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.

Catching my breath after a full day yesterday. We had such a lovely festive afternoon with @thehomelyhaven creating fresh door wreaths. Then, it was home for a quick change to head out with the bride squad for party night. We all had a sleepover at my mum and dad's and woke to a big fry this morning. It's a slow start, just what we needed. Happy Sunday friend ⛄ Thanks for the snap @maureen3887

2 teeth yesterday, crawling today. I'm proud as punch of this wee peach smashing her milestones. Tonight we have the cousins round for a sleepover and my heart is bursting. Full House, just how I like it. Of course, susanna is past herself with excitement. There have been lot of giggles tonight 🎄

All of the lights // last night we wrapped up warm and went on an adventure at bed time. We were invited along to preview the Enchanted Winter Garden at Antrim Castle Gardens. It was magical. We have gone every year since it opened but I think this year tops them all. The lights, characters, fairground rides and food; every bit of it makes for a really fun, family festive night out. Swipe across to see how our adventure went. The #enchantedwintergarden opens today at 4.30pm, who's planning a trip? 🎅 P. S. @sarah_cameronart nailed the family shot for us 🌠 #gifted #enchantedwintergarden @anborough @powerni

We have not one, but two teeth. Go Connie girl, you sure don't do things by halves. The milestones fly by with a second baby, I can't believe she is almost nine months and yet I also can't even picture life without her anymore, it's like she's always been here. She's a joy bringer, even when teething. . It's a cosy morning for us before an exciting evening. Elfis was having a movie night with Elsa last night so we are jumping on board and watching Elf before breakfast. Happy Thursday friends 🎄

It was an early start for us as our advent-ure calendar sent us to the Christmas tree farm. We made a morning of it and treated our big girl to a McDs brekkie and a wander round @slemishmarketgarden before heading to pick out the perfect tree. It was a lot to squeeze in before preschool, so no surprise that we have two very sleepy girls tonight. Our real tree is full of sentimental decorations, each has a little story behind it and we also add to it each year. I can't wait to pick out Connie's first decoration and see what Susanna picks for herself. These days are magic 🎄 #everydaymamamoments

We are how many days into our Advent-ure calendar already?! I hope the whole month doesn't go this quickly. I really love the build up to Christmas, even more than the day, it's just so exciting. We have done this countdown to Christmas every year since we got married. Each day we have something fun to do together, nothing big, just little moments of being intentional. I say no to pretty much everything in December to make lots of room for family time, I know these years are so precious. Anyone else love the build up even more than the day? ⛄ #everydaymamamoments

Oh man, 24 hours of just us two. Actually having conversation over a meal, browsing the shops, holding hands as we walked, sleeping all night and waking up refreshed. It was sheer bliss but the excitement as we drove home to our girls was also next level. Time away makes you a better parent, fact! Time to refresh and focus on each other. It was the perfect remedy for the market hangover and as hard as I found it to leave the girls behind, I know they enjoyed their time with Granny & Granda so very much. The gang is back together, looking forward to chatting with you again in another 6 months or so @foxandfins 😂😜

It's been a lovely slow morning at home with my girls. I always feel like I have a market hangover after an event. I swear it's all the excitement. We have welcomed Elfis back and also introduced this lovely new idea from @thegivingmanger. Susanna chose a kindness card and followed it through perfectly. Our first piece of straw is in the manger. December, it's so good to see you 🎄 #gifteditems #everydaymamamoments

#ad Good Morning! My favourite time of the day is the morning snuggles when we all wake. Usually propped up in bed with some fresh coffee and copious amounts of cuddles. It's even sweeter when we have had a good night’s sleep. One way we make sure that Connie sleeps well is by using @pampersuk_ire Baby-Dry nappies to help #BeatTheLeaks. With two times stronger leg cuffs and extra absorbency we can eliminate her nappy being the reason she wakes up. Since making the switch I have noticed that she sleeps so much better. Look at that happy wee face after a great night and what a bonus that my morning coffee is out of choice rather than necessity! Have you tried the new Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? #BeatTheLeaks
