This is the face of a mother who is ready to have her children home now. The fantasy life I had intended to lead while they were away never materialized. A life of wanton disregard for anybody else but myself. The truth is I have spent all my days thinking about them. I am well aware of the insanity that is praying and begging and wanting a break more than anything else in the world and then when you get it not knowing what to do it yourself. And I know.....don't come at me I realise many mother's get no break at all....#blessed blah blah. There were plans aplenty. I'll go get a facial......couldn't be arsed. I'll go for loads of walks.....wow the kids are just a convenient excuse. I'll have people over....they said they would but it never happened. I'll organise school stuff.......oh jesus I have NOTHING so I'll put it off for another few days. That makes sense. I just can't wait to have them back so I can have something to complain about....how can I play the downtrodden, underprivileged, breaking at the seams single mother without any children??!!! Actually I'm doing a pretty good job! #singleparenting #access #childhoodgames #curvystyle #ipbig #irishblogger
There is nothing like a break from your children to make you don on a pair of exaggerated rose tinted glasses. I've been looking forward to this week since the end of the week last year. No lie. That being said I found myself sitting today and thinking about my children in glowing terms. Isn't it so cute the way middle son has to have the last word all the time......he is so clever. Adorable the way the eldest boy acts like he's about to be made jump into a pool of hungry piranha fish when it's bath time. Endearing the way the girl things every square meter of the floor in the house is for rubbish to be disposed of at will. The brain is really an amazing place! I don't believe a word mine tells me! #makeupoftheday #selfie #paintyourface #irishblogger #discoverunder5k #instagood #ipbig #kilkenny #funnyparent #creatorsie #handmade #crochet  #housework #hincher #teamtomm #visitkilkenny #streetart #childhoodgames #foody
Got such a huge response to this I thought I'd immortalise it with a space on the grid! Red is my colour. Or so I'm told. I was just saying it's a pity I'm too poor to be a fashion blogger! Sure the kids don't have to eat every day do they? Clothes are powerful when it comes to my level of sass.....in this outfit I'm bordering on 200%. #ootd #boutique #visitkilkenny #fashion #style #curvystyle #plussize #ipbig #irishblogger #creatorsie @versofashions
That's me....looking for a decent man. The guy behind me wasn't single...I asked. People keep saying to me that you need to focus on yourself and one will come along. Sorry folks this isn't some romantic comedy where my plumber is going to fall in love with me because he's impressed by the condition of my pipes. People say you need to love yourself before you can love someone else. Well I was raised a Catholic and we all know that's a mortal sin. Plus I heard it can make you go blind. 😜 I believe everything happens for a reason and I think the universe is telling me that I need to focus on my family. I'M FOCUSED BIATCH. I'm a woman, I can handle one more ball to juggle.....or in this case 2!!!

On Saturday I decided to bake with the kids. I think it's so important to include them in the kitchen. The focus always being on them doing as much as possible and not on the aesthetic of the finished product. Then I got sense and thought f*** that. Cooking with kids is a nightmare. They only want to do the fun bit like lick the spoon.( I want to lick the spoon). There is not a mixing bowl big enough to stop the three of them from spouting vile insults at one another. Also not a good idea to arm any of them when they are in such close proximity to one another. They never want to clean up after it, I'm with them on that score. Then, eating the final product is like an assault on your immune system. God only knows what bodily fluids you'd find on their grubby little paws. So I skipped all that parenty nonsense and just made them myself. The Chocolate Pop Squares from @oneyummymummy1 were a hit! My son was in utter disbelief that they looked just like the ones in the book. Alright son, calm down your mother is not totally inept. #mummyshot #littlefierceones #whatevertheweatherkids #rememberthesedays #explorerkids #themagicineveryday #desserts #creatorsie #ipbig
Ok Ellen....stay cool. You want this interaction to be chilled, effortless. It must be awful to be in the public eye and have people looking for something off you 24/7. (Obviously being a mediocre digital creator I can identify!) If you feel like you're bothering them just abort the mission, there is nothing worse than a hysterical needy fan. They don't want to hear the story about how Liam tried to feel your boobs in the coo when 'Whole Again' was playing in the background. They most certainly don't want to hear about the fact that we used to change the words to.... 'you can lick my hole again....' And most of all make sure you look good in the picture.....close your mouth, chin down, fix your hair and hold it well away from your face because you're meeting some of your childhood idols like............... There are no words 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #atomickitten #wholeagain #funfest #crestorsie #ipbig
If you think about it art is absolutely everywhere. We are surrounded by beauty everywhere we go. I love being creative but sadly my talent and ability do not match my ambition. That doesn't stop me though. I love creating things even my short little videos have a certain amount of creativity to them. That is what I am going to focus on as I move forward with whatever this is. I don't think blog suits me anymore. Content creator? Mini vlogger? (Thanks to @deelightfullyhonest ) Instagrammer? Gas Bitch? Who da fuq knows what to call it? A rose my any other name......will still cut you if you don't handle it right.......Brophy 2019 #mummyshot #littlefierceones #whatevertheweatherkids #rememberthesedays #explorerkids #themagicineveryday
I do love makeup but I have 100% realised that I am not a beauty blogger. In fact I think this will be the last makeup up shot that I post. That's not to say there won't be an odd gratuitous selfie when the makeup turns out just right I mean I'd have to document that moment right? You see I have lost faith. I no longer hang on the word of my favourite beauty bloggers. Sooner or later they all get sent things or sponsored to use products and fair play to them. They avail of opportunities I could only dream of. The foundation I am wearing in this picture I bought after every blogger in the country recommended it. Funnily enough I have not seen one of those influencers using this foundation in the last year. In short it was not that good. I do not mind anybody earning a living I do not mind anybody promoting products but I have decided that I do not want Instagram to be a place that shows me all the things that I do not have in life. I want to use it to grow as a person to be educated and enlightened and entertained. So in that vein I don't want to be putting pictures up of all the makeup that I have because I don't want to be encouraging people to buy more stuff they don't need.
