Self Isolation Week 1: We survived

So it was this time last week that the government announced household isolation and we had mixed reviews in the Gannon house. It’s been an interesting week as the three of us learn to spend a lot more time together in a small space. We’ve enjoyed arts and crafts, numerous FaceTime chats with Nana and […]

Day 3 of Household Isolation

So, I’m writing from the bath at the end of one of the more difficult days of our household isolation so far. This was due to restless night with the Monster and the constant want for “Mamma”! My mini coworker has followed me around the most of today, producing what seems like gallons of snot […]

No time like the present…

Well, seems I neglected this idea of a blog for, well, sometime! Being a new parent and going back to work was a lot busier and harder than anticipated! But with new advice from the government yesterday regarding the coronavirus, Covid 19 we find ourselves in household self isolation for two weeks so I thought […]

Hello Again!

Apologies to everyone and mainly myself for not posting in forever! We’ve been very busy in the Oshi monster household between viruses, hospital visits and sickness bugs then catching up after said viruses, hospital visits and sickness bugs! There just seems like there are not enough hours in the day and this mama bear is […]

The Adventures of Weaning

We were going to wait until 6 months but after talking to friends and family members opted to give weaning a go at 18 weeks. We started off with a little baby rice which went down well, with the little bird opening his mouth willingly for the food. Since then we have moved onto a […]

The different sides of Mummy

I haven’t posted for a while as, well, we’ve been a little busy. Baby massage, swimming, library sessions and lunches out keeping us busy little bees. I wanted to share a bit about the range recent emotions I’ve been feeling recently. It’s such a cliche but being a Mum really is a rollercoaster of emotions […]

Mummy’s Alter Ego

I never thought I would be one of those Mothers that defines themselves as being a mum and my pre-mum self couldn’t understand why people did. How naive was I? Now I have days when I can’t remember what it was like to not be a mum (don’t get me wrong I love it and […]

A week in the life of Oshi

So it’s a Sunday night and I lay here exhausted from this weeks antics! This baby has a better social calendar than me, with the week ahead also looking pretty jam packed! Monday, we travelled back from a lovely weekend with the in-laws aka Nana and Grandad celebrating birthdays galore, including a 21st birthday where […]

The Mother of All Hangovers

Today has seen tag team parenting at its finest, following a rather heavy night and our first hangovers as parents. We started off so sensibly, baby in tow and visions of being home from a family do at 11:30pm with everyone tucked up in bed. That was until Nana offered to sit with baba until […]

First Birthday as a Mummy

So today marks my 31st birthday and my first birthday as a mummy and without my mummy. It’s been a mixed emotion fuelled day, but thankfully I have an amazing Superhero of a husband! He has given me a superb birthday. The day started well with a decent sleep after Oshi getting back into his […]
