A Day in Dublin – Seeing the Best the City has to Offer in Less than 24 Hours

February 28, 2018 by Kathryn 12 Comments

When my husband and I flew into Dublin to spend ten blissful days exploring the country of Ireland, we knew we were in for an incredible experience. And I couldn’t have been happier that our journey started near the capitol, so that we would get the chance to spend a day in Dublin before we headed off across the country.

Our castle hotel was in the Dalkey region and on our first day, we napped to get over our jetlag and then spent the rest of the day wandering through the picturesque spot. The quaint shops, ocean view and towering Dalkey Castle had us falling in love with Ireland immediately. But we were even more excited to dive into the heart of Dublin the next day, and we planned our excursion carefully so that we’d be able to make the most of our visit.

Getting Around

Even though we had a rental car, we were informed at once that driving in downtown Dublin is not a great idea. The streets are just too crowded, and parking is minimal. Instead, we took the DART to the downtown station and then got passes for the Dublin Hop on Hop off Bus Tour. This tour travels to over twenty different spots, visiting all the most popular landmarks in the city. And, as an added bonus, the bus features a tour guide that shares facts about the city and its top attractions along the way. [Read more…]

Invite a Magical Friend to Your House with The Irish Fairy Door Company-Giveaway

November 8, 2016 by Kathryn 67 Comments

One of the things I loved most about Ireland was the eerie fairy tale-like quality of so many of its areas. Of course, most fairies originated in Ireland and when you’re driving through the winding roads surrounded by rock walls and trees, it’s easy to see why the magical sprites loved the area so much! While at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, we even had the chance to walk through a fairy village and see the homes of some of the country’s most popular residents. And I couldn’t help but wish we could bring a little fairy magic back to Canada with us when we left.

Luckily, The Irish Fairy Door Company has created a way for me to do just that! This company knows that every house is happier when a fairy lives there, and its innovative fairy doors create a way for you to invite a fairy into your house to stay. Recently I received an Irish Fairy Door and a Playtime Accessory Set to review and I was so excited to introduce my boys to the magic of an Irish Fairy. [Read more…]
