Happy 1st birthday to my squishes Blaise and Theo 🤍🤍 In one way what a fast year, filled with happy memories, ups and downs and plenty of tears believe me. This pandemic has taught us all lots of lessons. I have connected with so many people through Instagram and the kindness and lovely messages I get daily is overwhelming and so appreciated. Thinking of anyone struggling at the moment. I know on these very joyous occasions I miss my sister so much. She would be so so proud of these two boys. ❤️ Thank you Karen @robin_hill_photography for capturing their 1st birthday pics . . . . . #housebythewhitethorns #twinsturnone #happybirthday #happy1stbirthday #twinboys #cakesmash #irishmum #irishblog

Lots of looking back over the past year this week. Blaise and Theo almost 1 year 😭. And reels weren’t even on the radar , so I’m putting this up. We painted the kitchen about a week before their birth. Now the walls contain all their little handprints as they learn how to walk. Time really does fly by. Walls painted in hardwick white @farrowandball and doors downpipe. Happy Saturday These lamps are cordless from @neptunehomeofficial @trevor_morrow_ltd I think we all know by now I love them 😂 . . . . . #kitchendesign #diningtable #diningarea #hardwickwhite #instahome #irishinteriors #irishhomestyle #irishhomes #memories #reelsinstagram #reels #rusticdecor #countrycottage #countryliving #cottagecoreaesthetic #interiorsketches #interiorsireland #housebythewhitethorns #myhomevibe #neutraldecor

The Essentials Collection @pestleandmortarcosmetics 🤍 Clean, clinical and effective daily skincare for all the family, paediatrician and midwife approved for that delicate baby skin ☁️ The body wash is enriched with oat kernel which soothes and softens the skin without that dry, tight feeling. What I really love is the body cream , works wonders on knees and elbows for dry skin (really good results pre and post tan application for me). You can use my code sarah21 at the checkout to choose a free gift when you purchase a product from the essentials collection. What a truly beautiful Irish skincare brand ☘️ . . . . #pestleandmortarcosmetics #sp #irishskincarebrand #essentialscollection #cleanandeffectiveskincare #delicateskin #irishmum #irishblog

Nothing like an easy one pot stew. It has mostly rained here today and as I far as I can see everywhere else has been basking in the sun. What is going on ????? Recipe 1kg braising / stewing beef cut into cubes Olive oil for sautéing 4tblsp flour Sea salt 4 carrots roughly diced 1 parsnip roughly diced 1 butternut squash roughly chopped in cubes 1 large white onion sliced 4 cloves garlic sliced whole 1 can of Guinness 1 beef stock cube. 250ml hot water 1 packet of bacon lardons or chopped pancetta . 4 tablespoons of tomato purée. Fresh thyme sprigs. Preheat oven To 150°C. Coat the beef cubes in flour and season. Heat oil in casserole dish on hot hob (I used my le creuset). Lightly brown beef all over. Remove from Casserole dish and place meat aside on a plate. Over a medium heat on the hob. In the same casserole dish add some more oil and sauté the onion, bacon, garlic, carrot parsnip and butternut squash. Add back in the meat pour over the can of Guinness and add the stock cube to the hot water and pour over also . Add 4 tablespoons of tomato purée. Stir altogether, add some sprigs of fresh thyme. Add lid to casserole dish. Place in oven at 150C for approx an hour or until beef is tender and falls apart. Serve with potatoes or brown rice and lots of buttered crusty bread to soak up the juices * you can switch Guinness for extra stock or use some red wine with beef stock too. . . . #comfortfood #irishstew #stew #braisingbeef #cosyandwarm #foodforthefamily #mystewrecipe #housebythewhitethorns #familydinners #irishfoodie #irishfoodies #deliciousfood #cookwithme #freshthyme #heartyfood #huginabowl #foodofinstagram #homeeconomics #homeeconomist #homeeconomicsteacher
