School Expenses
I thought it might be a good idea to talk about some of the 4 year old’s starting school expenses, how I think they compare to other schools and also go into some of the hidden costs that you may not have considered. As I chatted about this with my fellow Irish Parenting Bloggers, we realised that this was an issue that many of us would like to discuss and share our opinions and feelings so you will see more links appearing below as we blog about it.

World Breastfeeding Week
As a food blogger I thought long and hard about writing this post. In Ireland there is a cultural taboo about discussing breastfeeding as a food choice. This is World Breastfeeding Week however and it’s about time I discussed it on the blog. The Irish Parenting Bloggers group are holding a blog march to celebrate and discuss their breastfeeding experiences.

Women In The Workplace
I’m a stay at home mother. The home is my workplace. Does that make me any less of a working mother than those who have to go to paid employment? I don’t think so.

Keeping Calm Is Over Rated
Keeping calm is over rated. I assure you. As a parent, I spend most of my day keeping calm. The baby wakes at 5am, I keep calm. I find toothpaste squirted into the overflow of the sink, I keep calm. I walk 4km in the sun only for it to rain on the return and I discover I’ve no raincover for the buggy, I keep calm. I take the baby down from the table for the 17th time before 10am and, yep you’ve guessed it, I keep calm.

How NOT To Go Shopping
If you were to go shopping, I’d recommend you bring a list with you. Before you made that list, I’d tell you to do a stock take of your cupboards to see what you have. I’d tell you not to go shopping on an empty stomach. Then to go at a quiet time with no distractions. Yesterday (Tuesday) was a shopping failure for me. If you want to know how not to go shopping, read on.

Let Them Eat Cake
This is the seventh blogpost of the Irish Parenting Bloggers’ #BlogMarch across 10 blogs over 10 days. The aim of the BlogMarch is to protest against the proposed Child Benefit cuts in Ireland. We all have varying opinions and beliefs as to what should happen but we are united in our belief that Child Benefit shouldn’t be radically cut.
