Hi @steemama and welcome to Steemit. I feel we have a few things in common :) I live in Ireland (but not Irish) but hoping to become worldschoolers with my kids soon. I am also passionate about anything concerning birth. I will be following you on your journey. I'd say Mark and his family are great neighbours to have!

Hey, nice to meet ya! I hope the Irish weather is not being too unkind, i really do miss Ireland though, maybe one day I go back, will check out your blogs, yep mark and his family are great, lovely neighbourhood, and changing all the time, transient as it is ;-)
Where in Ireland are you from? I live in Mayo at the moment, near Castlebar, but we'll be hitting the road in March/April to visit as many events as we can promoting Steemit. I am not planning on staying here in Ireland for much longer, so I want to see what we can before we go, since it will probably be some time before we come back again, and wouldn't want to miss the opportunity. There are soooo many places we haven't been to yet, so enough to do! No, the weather has been truly horrible since about two weeks. It hasn't stopped raining! Today we actually had some sun...it lasted about 10 minutes! I love the little house you built. It's my plan too to start minimizing slowly. Get rid of what we don't need, sell, donate etc. so we don't have to worry about dragging along too much stuff. 4 kids, two big dogs and 3 cats is enough ;)
Wow 4 kids! amazing, with two I can hardly imagine :-)and 5 animals, great, much respect! you'd need a bus to move them all (totally possible!). Sorry to hear about the crap weather, my mum is in wexford and has recently had hurricanes :-O. Im from Glendalough in Co. wicklow, but my Godmother lived in mayo so we spent some summers there, love it there. Hope there more sun, and if your ever passing by south Spain do drop in!
Well, I think it would be different if they were all not far apart. My eldest is 16, then the middle two are 8 and 9 and my youngest is 3. So even though each age brings its own challenges, the eldest doesn't need much 'caring' for anymore and my youngest daughter (the 9 year old) has been independent since she can walk, so she is a great help around here. My sons (the 2 youngest) never complain about anything and are very easy going, this might have something to do with the fact that they have three bossy women in the house lol, they just don't bother going against the stream! I truly wouldn't know what to do if they were any different LOL. I love Wexford, it's so pretty. I don't know Wicklow very well, only passed a few times, never really stopped or saw anything, but that can still change! When we do our 'tour' here in Ireland, we can test how this works out with all of us travelling. I have a caravan at the moment, but I'm not planning to move around in that for too long as I don't really like towing things too much. So a bus would be an option. Just have to get the license. But maybe if I can find something that's not too huge and something like an awning or something to add to the vehicle, the problem for space with the animals could be solved that way. I take it as it comes, when the time comes, all will fall into place. And if we pass by, I will definitely keep that in mind! 🤗
Super! would love to meet you all!. So you will do a Steemit tour in Ireland? my friend Aishlinn @trucklife-family here on Steemit, lived in Ireland for many years in her bus with her family, she could suggest good contacts for new Steemians/support for your trip around the cork area (and all over ireland), she moved in alternative circles there, i left there young ;-), best wishes for you and your family :-)
Yes, a Steemit tour Ireland is definitely on the books. I know @trucklife-family, and just now realize she's your neighbour there too LOL. You're all in good company :) I am really looking forward to getting on the road, it would be a nice change. We've pretty much been locked up inside the house due to the weather the last few weeks. Every time it's dry and we're outside, we either get a hail storm or terrible rain lol. It's a long winter that way. So even 'just' travelling within Ireland would be such a difference. I'll definitely ask Aishlinn for advice when the time comes. I believe our first festival we're visiting is in March, and I still have lots to do before that, so this time will fly.
Best wishes to you and the kiddies :)
