Ask a mother how fast a year goes by. It's truly remarkable! The days are long but the weeks are fast and somehow a full year - or for me 15 months- is even quicker. My maternity leave is coming to an end and I am incredibly excited to return to your screens! While I… Continue reading Alarm Clock is Set! My Return to TV

When you travel for work having a "busy" day is an understatement. It's constant go-go-go mode and I absolutely love it. Dana who has organized this trip for us always has some chocolate on standby for me to keep me powered through the day (I'm not kidding, she's the greatest)! We fit in a ton… Continue reading #TWNinIreland Day 3 Walled City, Wild Atlantic, Castles & Tea
