We are what we repeatedly do 📙📖

by Ms.Mills

This poem has a very simply message. Change one thing and see how different things can be 🌟

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost… I am helpless.

It isn’t my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe I am in the same place.

But, it isn’t my fault.

It still takes me a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I still fall in. It’s a habit.

My eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault. I get out immediately.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

I walk down another street.

Sweet treats for a sweet young lady on her special day 🍰🎂

by Ms.Mills

An early start this morning, my beautiful little cousin had her confirmation today at home in Donegal. With an electric whisk at the ready and plenty of chocolate on standby, I whipped up a few delicious treats for her big day. Given someone the present of homemade treats is a great way to put your personal stamp on a special day. Chocolate biscuit cake, homemade honeycomb ice cream, homemade vanilla ice cream, malteser cheesecakes, fresh fruit pavlova and mum’s sherry trifle is on the menu.

Recipe for no fuss ice cream 🍨🍦
500mls double cream
175g caster sugar
300mls custard (ready made)
4egg whites
1 vanilla pod

-Whisk egg whites in a large bowl with 1/2 the sugar (87.5g) until it has formed stiff peaks( inverted bowl test)
-Whip the double cream with the remaining sugar until stiff
-Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrap out the vanilla seeds and place into the cream mixture.
-Whisk in the custard into the cream
-Fold in the egg white mixture
-place the mixture into a steel bowl covered with tin foil or an air tight container with a lid.
-Do not shake mixture just poor in.
-Place in freezer overnight or if you are fortunate to have an ice cream maker place in for 50minutes.

*Perfect on a hot day with a wafer cone (no need for those 99’s) 

     

    

        

Saol an teaghlaigh -enjoying the little things

The ladies in first year have been asked to create a short movie on their opinion of what their definition of a family is, what are the functions of familes and what are the roles and responsibilities of each family member in their household.

So far we have a few flipagrams to get us started and the girls have gathered a few images of what symbolises home to them.

“The need to be right all the time is the biggest bar to new ideas. It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong than to be always right by having no ideas”

🍩 worry 🐝 happy

by Ms.Mills

Monday morning- I’m sure everyone has their “I’m ready for this week” attitude at the ready. As we have a busy few weeks ahead of us it is important to remember that there are three choices in life ladies, you can either give up, give in, or give it your all. People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing- that’s why it is recommended daily. Chin up, you have come so far already.
