Tantrums in the morning

Generally my husband takes the dog with him to the office everyday.  However, he decided to leave Bones at home with me as I am off work today.
I had planned to have a lie in and take it easy.  Well I tell you, that was not going to happen with Bones in the house.  He went berserk when Ciaran left without him.  The dog was so cross that I nearly phoned Ciaran to come back and take him with you.
The whole day I've had a sulky dog on my hands.  He is really acting up - he won't even eat his food!!
Not a good boy......and I'm not too pleased with having been woken up early on my day off.

How many pancakes did you eat?!

Today is the last day before Lent.  Here in Ireland we call this Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday.  Traditionally we eat pancakes today and then make a decision to forgo something nice for Lent which leads us up to Easter. 

By the way, I had 1 pancake today.  How many did you have?!

Competition time!

Coconut Body Mist

It always amazes me the amount of blogs that are purely based on reviewing certain products.  It is obviously something that is enjoyed by blog readers so I am going to do my first blog review and see if I receive any extra readers. 
The product that I am going to review are Key West Aloe Coconut Body Mist.
Coconut Body Mist is a tropical smelling product.  I bought this spray in the Key West Aloe Store on Duval Street.  The lady who served me explained that there used to be a factory in Key West that made all the products that they sold in the store.  The factory closed down in about the 90’s and the products are all made elsewhere in the USA.  I was glad to hear that production is still in the USA and hopefully I was supporting US jobs when I purchased it.  My husband also bought a spray in this store to keep the dog fresh smelling!  The Coconut Spray smells great and it reminds me of Key West every time I use it. it is very refreshing and on a warm day I think it would very cooling.
So there you have it my first product review – I hope you enjoyed it! 

Will my house be in an ad?!

Exciting news!  I have been approached by a Locations Company who have a client who is interested in having a photo shoot in our house.  It is an Irish Department Store and they will be shooting their homewares.  They are looking for a particular house with certain windows. 

Fingers crossed that our house is suitable!
