Its #LoveDonegal day today! But who needs a day to love Donegal? We don't that's for sure. We 100% love our home and feel incredibly blessed to live here surrounded by the most beautiful scenery in the world and off course the place was voted No 1 coolest place on the planet by @lonelyplanet On any good day you would swap spain for Costa Donegal, the beaches are just heaven, sometimes you'll get them all to yourself too. On a bad day, well you'll still love it just carry an umbrella. Donegal is huge all 4,861 km², it's the biggest county in Ulster and 4th in Ireland, it's quite common for people to presume Bundoran is next to Buncrana as Donegal is tiny 😂 they are an hour and half apart lol. I haven't even seen half of Donegal I'm 33, shameful I know. There is so much amazing things to explore and do, and if you take a trip to Malin head then your at the tippy top of Ireland you can go no futher #cool. And we also host the highest sea cliffs in Europe @SlieveLeague again I've yet to visit but apparently they are way more awesome than Cliffs of Moher. I've been to other countries and counties in Ireland, even the world and hands down I just love coming home. So much scenery, so much history. Green hills, blue seas, golden sands and sure the craic up here is something else. You'll never be alone in Donegal, it has the friendliest people. Don't just take my word for it, come a visit and fall in love with the hills of Donegal. So much to do for adults, families and couples. It's just absolutely perfect! Have you ever been? Where is your favourite spot? @coolestplaceontheplanet @thewildatlanticway @govisitdonegal_ @govisitinishowen @inishowengateway . . . #donegal #wildatlanticway #ireland #instadonegal #coolestplaceontheplanet #lovefordonegal #travel #travelireland #hometown #loveireland #inishowen #wondersoftheworld #igireland #malinhead #buncrana #beaches #seaside #hillsofdonegal #naturesfinest

My fave room in the house, the amount of light floods in here every day is unreal and the heat. We haven't even started this room yet, let alone be finished. I have so much I want to do for in here but I keep putting it off for fear!! Fear the wanes will wreck a new sofa, fear of building a new fire wall with tv above it, in case I don't like it and just frecking fear. I do love it as it is but just know it's got so much more potential. It's alright seeing show house homes here in Insta and pinterest with the swanky fabrics, beige rugs and stuff but in real life that cant happen unless you can throw away a few grand every few months. I frecking can't anyway, as my kids are terrors so for now, I will continue looking for my perfect child friendly sofa and hopefully pluck up the courage to finish this place before the snow falls. . . . #orangery #theorangery #livingroom #sittingroom #rooflantern #skypod #skylantern #rooflight #extension #realinstahomes #myhomedecor #myhomevibes #interiorsblog #silestone #yukon #myviewtoday #irishselfbuild #selfbuildireland #selfbuildblog #interiors #keepingitreal #happyplace #instahome #homesofinstagram

Update on Tegans room, I picked up these little side tables at @bm_stores today for only £20. They had wee wooden legs so I got a tin of rose gold from @aldi_ireland and transformed them to tie in with he funky colours going on in her room. I gathered little quotes and sayings this last while for her to read as she walks out the door. Pity I'm a shite photographer and can't get the whole room😂 The before picture of table is on my story ❤ . . #teenagebedroom #girlsroom #girlsbedroomideas #funkybedroom #myhome #teenagerstyle #irishhome #idealirishhome #realinstahomes #instahome #pinkbedroom #pinkroom #bandmbargains #dunelmmill #mydunelm #dunelmbedding #homesense #homesensefinds #therangeuk #pinkandgreyroom #ourfamilyhome #irishselfbuild #upcycle #diy

Today I held my 13 year old in my arms and hugged her tightly as she cried, because other girls were making fun of her on snapchat for posting a picture of her self. She was taughted for her figure, she felt so humiliated, she questioned her photo and she asked me will I just remove it. I told her no! You are you, you are beautiful inside and out! (Plus she has an amazing figure, I'd kill for it) You shoud not feel the need to explain yourself and justify your photo. I felt so sorry for her, shes only 13. When I was 13 we had the piss taking of us at school but went home and we soon forgot it, but these days that piss taking happens at home, when kids are lonely, vulnerable and isolated. It's not on!! Its actually scary! I have a great relationship with Tegan, she let's me read her messages when I want, she tells me everything and all the goss thank god, but I can only imagine what it would be like if we didn't share everything. How alone she would have felt? and embarrassed and who would she talk to? Social media is so extremely dangerous, I'm so thankful I grew up in a era without it but so terrified for my kids growing up in a era with it. I tell them no matter what anyone says to you, wash it off like a duck to water. You do you, don't explain yourself to anyone. Block and delete! That's the best way! And I tell them always, if you cant say anything nice, say nothing at all. To mind their own business and be nice always! I know kids are kids, they don't think what they say will hurt someone. Its actually one of the worst feelings, seeing your daughter upset over something so silly that spiralled out of control. Everybody is beautiful, skinny, fat, big boobs, no boobs, big ass, zero ass! Acne, no acne! Everyone is unique and nobody should be ashamed or embarrassed of their body, photos or life no matter what age! P.s I spoke to the girls & they have apologized and said it won't happen again. Girls just got carried away and caught up in the laughs with their friends. Its mad how easily things happen

I spent the whole afternoon here, it's my new favourite place in the whole entire world and it's right out my back garden. I cleared all the fallen branches/twigs and added a few steps so I can get there with out breaking my leg, it's down about 4 foot. I'm going to add a wee swing, a hammock, some fairy lights and a few wee seats. It's going to be my new office, my secret Den. It's totally sheltered with trees, no need to worry about the weather. Its just so amazing. I love the sound of the water and trees swishing, so calming, relaxing and serene. I'm hoping it will be very therapeutic and will draw out my creative juices and let the words flow onto the pages for my next chapter.
