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.

A brief stop in play for a movie on the sofa // these three played so well this morning while little Piper snuggled and snoozed on repeat. • When I became a Mama, I worried that I would become isolated. Those early days of motherhood can be lonely, I often felt like just milk machine, on demand for a tiny human all day. There were days when my only company, while Mark & the rest of the world were at work, was my newborn and don't get me wrong, it was utter perfection but it was also such a strange time of loneliness. Total opposites all at the same time. These kids and their Mamas pulled me out of that Motherhood funk and I just love any excuse to hang out. I love that they are growing up together, three little sweethearts and now their wee buddy Piper who will no doubt put them in their place as soon as she can! • Find your tribe, love them hard 🙌

Evening sunshine // after a lovely afternoon, browsing the shops with Nanee we are home and this one is enjoying dinner al fresco. @foxandfins is working so hard on a little project in our garden, I am SO excited to show you what he's been up too. Thank you for all your advice on how we can add some colour to the garden, I have definitely got some ideas to keep me going! Happy hump day friends, I hope you have had a good one 🌳

Hey there, fancy a catch up?! I'm chatting about little frustrations, a honeymoon period and plans for the next few weeks over on the blog this evening. • Join me for a long overdue Tea With Me {life update}. Link in Bio ☕

MONDAY // I left these gorgeous dungarees & stripey mint top, (both from the fabulous @hellobabybert) out for Susanna this morning and she was delighted. I have heard "so nice" about 100 times this morning and when I said "you look beautiful Susanna", she replied with, "I am beautiful Mummy", that's my girl. I hope you cling on to that truth and your confidence your whole life Susanna Grace 🙌

Sunday fun day // Nanee & Grandad were on their jollies last week so we had to make up for lost time today, this smile says it all. 😁

Today I hiked 9km with an incredible bunch of ladies to raise funds for Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI // The weather was stunning, the views were incredible and the company was fabulous but man is that a tough hike. I'm putting it out there that I'm pretty proud of myself this evening. I know for sure I would have struggled so much with the climb just a few months ago but today I power walked it and it felt SO good. A return trip is already in the planning, let's do it @foxandfins 👟

Sunshine, BBQ & Baby cuddles makes for one very happy girl indeed. We got to meet our friends gorgeous little boy Samuel yesterday & he has stolen our hearts. What a dude 😍

Hello Sunshine // we spent all day yesterday outside and it looks like today is going to be pretty beautiful too. Hubby started some work on our garden. It's going to be years before our landscaping is complete but we are chipping away at it gradually. I am so clueless when it comes to gardening, so I'm looking for some advice and inspo from you lovely lot. Can you recommend some pretty, easy to care for, wind resistant, shrubs, trees and plants?! It's my mission to add colour to the garden this year. I also don't want flower beds to look dead in winter so what can I mix together to keep it looking pretty year round?! Thank you in advance 🌳💐

Sun's out, pins out // I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that has to give those pins a little TLC after a long winter. As soon as the weather gets better I absolutely love ditching the jeans & tights, but first, a little pampering. I feel so much more confident when my skin feels smooth and hydrated right from my head to my toes. It makes me giggle to think how clueless I was as a newbie teenager when I quickly grabbed my Dads razor and dry shaved my legs, cringe and ouch! I could have asked my Mum and I know she would have been super helpful but I was a little embarrassed and so I decided to take matters into my own hands. After my dry shave episode I experimented with hair removal creams and home wax strips before settling on quick and easy Venus Breeze razor blades which I still use to this day, because as we all know, mum's need speedy and convenient beauty regimes. I'm experimenting once again, this time with the fabulous Braun Epilator to see if I can make this task even quicker this summer. I'm a long way off Susanna asking questions about hair removal, but if she chooses to, I want to be ready to give her advice on the various methods she can use. It can be so difficult choosing the right beauty tool so I'm getting all my research in well ahead of time and enjoying every minute! #ad #BraunBeauty #BeautifullySmooth @gillettevenus
