Earth Baby Fair

Cloth Nappy Library Ireland organised it's first baby fair this year -April 18th 2015! 

My job was to organize the talks and I was happy with the topics covered and the speakers were very interesting, I thought. I took advantage of all the group I admin and the picture shown above was the cover picture for a lot of group in the run up to April, 2015. It was relevant to most, I think. All for a good cause :P

The fair as a whole went very well and feedback seems to be quite positive for our first big event!

Who loves a homebirth story?

I first became aware that home birth was an option when I did an antenatal class with Geraldine Cahill from Cuidiú. It all seemed very lovely but it was a little late for us to go about organising and we'd have needed time to consider the whole idea. I did meet a few very normal people who were "HBers". That helped and somewhere between baby number 2 and baby number 3 I began to think HB was a good idea!

I love being back to work, mostly because it means I'm back in Cork. I won't say I feel like a "Corkonian" or anything that extreme now, as I wouldn't dream of supporting anyone other than the Kingdom (that's the official thermometer for those "where are you from" questions). Cork is definitely our second favorite county and we're happy for *them to win -when Kerry are out of the running. We prefer living here in Cork to living in Kerry, mostly because there is enough going on here to keep us busy. Of course it is nice to head west every so often too and we do miss having our families that bit closer -they are mostly all in Kerry.

The Rebel County!!

In Cork there are plenty of options for us and the kids -we haven't tried everything yet! Perhaps more importantly for a Facebook addicted Mama who works in her "offline-time", there are also plenty of local groups on facebook -it keeps me in touch with things and it feels semi real since I've met a  lot of the people I converse with in person. There are plenty of members in each of these groups. To be honest I don't feel odd here at all, even with my BFing, cloth nappies and all the rest. The facebook groups help with that, more than anyone might imagine.
