About

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog. I know there are thousands of us sleep deprived, over worked, under paid, frustrated, bored, neurotic, impatient, patient, kind, loving, fabulous mothers out there furiously blogging away in an effort to retain some semblance of sanity, so I appreciate you taking some time out to read mine.

Basically I am an Irish stay at home mother of 3 kids aged 2, 4, and 6 (how's that for planning?). I left my full time, well paid job after the birth of no. 3 - the sums just didn't add up anymore and I'd lost the zest for climbing that corporate ladder. Fortunately I had the choice to give up when I wanted to - just - by learning to make do and mend - a new concept for me.

I now look after my little darlings full time and occasionally write about our family life in the Irish Independent. I'll be posting any articles as I go along.

I really hope you too can take 5 minutes out from time to time to join me along the way, and I'd love to hear any feedback - good or bad! Just post a comment or email me at katetakes5@gmail.com.
