There is only one week left before Valentine’s Day (I literally can’t believe it! Time is flying altogether)! I want to make sure you’re prepared. There are three words that everyone wants to hear this February 14th but that seems a bit easy doesn’t it? For that special someone who loves all things Irish, let me teach you how to say all of the important things as Gaelige (in Irish)! Is tú mo stóirín - (Is thoo muh store-een) - You are my little sweetheart! Anything with ‘ín’ at the end in Irish means ‘little’. My mother still calls me...
You’ve just come in from work or wherever. Stick on the kettle there.. Is there anything on telly? Put up your feet and relax yourself. Today’s been a long day. It’s time to get comfortable and zone out in front of your favourite movie. But you know what would make this so much better? No, not wine… although, yes actually, wine too - but I was thinking more along the lines of a really warm and cozy blanket! So you get the bottle, I’ll fetch the 100% Irish wool blanket! The truth is, there’s nothing better than being wrapped up...
Could have been the Green Bay Packers knit cap that screamed "American tourist" that Ward was wearing as we entered the Guinness Storehouse. We were quietly approached by an employee who asked if we would be interested in participating in a new tour they were testing.

Entering the Storehouse is a bit like a Galleria of Guinness. An open concept, round seven stories that mimic a pint glass. ...
So this is my first time spending the holidays away from my little home in the West of Ireland. I really enjoyed Christmas here - of course, I missed my family - but I absolutely loved seeing how Christmas is celebrated in the US and enjoying it with my new friends. However, I can already tell that I will miss New Year’s Eve at home quite a lot! Don’t get me wrong, it’ll be fun here too but New Year’s in Ireland is really special - or perhaps more specifically, New Year’s in Castlebar, Co.Mayo. When I’m at home, New...
Dear Santa, Define "good"... I think I was really good this year, although I know there’s probably a few around me that would dispute that. Okay yes, I ate all of the M&Ms out of the trail mix. The boyfriend said that sort of thing should be illegal - but it’s not.. So I’m good right? Santa, could you blame me for drowning my sister’s Furby? I think we can all agree that it was for the common good - that yolk was terrifying, even for me Santa! Please don’t let the elves make anything like that again! I don’t...
