About Us..... Update 2

As Sinead mentioned in the earlier post, the babies have indeed arrived! The birth of baby Cillian was a joyous occasion and a moment of clarity for my own impending motherhood, the reality of sitting in the labour ward hit me like a slap in the face.
The following weeks were filled with rigorous stock piling of baby supplies that would put any doomsday prepper to shame, assembling flat pack furniture and general running around like a headless chicken!
The due date finally rolled around, we were on red alert. Going to bed that night, a million different thoughts whirred through my mind as I drifted off to sleep, then...........
Nothing.....
Nothing happened that day, or the next day, or the day after that. Eleven days passed by. Then I was brought into hospital to be induced. After all that waiting our little baby arrived very quickly via emergency C-section.
Baby Daniel is now four months old, everyone warned me how quickly these first few months would fly by and they were right. It is an amazing feeling becoming a parent and the completion and wholeness it brings to your inner self.
As parents having to juggle life, work, relationship’s on top of raising a child, though sometimes it is overwhelming, it brings a sense of empowerment and appreciation for all the good in your life.
Now that your all up to date with us, I'm afraid its back to nappy patrol for me!

About Us....Update!!

So I thought it was about time we updated this section. Since we first wrote this post before Christmas a lot has changed. The babies are here and they have turned all our worlds upside down for the better..! I thought it would be a huge change in our house as there is a big age gap between Ryan 7 and Sean 6 and the new baby, who we called Cillian. But no as children do, they adapted very fast and after a week or two it was like Cillian had always been here. The boys absolutely adore having a little brother and when their not busy with their own hectic lives there are smothering Cillian with affection. Now that we have three boys of course all we here is "oh when are you trying for the girl" but I think as much fun as it would be to have another girl in the house and push the odds in the female favour a little bit, I think 3 boisterous boys might be enough to keep us occupied for now.. :)

I think the bigger change might be in Katie's house. Where they welcomed their first little bundle of joy in March. But I'll let Katie update you on that one when she find's the time between milking cows and bottle feeds. :)

                            Brotherly love!!

Welcome to highchairsandheels!

Hello!

Welcome to our humble little lifestyle blog high chairs and heels. We are two sisters , Katie Gleeson and Sinead Stone, from north Tipperary, Ireland. We set up this blog as a little bit of fun to share our passions in life, parenthood, fashion, beauty, food and home.
So here is a little more information about us.....


Sinead is about to enter her late 20's, and lives with her husband Ger, two little boys Ryan and Sean and terrier Betty in a small town in North Tipperary. Sinead is also adding to her brood, with baby number three arriving late January 2014. She is a qualified childcare professional and works in a local pre-school. Her interests include fashion and style trends, she has a passion for DIY and crafting and running her house like a boss!! She also pretends to be interested in all things IT for the sake of her computer obsessed husband. In real life she is semi interested in sports as her weekends consist of being a sideline supporter at the men in her life's rugby and hurling matches.

Katie is in her late 20's, and lives with her
husband Phil and golden retriever Max on the family farm in the north Tipperary countryside. She runs a small part time Hair salon from her house after ten years of working in the industry at home and abroad. Her interests include fashion and style, traveling to as many different places possible that her disposable income will allow, reading so much it inspires writing as a hobby, attempting to become a domestic goddess, intrepidly searching local shops for great bargains and enjoying her little corner of this planet with her loved ones and friends! She is also about to stumble and fumble her way through the life changing journey that is parenthood, being due her first child in mid march 2014.
