Last Day Of School!!

Hi Guys, 

It's summer holiday time :))))) 

Yay!!:) 

So today was my little monkeys last EVER day in kindergarden :( my baby is growing up so fast! All the children dressed up for the last day Seán dressed up as Spider Man, he's one of those kids who love to dress up at anytime of the year:) I just can't believe that in a short few weeks he'll be in his little school uniform :) :) 

After school we went to the pictures to see new Despicable Me 2 movie!! It was soo funny:) I absolutely love the little yellow guys I find the minions so funny I love the way they talk. My son had a great time and with it being in 3D it made it all even better. Great film I would definitely go see it again :) 

It's so hard to think of fun things to do in Dublin in the summer time for kids! I'm going to spend tonight looking up fun days out, events going on, festivals and any thing else I can think of to do while on holidays:) Ill be sure to share what ever I find and the web sites I find them on to or if you have any ideas please feel free to share not just for me but for other people to :)) 

Take Care Enjoy Your Weekend;)

Penny's & Yankee Candle Haul!!

Hi Guys, 

Hope my lovely readers are keeping well? :) 

I haven't been doing much clothes shopping the past few weeks as I have been saving all of my extra money and just buying a few small non clothing items . Today I picked up a few things in town that I just basically thought I'd share because I miss writing on my blog and to be honest I just wanted to get myself back used to writing up posts every day to every second day. 

The Yankee Candle I got is for the lovely teacher in my dress making class as we are finishing up tomorrow for the summer and I wanted to get her something nice to say thanks!:) The rest kinda explains it self toothpaste, face mask, book... random haul:) Ohhhh! I should say I am interested in the Titanic always have been but today when I seen the Titanic Tea I realized that maybe, just maybe I could be just a tiny bit obsessed with it lol I just couldn't pass up the tea :) Very nice cuppa for later Hmmmmm lol

Fun Filled Family Day Out in Dublin!!

Hi Guys, 

Yesterday was such a great unexpected day! Every weekend I keep saying " Oh we'll go out to the farmers market and see what it's like " but we never go... Until this weekend which was the best weekend to go:) 

While we where on the bus going out to St Ann's Park we seen that along Clontarf The Gathering of The Vikings was going on and decided that we'd spend a short while in the park then walk back down to the Viking event. 

There is a good farmers market in St. Ann's park at the weekends with food stalls, glass wear stalls and lots of other stalls to. The park is huge a great day out for family's. 

The Gathering of The Vikings was great. I think it's on once a year for one day. It's such a great day out for everyone young and old. There were so many food stalls out from sweets, ice creams, vegetarian, chipper food and BBQ food absolutely great tasting food. There was free face painting, sumo wrestling, play fighting as Vikings and bouncy castles for children of all ages. 

You could see how Vikings lived, what they ate, what they wore and which tools they used on a daily basics or for fighting. 

I have been looking for web sites to find out more things that are going on but can't seem to find the right one:( but if I do I'll share it with you all.

Beach Bag For Children!

Hi Guys, 

So while I was packing my sons beach bag this morning I thought I'd share some of the things that I pack which I think that he'd need. Everyone's beach bag contents are different so this is just what I pack not that I pack it very often as we live in Dublin which never gets sun but the past few days have been amazing :) I do carry a lot of Sean's things in my bag and ill list them off to at the end. 

Inside the bag we have: 

Sun hat

Sun glasses 

Spare under wear

Bag for shells

Some toys 

Bottle of juice 

Small snack

In my bag for Sean is: 

Towel

Bucket & Spade 

Lunch

Spare clothes  

Drink 

Sun cream

More toys 

Small pop up tent for some shade or to get changed 

We don't get to go the beach often so I'm kinda still getting used to packing beach bags so I don't know if I bring to much or to little bit hay ho everyone's different:) 

If you going the beach today or soon enjoy and don't forget your sun screen :) 

Enjoy you week

Plank, Crunch and Squat 30Day Challenges!!

Hi Guys, 

Long time no post:( My bad! Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time but finally it's Summer time in Dublin... Yay!!!! 

Iv been trying to go different places with my little monkey and fun things after school before he gets his summer holidays soon, so haven't had much time to post or even think about what to post. 

I thought I'd do a quick post telling you all what I'm starting, I must be mad starting these! So with doing my training 4 days a week which are hard I have decided that I'd like to try and do the 30 Day Squat Challenge seen as everyone is talking about it. While looking for it on Google I came across the Plank and Crunch challenge! Am I mad?! I think so! Lol I thought why not go the whole hog and do them all. 

I think the Squat one will be pretty easy as I have done 150+ squats at one time in the gym before same with the crunches but the plank... Well that's a different story altogether! I have no hope with doing the plank but its one thing that I'd like to improve so this challenge will be perfect for that. I badly need to tone up my ass so ill be pushing these squats to the max:)

Ill add a photo of all 3 of the challenges plus a different at home workout to in case anyone would like do try some different. If you doing the challenge let me know how your getting on ill check in soon with some feed back. 

Happy Crunching, Squatting and Planking!! Enjoy your weekend stay safe:)
