HELLO

Hi, my name is Catherine & I am so happy you stopped by. The pages of my blog will mostly be filled with my journey in motherhood and our ordinary extraordinary moments. There is me, my husband Mark, our beautiful daughter and a beagle, setting down roots in our self build home by the river in the Northern Irish countryside.

There are some moments when motherhood just hits you in the face isn't there?! In a good way I mean. Like when somebody refers to me as "Susanna's Mummy" or your kid tells you "I love you so much" or even when you are balancing a thousand plates or dealing with the most epic tantrum and you realise that this right here is your calling in life?! Moments like these, when I was busy pottering about the kitchen and then I spot my girl deep in a game of make believe, those are the moments it gets me in the guts. Parenting is a tough old gig sometimes but man is it an incredible adventure 🐾 #seasonsinsquares #seekthehappymoments

It has been the perfect day for hiding indoors, tackling the housework and some very important admin. There are some exciting things going on behind the scenes here and I am dying to spill the beans, sorry for being one of those annoying people that make you all curious but can't give anything away....all in good time 😘 Anyway, I'm shutting down the laptop now and starting the dinner time hustle before hitting the gym for Tae Bo AND Bootcamp. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, assume death by gym 😷 📸 @daniellerdouglas

Hey Mama's, life is busy, am I right? Lots of you have been following my journey to wellness this year and one of the most common issues among us all is that we find it really difficult to make time for ourselves. I made it my mission to carve some 'me time' into my schedule and while it mostly looks like a couple of hours in the week to hit the gym, I also am being intentional about enjoying life's little pleasures. So, when I heard about Galaxy's 30 Days of Pleasure campaign I knew that was something I could get on board with. We want you to join us over the next 30 days in taking time each day to do something that you enjoy, away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, just one thing each day that makes you happy. For me, happiness often comes in the shape of a creamy chocolate bar to share with the hubby so, there is no nap time hustle today, this Galaxy Honeycomb Crisp was calling my name! For the next hour, you can find me here, deep in a good book with the most delicious treat. How are you going to #choosepleasure this month? @galaxyuk #choosepleasure #ad

Susanna and I are so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by amazing men who love and serve their family hard! This one is our very favourite though. Happy Fathers Day @foxandfins you are one in a million 💋

Weekend Vibes // it's been a hectic one but full of all the fun. Today I got to go wedding dress shopping with my bestie, @adelemcn said Yes to the dress, wohoooo!! This evening we are having some engagement celebrations with @fiercelittlelifter & @paddygervin. Then tomorrow it's a day to celebrate all the men in our lives, and there are quite a few great ones!! Have a lovely one friends 🥂

What a way to start the weekend. I got to browse the flower market and brunch with this girl today. I have said it a million times but I am so grateful for this app and the incredible women it has brought into my life. I'm not usually a soppy person but @justlaurajayne is one of the most encouraging, funniest, girl boss people I know and today she was exactly what I needed! • In other news, thank you so genuinely for all the feedback on my first vlog. You lot were so kind and so encouraging. Please never underestimate the power of a comment or DM, you are an amazing little tribe 💛

Highlights // Since Susanna was born, hubby and I have been very intentional about recording snippets of our adventures and editing them into little family movies. I absolutely love looking back on the memories we made and reliving all the fun. • Within the first 24hours of us arriving in Croatia last month I had received loads of messages asking about where we were and all about the resort. So...I decided that I would record our moments with a view to posting our very first, public video. Over the past couple of days I have been sorting through footage and picking out some bits I thought you might like to see. I have just hit 'public' over on YouTube and I am feeling ALL the butterflies. • This is certainly not the slick, professional videos you may be used to watching on YouTube but to us it is a perfect little tribute to our week in Croatia. If you fancy a watch of the full video, link is in bio. I really would love your honest feedback. This is WAY scarier than hitting publish on that first blog post, eeeek. ⛵ P.s. look out for the thunderstorm messing with my attempt at 'vloggy chat' 😉 @tuiuk @croatiafulloflife

So far today we have taken a walk to feed the horses, played roly poly down the hill and collected pretty blooms to take home. We found a perfect little spot where we could watch the tractors bailing hay while we have our picnic. As a special treat I packed these brand new Milkybar Wowsomes which have 30% less sugar than similar chocolate products and contain no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, colours or flavourings. Milk is the number one ingredient in these handy little treats and they also have delicious crispy oat cereal pieces making them a gluten free source of fibre. I think we will adventure on our own doorstep more often! #ad #MilkybarWowsomes @milkybaruki

I had an unplanned break from social media over the weekend while I recovered from that nasty bug!! It was lovely, of course I still snapped the little moments as usual. Yesterday was a perfect spontaneous day, after church we met up with Susanna's Granny & Granda at the beach house and headed to the Whiskey & Salmon Festival in Bushmills. Our day ended with a paddle in the sea and dinner on the beach. Little Miss Sandy toes fell asleep in the car and hubby and I had a takeaway and a glass of wine before an early night too. Simple days with my tiny tribe ⛵
