and there. You put it down on public tables, on kitchen counters, you drop it on the […]
