This is a blog about motherhood and feminism and parenting. It’s about me, being a mother and being a feminist. It’s also occasionally about other things, because it’s mine, and it can be whatever I want it to be.

Auditioning for All Saints , twenty years too late.
Not easy getting out of bed this morning, but 100% worth it. 10/10 today, despite the wind being pretty strong still. Most commonly heard phrase this morning “ it’s nicer in , than out.” #fortyfoot #outdoorswimming #seaswimmingireland #thestoics
New Year 2020. Pretty nice, I’d say.
My first ever Christmas Day swim , so think it’s actually compulsory for me to post this pic here ?
Swim spam - I’ll stop soon I promise ( maybe). Not gonna lie it was bloody cold this morning, thanks to an icy wind. Big difference from yesterday. Photo thanks to Rachel. #thestoics #seaswimmingireland #deeswimber #outdoorswimmingsociety
Week 8 : Who knew swimming in the Irish Sea on the 22nd of December would be so joyful. Hoping to get in lots more swims over the holidays. Lovely bright morning down in Seapoint today.
My top reads of the year. I think.
The sky is still beautiful , though.
Week 7 : Anatomy of a December swim. Windy. Apprehensive. Refreshed. Smug. It was a bit windy. But the water was calm enough, and I didn’t venture far from the steps. Definitely tricky getting dressed when your fingers are numb and your clothes are getting blown away. #thestoics #deeswimber #outdoorswimming

So happy I came across your blog. Such a great space for ‘and mothers’ because we are so much more than just moms. I came back to work (full time, outside of home) when my girl was only 6 months old. The looks I got, the stickers that were put on me – oh my, don’t even know where to begin. 6 months later we are both sound and happy. Best wishes from me to you lovely lady!
