WHEELS ARE US Such a fab time yesterday catching up with friends in #coolepark #gort #galway A regular haunt of @iamlauriem I can see why. So much to explore here and so beautiful. Very #wheelfriendly spot with a #visitorcentre and #picnicarea too and much more. It’s already up on the website thanks to Laurie with lots more info 🙌 #outfamcommunity #activeoutdoors #goexplore #exploreireland #familywalksireland #ipbig #irishmammy #welovegalway
COBH A nice spot to wander around with a playground and a prom (it’s a very short one though). Town is hilly but worth the push up to the cathedral for the views. Playground more for smallies. check out @eatplaylovecork website for more info re places to eat etc. Titanic Museum here also however we didn’t visit it this time. Paid parking so bring your discs (bit of a dose in this day and age but once you’re prepared and have a stash you’re good to go) #holidaysincork #exploreireland #familywalksireland #cobh #welovecork #wanderireland #goexploretogether
One of the best pieces of advice I received from a fab counsellor many moons ago. Advice I return to again and again! Which brings me to today and embracing who I am now - me, 6’2”, a wife, a mama, a teacher, a business woman, lover of the great outdoors (and always will be) and most of all a #mentalhealthwarrior and #mentalhealthadvocate As a result I have set up a new account @thementalfitnessmama where I feel I can be more myself, have the craic and also shine a light on topics that mean a lot to me both personally and professionally. Family Walks Ireland will still remain to showcase all those #familyfriendly accessible walks in this beautiful country of ours. I will be hanging out mainly @thementalfitnessmama so do pop over and say hi if you fancy it. Sure I’d only be delira and excira if you did ❤️ #bewhoyouarenow #mmhweek2019 #youmattertoomammy #ipbig #mentalfitness #irishmammy #tallmammy
BEHIND THIS PICTURE -Today marks the start of #maternalmentalhealth week. Even though mine have grown a lot since this picture and grown out of that buggy, there is so much more behind this picture... Behind this picture was me- a mama relieved she managed to get outdoors, grateful that the sun was shining and that all was well for now. However behind this picture was a Mama who was anxious about going home-those intense feelings of isolation and self-doubt not to mention the countless worries about the past, present and future, fears about her poor ability to cope with the small and the big things. Starting Family Walks Ireland proved to be such a therapeutic outlet for me. As no matter how this mama was feeling my mission was to promote being outside with our smallies and in order to do that I had to get us all up, out and indeed outdoors. While some days proved quite challenging FWI was a saving grace for me, working on something I loved and that also provided a wonderful way to connect with my children. We had featured in an article with @dreddiemurphy the year previous (link in bio for this week) and spoke about motherhood being some sort of secret club where no-one spoke about the real struggles. However since joining IG in 2016 it has been heartwarming to hear so many other maternal mental health stories-real, authentic and without filters! This week is so important to amplify these genuine voices so that those who may think they are alone release they are not! Everyone has their story! This is mine (part of it) ❤️ #youmattertoomammy #mmhweek2019 #ipbig #makingovermotherhood #mumtribeireland #endthestigma
