It’s always so nice to be considered an expert in a topic you are passionate about. How to create a magical Ireland family vacation is that topic for me, so I was honored to be interviewed by Michelle Donaghue, a contributor at Well Traveled Kids. Michelle had found my site Ireland Family Vacations as she […]
The Most Magical Ireland Castle Itinerary for Families
Ireland is my happy place. It’s the place I go every chance I get. Where my belief in magic is revitalized. Where my imagination comes to life. And where I hope to live in content semi-retirement (sooner rather than later). Over at my site Ireland Family Vacations I work hard to inspire families to plan their […]
Create an Irish Pub Atmosphere at Home
St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. Unfortunately, I won’t find myself anywhere near Ireland this year (though that is on my bucket list of fun family vacations!) What I will be doing, however, is hosting our annual Feast of St Patrick. Complete with corned beef, black pudding, tasty Colcannon and numerous other treats, I’ll be creating an […]
Expert Advice for Your Ireland Family Vacation
Though I am not officially an “Ireland Expert”, I probably know more about family travel in Ireland than your average family travel blogger. In fact, I publish a site called Ireland Family Vacations- the only website devoted entirely to family travel in Ireland. At Ireland Family Vacations I cover everything from planning a magical Ireland vacation […]
Offaly, the King’s County of Ireland
On a map you’ll find County Offaly right in the center of Ireland. Named for the kingdom of Uí Failghe, Offaly was once called King’s County. Now County Offaly is often bypassed as tourists drive through the county’s stunning Slieve Bloom Mountains to Ireland’s west coast after arriving in Dublin. Apparently they don’t know what they […]
Sights from the Fermanagh Lakelands for #IGTravelThursday
County Fermanagh, in Northern Ireland, doesn’t draw the casual tourist. But the sights to be discovered as you drive through the Fermanagh Lakelands are just as incredible as those you will see anywhere else. Our drive around Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, revealed ancient places, nature in force, and stunning craftsmanship. This […]
5 Fun Things to Do in Ireland With Kids
Ireland is, hands down, my favorite place in the world. While I plan our return to her shores I asked Leigh Maher, owner of the online Celtic jewelry store: Irish Celtic Jewels, to share his top 5 kid-friendly tips. On his blog, he shares tips and information about all things Irish, including jewelry, weddings and […]
The English Market and Farmgate Cafe, Cork, Ireland
The day we visited Cork City we had many plans for outdoor adventures. Unfortunately that is also the day that the “sunny south east” of Ireland saw snow for the first time in 15 years. So while the weather deterred us from a walking tour of Cork City it did allow us more time to […]
Killarney for Kids: Mystical Rose B&B, Dining and Handy Hints
We spent 4 days and 3 nights around Killarney. There is a reason this is one of Ireland’s tourist hot-spots – there is so much to do! We didn’t even scratch the surface. Kid friendly doesn’t even begin to describe all you can do in and around Killarney. We had actually planned to spend our […]
Glendine House B&B, Arthurstown, County Wexford, Ireland
We spent two nights at Glendine Country House during our last trip to Ireland. If you are traveling from Dublin the trip will take approximately 3 hours. If you are coming from Waterford City Glendine House is only 10k via car ferry (a great adventure for little ones!) We arrived at Glendine House quite tired […]
