Veronica is in Skirt Magazine!


If you haven't already picked up your copy of April's Skirt Magazine, check it out!
Veronica is the featured girl in their "Girl Power" section. We are so proud of her. I had emailed Nikki to tell her about Mary Taylor, the director of NaFidleiri before we went to Ireland. She emailed back saying she was interested in talking with Veronica. One afternoon last month, Margaret, one of their writers, and Leigh Webber, one of Skirt's photographers, came out to meet her. It was lots of fun.
I took a photo of the article but you will have to pick it up to read it.

Fiddling In O'Shea's Pub

The kids of NaFidleiri had the experience of a lifetime last night. We hit the famous pub, O'Shea's for a concert after our dinner at the hotel. The kids are having such a great time.


A gentleman at the bar told me that this pub has music and Irish dancing 362 days a year! I asked why not 365 but he only gave me a smile and a wink. Any ideas what that could mean?


Across the street from O'Shea's is the oldest pub in all of Ireland. I didn't go in but this is what it looks like! The Brazen Head...what a great name! If you want to learn more about it's history they have a cool website. Just click on the name.






Some locals came in looking for some Irish dancing and they got it.
Isn't this just amazing!! These kids will never forget this! Mary Rocks.





This is Mary's husband, Rob. It was a great night...CHEERS!

What kind of MM are YOU?

Last night our family had a little fun and created MM characters. It is the cutest website and we all had a great laugh over it!


This is me! There were so many choices but I went with the wind-blown hair look and visor when I drive around town in my convertible. Choosing just one accessory was hard for me. I went with the obvious choice, the camera but there were so many others I could have used too.

This is my husband, Mark. He is a musician so we have him serenading with flowers in his hand! He loves to bring home flowers for his ladies!

Meet AJ, our oldest son. He is 15, just got is learners permit to drive and yes he does have braces!

This is Veronica. She is 12 and rocks as a violin player. If you are local check her out in the APRIL addition of Skirt magazine. She is featured in the Girl Power section. We leave for Ireland this weekend where she will be performing with the group NaFildleiri in Dublin, Galway and Shannon! She wants everyone to know that she picked the teddy bear because she loves animals, she has long hair and the tiara looked pretty. She loves the warm weather and prefers flip flops to sneakers!


So, what kind of MM are you? Make your own character at Becomeanmm
