Mod Mob: Happy Friday


Happy Friday lovely Modettes. We have had so much fun this week with the blog, getting to grips with the tweet box, coming to know the very red and cuddly Rex from T-Rex Custom Clothes, and mostly, connecting with you, our trusty members of the mob. Thanks again for all your comments, likes and shares. It's early days for us yet so we appreciate your support and advice while we are figuring it all out. 

Do you have any exciting events or plans? Emma will be spending her weekend shopping with Mr Dyson for a new lap-top complete with web-cam, so we can finally have that long overdue catch-up on video-chat, and I can see her cheeky face. I will be ferrying the boys to play-dates and soccer games and in between all that searching for the perfect dress for a St. Patrick's Night Ball. I am searching for something shortish, not too risque, in emerald green, and as I know you are a stylish bunch any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

That brings me to what you can expect from Mod Mob next week. Of course us both being from Ireland, we are working on a Paddy's theme, but expect no shamrocks or shillelaghs here, we aim to bring you all that is current, bright, and beautiful, from our beloved isle.  

So as it is Friday here are this weeks favourites from around the web....


a cool parenting tip

super cool greetings cards

easy framing tricks

Russia's Eurovision entry

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and don't forget to join us next week for all that is bright,beautiful, and Irish.

Mod Mob: Weekend Bliss

Sometimes it seems there is always so much to do and so little time to do it!
Brenda and I were chatting during the week about the everyday stresses life can bring sometimes. You know the score. House hunting, teething baby, sleepless nights, work, man troubles.... just a few examples of what life can throw at us all. Sometimes all at once!

So here's wishing you all a relaxing and enjoyable weekend....


Take at least one hour in your day to light your favourite candle, take a long relaxing soak in the bath. Enjoy the peace and calm....

As I have no idea (yet), how to deal with a teething baby we would welcome any advice from our Mum's out there too! My advice. A Gin and tonic. Large.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone,

Have a beautiful weekend


Have a beautiful weekend everyone. Do you have exciting plans ? Emma is jetting off with her love to the gorgeous Alpe D'Huez in France to hit the slopes. I'm sure there will be plenty of stolen kisses on the chair-lift and lot's of snuggling during apres-ski. I am also planning to hit the slopes here in New England, however, I will be joining the ski-mice on the local junior slope for my first lesson. I am already pitying my poor posterior. 

Thank you all so much for your support so far. We have had lots of fun this week, and are looking forward to checking in with you all on Monday for the first of our Valentine travel specials from Emma.

Keeping in line with our Valentines theme, here is a fun link from Lovehearts to play around with over the weekend. It even has a love meter.....



see you soon,


Emma and Brenda x
