The Year That Was 2014

2014 went by in a bit of a whirl wind and it was a bit of a roller coaster

but it was my first year as a Mammy and nothing can ever come close to

the past year.

January: This month saw us start a new year

as parents

This month I had never felt more sleep deprived 

in my life but looking back it was one of

my favourite months of the year

February/March: February was a nice month for us

Paul's first birthday as a Daddy, first night out while

Grandparents babysat Oisín!

March was more of a trying month, we got news

that our Landlord had been declared bankrupted

so we had 20 days to move out!

Packing, trying to find a place with

a new baby....not fun! 

April: We moved back into my parents this month

as we couldn't find anywhere suitable to live

in 20 days! It was also Oisín's christening this month

it was an amazing day with all our friends and family

 May: Saw us going away for our first 

weekend away without Oisín my parents babysit

It was lovely to have two nights away dinner,

drinks and lie ins!

We also moved into our new house the end of May

and I went back to work

June/July: June saw my Dad turn 70th!!

We had a few drinks and a huge family dinner

Mam and Dad went on a break away to Scotland

In July we had picnics in the park and family

swim days. Paul and I also attend the wedding

of two of our lovely friends

August: Was the month I crashed and burned!

I was sick in bed for over two weeks

ear, throat and jaw infections you name it

I got it! It was also the month we discovered

how much of a bitch teething can be!

September: It was a good month, our 3rd wedding anniversary

and the month my Mam and I got to walk the famous

Coronation Street cobbles! I got a surprise early 30th birthday 

present from Paul and my parents. A soap tour to visit 

the sets of Coronation Street and Emmerdale, shopping and

spending money! 

We also celebrated my Mam's birthday this month too

October: Is never my favourite month

it was my brother's eight year anniversary

but I had this little man to help me

get through it

November: Was an up and down month

we started off good. Oisín had his first

meal in a restaurant this month and was

good as gold. He enjoyed pasta, bread sticks,

cheese and ice cream!

We then all got the horrible winter bug

and where down with that for nearly two weeks

as poor Oisín got it twice

December: My favourite month of the year

What amazing month this was, from Oisín's

face when he saw the Christmas tree for the first time, to

his 1st Birthday party. Then bringing him to see

Santa Claus, enjoying night outs with friends and family.

had so many meals out I can't remember them all!!

My 30th birthday celebrations, Christmas day

was wonderful and of course on the 27th it was Oisín's

1st birthday.

2014 you have been amazing can't to see what 2015

has in store.
