The Year That Was 2015

Another year over and since becoming a parent
the time just seems to be going so fast
I have to admit going into this new year I feel a bit
anxious I have never felt like that before
but I am a little nervous as to what 2016 will hold for us
I have a feeling it will be a time of change
as we are not sure if will be renewing our house for another year
and I am still sick with my twisted bowel so am hoping
that this will not drag on long into the new year
As a new year looks like a page unwritten
let look back on the full year of 2015

January- This not my favourite month of the year, bleak dark January days
Trying to shed the Christmas weight with empty bank balances! That said the past two years
January has been a nice month. Looking back Oisín looks so little and was going through a sock phase where he carried around a different sock for comfort. This month was spent eating comfort food, Sunday lunches with family, curling up lighting candles watching my favourite Sunday night shows.  

February- I think we went a little stir crazy in Feb, the weather was freezing and
we where still getting our finances back on track after Christmas.
My friends and I went to see 50 shades of cringe this month and had a nice
girlie night with cocktails. It was also hubby's birthday this month
we enjoyed a lovely night out and a huge birthday dinner in my parents
It was also the month that Oisín finally got up and started walking!

March- This month was full of family time
We has lots of lovely family dinners, we had snow which Oisín was in awe off!
We had St Patrick's Day which was lots of fun and also Mother's Day in this month
Spring came in late March with the promise of brighter days

April- We had lots of lovely chocolate eggs for Easter
and my diet went out the window!
My friend got married this month and we had
a lovely time at the wedding

May- This was a nice month with a few nights out
at the theater with my parents and friends
We enjoyed an early bit of Summer with walks in the park,
swimming and playing in our garden

June- What a crazy busy month! My best friends
hen do was this month. Along with my Dad's birthday
Father's day and then at the end of the month
we flew out to Croatia to see our friends
get married and enjoy our first family holiday!

July- This was another crazy month
we finished our lovely holiday in Croatia
I started a detox to get bridesmaid ready for
my best friends wedding. I took a break from blogging
as I had so much going on! My favourite day of the year
was my best friends Wedding day when I was Bridesmaid
and Oisín was pageboy

August- Was a quite month after the madness of the past
few month. I went crazy and got the tattoo I wanted on my foot
Tir Na Nóg for my Oisín

September- One of my favourite months of the year
We celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary
I enjoyed a few shopping spree's after losing some weight
in Slimming World and we had a lovely time for my Mam's Birthday


October- Not my favourite month as it was my brother's 9th anniversary
but Oisin helped me get through it and he loved Halloween
After weeks of worrying if he wouldn't enjoy it
he had a great time dressing up and getting sweets
Our cute little pumpkin!

November- I tried to get Christmas ready in November
It was the month to enjoy Autumn going on long walks
making homemade soup, drinking hot chocolate and getting cosy!

December- I really enjoyed the start of this month. 
Seeing Oisín's eyes light up when he saw our Christmas tree
to bringing him on the Rathwood Santa Tree and our day
out to see the Christmas lights. I also really enjoyed my SW Christmas party
getting cosy while watching Christmas movies
but it was also the month my bowel twisted and I ended up in hospital
I was in pain over the Christmas time but it didn't stop me enjoying
seeing our little boy's face on Christmas morning
It was a month filled with birthdays too, mine, my father in law's and Oisín
we all had a little celebration in my parent in laws on the 26th which was fun

2015 you have been one of our busiest and fun years 
2016 please be good to us and lets see what you have in store!

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.
