An idea to cover school’s ‘voluntary contributions’

M won’t be starting national school until Sept 2011 and I don’t know if her future ‘big school’ requests voluntary contributions from parents – but I think I’m covered already… here’s how (and maybe it’s a painless fundraising idea that other parents and schools might like to consider). click here

A City Farm – fostering two baby lambs

‘Amanda’s Story’ - mum of three young girls We live in a nice, quiet, residential area, close to the Ennis Road in Limerick. My husband, Dave, grew up on a farm and loved the idea of our three kids caring for animals in our garden – ‘it is good for their immune system’ he would [&hellip

Night Terrors – should I comfort her or not?

In the last two months or so M has been suffering night terrors – two or three a week, most weeks.

Why didn’t I join earlier!!

I only recently joined The Granary City Library for M – it’s a serious treasure trove for kids and it’s now part of our weekly routine.

The masterpieces pile up

Waiting Lists for Gymnastics

M is now eager to ‘do what big kids do’ so I am looking at activities where the focus is on fun and participation rather than competitive success (god how I hated exams – in school and outside school). Also M is a bit of a clumsy princess, legs covered in bruises, never looks where [&hellip
