I had to write this while it was fresh in my head because I'm still completely reeling after my experience on Thursday. I want to shout it from the rooftops that this service exists because I'm not quite sure if I can truly articulate just how much it's impacted me since. Birth Reflections is [...]

New Baby New House

By TraceyQuinn| 2018-11-27T21:35:36+00:00 November 27th, 2018|Lifestyle, Parenting|0 Comments

I don't like to do things in half do I? We moved in to our new house less than a month ago and the comments starting flooding in about "new house, new baby". I giggled at every single Instagram comment or suggestion that this would be the next chapter for us. Little did anyone know [...]

2 years ago by traceysblog The happiness this plate of food brought me just now is off the charts. I needed that Oh I'm knackered and drained this week lads. No two ways about it. I've had a lot of work on this week and I feel like I've been driving most of the days then staying up late working and struggling to switch off. Just one of those weeks and being self employed brings me so much to be grateful for. About to sit down for an hour with a cuppa and mindlessly scroll through social media. The work and house stuff can wait
2 years ago by traceysblog Thanks for having us today @cadburyireland The #cadburysecretsanta pop up shop is at 57 South William Street in Dublin until Saturday. It's completely FREE and really worth a visit. The experience involves creating your own selection box (with 6 full size bars) a @cadburyireland hot chocolate, a really funny post master, singing elves and then writing a letter and addressing your secret Santa who will receive the letter and a bar or dairy milk in the post from you. It's all free and you can give a donation to @awareireland if you wish. It would be a lovely way to
2 years ago by traceysblog What a dinner. And it didn't take long to make at all. I sauteed an onion with two crushed cloves of garlic, a diced carrot and a courgette chopped up. I added a teaspoon of dried basil, a teaspoon of garlic granules and the juice of half a lime. I then added a few handfuls of spinach leaves which wilted quickly. In a pot I boiled some spagetti in chicken stock. When the pasta was cooked I added it in to the pan of sauteed veg with a large packet of smoked salmon, the remaining chicken stock and half a
2 years ago by traceysblog These little cuties loved the @thehelixpanto and we all had such a lovely night. Feeling so grateful for the weekend I've just had. We had lovely family times, nice food, I got on top of the house work and I managed to do a tonne of work too. I am one of those people that needs balance to be happy so these all made for some very good vibes for me. Looking forward to a fun and busy week which involves a girly dinner with my lovely friend @lovelifeandlittleones Remember folks, if you don't appreciate what you have now the

2 years ago by traceysblog We are just home from @thehelixpanto and I do not have enough good things to say about it. Having worked at Pantos for years I didn't know what to expect as this would be my first time to see one at @thehelixdublin It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Billy had the time of his life and can't understand why he isn't allowed to go up on stage with the other kids ‍♀️ I don't want to give it away but I can assure you that anything your child is currently "in to" is in this Panto. Like EVERYTHING.
2 years ago by traceysblog HOW was this a week ago? Couldn't have asked for a better group of people to explore #Krakow with It was just easy. I was saying to my mam that it was so nice "living" with my sister @slim_with_leanne_ again. Three days of getting ready together, watching tv in the same bed (well @eatsleepchicblog birth story ) and just being sisters borrowing each others things. I loved it
2 years ago by traceysblog Lazy weekend breakfast so I can clean. I plan on sitting on my bum for the afternoon getting lots of work done so want the housey bits done now. That syrup is @sweetfreedomuk chocolate syrup. Its healthy. You know, like the 7 tonnes of sugar he ate last night ‍♀️
2 years ago by traceysblog We are #latelatetoyshow2018 ready. I opened the Christmas boxes to find last year's matching pjs that I picked up from @georgeatasda I said we better wear them tonight because chances are they won't fit me in 3 and a half week's time ‍♀️ The photo taker is slightly shyer about the matching PJs but I've included his foot to prove that he's part of the #santasquad and is totally in to it We've had a bubble bath, dinner was a throw in the oven job, the fire is lit and I bought enough goodies in @lidlireland for the next ten
2 years ago by traceysblog I'm 15 weeks pregnant today, how crazy is that? I genuinely still have moments where I think it's not real - it's still totally surreal. Life in general has been totally surreal for the last four months. We went on holiday, got a call while there which made us panic that the house wouldn't be happening, came home to find out we were pregnant, got the keys a month later and then began all things cyst. A rollercoaster of emotions. I'm off to have my MRI today. I genuinely don't feel a bit worried. I should be out within an
