Weekend Web

This weekend we celebrated the wedding of one of our best friends. It was beautiful, heart-warming (I shed a monumental amount of tears listening to the speeches - that's nearly fifty minutes of sobbing!), and such great fun.

Emo Court House & Gardens, Co. Laois

With a two night break organised in Co. Laois to celebrate, we thought a walk and some lunch, on the second day, in Emo Court (an historic house about 10 minutes drive from our hotel) would be a good way to cure the wedding hangover! Thankfully it did, and surrounded by beautiful woodlands and gardens was definitely worth a visit.

We had the most amazing weekend, as well as being fun-filled and wonderfully restful, I also got to do some uninterrupted thinking and planning - very rare these days. And as a result decided to include another blog category called 'Weekend Web'. Taking inspiration from A CUP OF JO and HOUSE*TWEAKING (two blogs I love and got to catch up on this weekend), I'll post links on my own blog every so often to a variety of things on the web that I find helpful or interesting, or that I just love!

The list app that's been known to organise my life!

'Making history' and an amazing video by Anna Rogers. (Delighted to be able to say, I Know Her!!)

I love...

The fast-paced book I just finished that seems to be taking the world by storm.

This powdered sunscreen you can apply over make up - genius!

The cute pin I stumbled across on Pinterest this week - the week my toddler turned three.


I hope you had a lovely long weekend!

  1. Emo House looks stunning! We've a wedding to look forward to in October, can't wait, although our boys will be there so probably won't be quite as relaxing :-D PS I totally forgot about those books (I have a brain like a sieve) I'll give Emma a shout and drop them up to her hopefully during the week.
