Aileen Crean O'Brien is part of a programme that rewards Kenmare tourists who help out. Athy band IF have featured on the Netflix series 'Ginny and Georgia'. Brian Wilson, the legendary musician and Beach Boys co-founder died yesterday aged 82. John Lenihan had over €1,000 worth of electric fencing stolen from his farm.

In this final minisode of the season (Don't worry; there's still one more full episode on the way!), Stacy returns from Japan with tales of train travel, city-hopping, and family time. Each region had its own personality, and seeing the country through her son's eyes made the trip even more memorable. Meanwhile, Daniel's been deep in renovation mode, helping another friend prepare a nursery. The room's first iteration was a hands-on learning experience, complete with a slightly crooked level and a few design choices that didn't turn out quite as planned. Now it's time to undo, redo, and simplify, and let's just say Daniel's tolerance for anything finicky is… limited. He prefers tools that work straight out of the box, not ones that need calibration and coaxing. He and Stacy also compare notes on gardening—what's working, what's not, and why the weeds always seem one step ahead. Plus, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who tuned in this season.

Hi friend!  Are you tired of tripping over the pile of shoes or backpacks that inevitably pile up near the front door or spill out of the laundry room? Do you constantly get bogged down by the endless pile of papers that accumulate on your kitchen countertops? Do you wonder why you can't ever find the thing that you're certain you already owned?  It might not be a MESSY or an ORGANIZING problem...it might be a SYSTEM problem.  In today's episode I'm walking you through 5 simple steps for recognizing problem areas in your home that spill over into messiness and make you feel disorganized.  1. Identify your high traffic zones. Those are usually the culprits for the cogs in the wheel - the messy or unorganized places.  2. Disect the problem in that area. What's currently happening that isn't working.  3. Identify HOW you want that space to function for you. How can it work harder for you and not you for it.  4. Start making a plan for remediation - really thinking about what it is you need (or already have) in order to solve this problem.  5. Execute!  Bonus tips are included for when motivation at this stage is now the cog in your execution wheel.  Do you want help making your space feel more functional AND beautiful?

Little Luxuries:Peace and quietHigh-speed InternetGood quality coffeeNext day deliveryGrocery deliveryGood quality skincareA TV show with no adsRobot vacuum cleanersHaving an after-dinner treatAir fryerLetting Your Kids Plan Your VacationNew research suggests that allowing your kids to have a say in planning a family vacation is the way to make it better.According to a new survey, 82% of parents say their best trips happened when their kids helped with planning it.That may be why 22% have actually let their school-age child plan every detail of a vacation.⠀Moms and dads have learned that when kids are involved in planning, they help with activities (89%), and restaurants (54%), and make sure that the trip involves things their kid likes (76%).And the kids are up for the task, as 86% of them want to be more involved in planning family vacations and 53% want to plan as much of the trip as possible.So, what would a kid's dream vacation look like? It would include having a meet-and-greet with their favorite celebrity (34%), sitting in the front row of their favorite artist's concert (29%) or having backstage access at that show (27%).Riding on an amusement park parade float is another top choice (26%), along with having a meet-and-greet with their favorite cartoon characters (24%), or sitting in the front row at a professional sports game (20%).To turn a regular trip into a dream getaway, kids also want to go to fun restaurants (54%), have a chance to swim (51%), and do outdoor activities (49%).Some kids dream big, with their ultimate dream trip including a 13-day-journey across six states and five countries on an epic road trip (60%), a flight (57%) and a cruise (33%).Even parents who aren't letting their kid plan an entire vacation want to get their input and 84% say they try to take inspiration from their kids' imagination when creating a vacation.How To Avoid Post-Vacation BluesBefore you leave - Tidy up your home. Clean your sheets, empty the trash, and clear the fridge, so you get to return home to a welcoming space instead of chaos.After you return - Give yourself a day (or two) to unpack and reset before diving back into work and obligations.Keep the joy alive - Plan little treats like a night out, a new recipe, or a cozy evening at home to recreate those memorable vacation moments.Listen to the blues - If your mood lingers or you think it might be a sign of some bigger issues, consider what changes you might need to make, and reach out for help if it feels like it's more than just a passing slump.Second Date Update: Greg takes Lissa on a date in Soma. The weather was great, eh even wore shorts. Did that have something to do with her ghost?

Send us a textHey Self-Reflection family! Lira Ndifon here, and in this powerful episode, we're going beyond the buzzwords and diving deep into practical, game-changing strategies to protect and nurture your mental health, long after Mental Health Awareness Month ends.Ever feel like the world's just... a lot? Stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in that overthinking loop? Lira kicks things off by revealing the transformative power of self-reflection – your personal anchor in the chaos. She shares how this simple practice has been her comfort, her grounding force, and a vital tool when life gets heavy. And if you're struggling to navigate those tough emotions solo? She reminds you that reaching out for support is a superpower, not a weakness.This isn't just theory; it's a toolkit for your well-being. We're talking about tangible actions you can implement today:Write a letter to your past self: A profound exercise to acknowledge your journey, celebrate your resilience, and offer the wisdom you wish you had back then.Declutter your digital life: Learn why unfollowing that one draining account (yes, even if it's mine!) is a non-negotiable for your peace of mind.Embrace the power of silence: Just five minutes. No notifications, no music, no scrolling. Discover what your mind and body tell you in stillness.Revisit your happy place: Dive back into that old song, show, or memory that made you feel safe and seen. Let nostalgia heal and remind you how far you've come.Curb the screen time overload: Give your brain a much-needed break from constant input and discover the freedom that comes with less scrolling and more living.Affirm your worth: Speak positive affirmations out loud. Hear your own voice remind you that you are not broken, just navigating.Practice radical self-forgiveness: Release the shame and blame for how you've coped. Embrace compassion and remind yourself that growth takes time.Tidy your sanctuary: How cleaning your physical space can literally shift your mindset and invite the emotions you desire into your life.Embrace the tears: Why crying isn't weakness, but a powerful release that sets you free from trapped emotions.Do one thing just for joy: Break free from the need for productivity and indulge in an activity that simply feels good, no reason required.Lira underscores that healing isn't a tedious chore; it's a gentle, playful, lifelong journey found in the small, everyday acts of self-love. Your mental health isn't just important; it's relying on you to be human, to set boundaries, to detach from the external noise, and to embrace freedom.Don't miss this essential guide to prioritizing the most important person in your life: YOU. Remember: love yourself, like yourself, appreciate who you are, because parts of you are perfect. If not all of you is perfect.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Why is it that no one thanks you for emptying the dishwasher… but when someone else does it, it's seen as a big deal?In this episode, I'm diving into something we don't talk about enough — the mental load that women carry, especially when it comes to home organization. If you've ever wondered why decluttering feels so hard, or why tidying never seems to stick no matter how many times you try, this might be the conversation you didn't know you needed.We'll explore why asking for help at home still feels taboo, how shame creeps into our clutter, and what it really takes to create lasting change when you're short on time, energy, and support.You'll hear how I went from managing everything on my own — to building systems that actually work, and finding freedom through support, intentional routines, and a whole new perspective on home life.If you're trying to declutter with no time, tired of doing it all solo, or craving real, practical organizing support rooted in the KonMari method and real life… this episode is for you.This is about more than just tidying. It's about overcoming overwhelm, reclaiming your space, and remembering: you were never meant to do this alone.I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here. Thanks for listening!

Please be very careful today with the potentially dangerous & disastrous storms heading our way this afternoon & tonight. In the news this morning, an update on the Wisconsin judge that was arrested on Friday, an update on the storms moving into our area later today, the latest on the vehicle attack in Vancouver over the weekend, and a Wisconsin dentist shot dead over a loud-music dispute. In sports, the Brewers managed a win yesterday to snap a four-game losing streak, the Bucks lost the game last night against the Pacers and may have lost Damian Lillard for the rest of the playoffs, and a look at the rest of the NBA & NHL scores. Elsewhere in sports, a recap of yesterday's NASCAR race at Talladega, Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL draft, the person who pranked Shedeur Sanders during the draft this weekend, and Bill Belichick's GF shutting down questions during an interview. We discussed a recent Reddit survey about the dumbest reason someone is famous in the US, and we also looked at a study that determined at what age do all of your unhealthy habits catch up with you? Plus, a couple of dog stories this morning, including a pooch who could sense that his owner had breast cancer, and wiener dog that's been living in the wild for a long time has finally been captured & is going back home to her family. Some tips for saving room in your fridge, what's on TV, and the world's first ever "sperm race" happened this weekend. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woodpecker that was doing some serious damage to a bunch of vehicles in Massachusetts, a Southwest Airlines passenger who got naked & took a juicy shit on the seat of the plane, a woman who ended up with a snake in her margarita, and a guy who was hiding weed-filled Easter eggs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tackling the age-old parenting challenge of getting kids to do their chores requires a systematic approach rather than nagging or giving up. We explore a six-step process focused on bedroom cleanup that can transform your family's approach to household responsibilities.• Breaking down "clean your room" into specific tasks like making the bed, putting clothes in hamper, and picking up toys• Creating separate lists for daily versus weekly tasks to make expectations more manageable• Letting children choose when they'll complete their chores (morning, evening, specific days for weekly tasks)• Setting up clear consequences tied to things kids value rather than making up punishments in the moment• Working as a team with your children to create the system rather than imposing it on them• Taking a focused approach by solving one area at a time rather than trying to fix all chore problems simultaneouslyTry this approach with bedrooms first, then apply what works to other areas of your home. Remember we're experimenting together with our kids to find what works for our unique family.LINK to "Energy Drain Ideas" on Mary's website: ENERGY DRAIN IDEASEmail me at info@parentingdecoded.com or go to my website at www.parentingdecoded.com.

Dana K White, the creator of A Slob Comes Clean, and author of many books on how to go from chaotic and cluttered brings such a unique perspective to Episode 126 of the Restoriaton Home. At the core of her message is the gospel truth that being clean and tidy doesn't bring you any closer to God, and being messy and chaotic doesn't push you farther away from Him. As Dana says: this isn't an excuse to have a messy house, but it should remove shame and remind us that nothing we do or don't do can add or detract from God's love for us and presence in our lives.  As we deal with the shame around whatever perceived lack we are operating in, we can begin to build those small habits and changes that will transform our external world to be more orderly, peaceable, and pleasant to be in. Dana's website, books, and Instagram are full of simple, gentle ways to start transforming your life one small piece at a time.  God is not in a rush with our process and neither should we be.  This podcast is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

Richie Norton takes creative liberties to apply and adapt the concepts of home decluttering to life and entrepreneurship.

Your Value-grade or value-grading is a term I coined to describe the hierarchy of value that entrepreneurs offer to customers.  I started thinking about grades of value over quality when one of our clients at Prouduct asked about the quality of a sample. We quickly realized that our language around quality and the language of our Chinese supplier around quality were different.

IntroductionSo, you're curious about having a one-night stand. I'm glad you're here! I've had a few in my time; some very successful, some less so. Whether this will be your first one or you're a regular wondering how to make casual sex work better for you, I've compiled everything I know to write this ultimate guide to having the best one-night stands ever.The main difference in preparation depends on the sexes of the partners involved and whether it's going to take place at your house or theirs. Because I'm a cis-gendered female who mostly has sex with men, this article is geared towards heterosexual couples. But I hope that no matter the genitals of you or your partner, you'll find something helpful here. Let's dig in!Before: How To Prepare for a One-Night Stand* Find someone you're attracted to: If you're not attracted to this person, don't even bother going through with the rest of everything else. This night is about you having fun, not pleasing other people.* Set clear expectations with yourself: Decide what you want to get out of this night and if you have any clear boundaries. Do you want to have penetrative sex (penis in an orifice, either vagina or butt) with them? Where is this one-night stand going to take place? Do you want to stay over, or are you going to take your ass home in an Uber at 4 am?* Prioritize your needs first: I'm adding this here because I'm terrible at doing this. As soon as I find a guy who I want to have sex with, I lose all sense of my needs and life priorities. So, be realistic for a moment: Do you have anything you need to get done the day after your one-night stand? The point is to make sure you're caring for your general well-being and not just dropping everything for a random dude you will never see again.* Plan your sleep: There's evidence that women need more sleep than men. How well do you sleep in someone else's bed or having someone in your bed? Can you survive on three hours, or would you be better off with eight? Even if you don't know exactly because this is your first one-night stand, just take a guess, and then you'll learn whether you were right or wrong after the experience.* Set clear expectations with your partner: Communicate with them if you can. Plan where you are going to do this. If it's at your house, is your partner allowed to sleep over? Do you need them out of the house by 10 am so you can go to your yoga class?* Be honest with yourself about your true intentions: If you have feelings for this person and would like to have anything more than a one-hit wonder with them, stop right there. Having sex with them is not going to fix anything. Be sure to do the feelings check-in I've included below.* Plan your alcohol and drug intake: You don't want to be too drunk or high for your one-night stand. Know your limits. A couple of drinks is probably fine if you've eaten, but you do not want to be completely blackout. Bad things can happen, and you need to have your wits about you so you can get the hell out of there at a moment's notice. Plus, sex when you're super wasted is not very enjoyable.* Plan to meet somewhere where you feel comfortable: Don't schlep yourself across the city to a place you don't know. Make this person come to you, like to your favorite lively local bar, or go to a party together where you know a couple of people.* Consider using a highly effective form of birth control: I'm talking about an implant or an IUD, i.e., a coil. Whatever sex you have is going to be a lot more enjoyable when you're not worried about getting pregnant. I have the Hormonal IUD, which I love because it is super effective for preventing pregnancy for up to eight years, and it stops my painful periods, which is a faff that I don't want to have to deal with. If you're already using the pill for your “acne” or some other form of birth control, good for you!If the one-night stand will take place at your house, here are some other tips you might want to consider:* a) Prepare your sex toys & condoms: I'll get more into this later, but you'll want any vibrator, lube, butt plug, and fun stuff on hand. Be sure to have multiple condoms, at least three.* b) Wash your bedsheets, if possible: There's nothing like banging in a clean bed.* c) Have clean towels on hand: Some men I've had sex with will literally sweat through multiple layers of sheets. It's insane, and yes, your bedroom will be destroyed.* d) Have a bit of alcohol in your house: You may or may not want to keep a bottle of wine or beer on hand at home. I don't like to drink that much, but you and your partner might want to.* e) Tidy your house: This is totally optional, but this helps me have less anxiety, at least.If the one-night stand will take place at their house, this might help:* a) Pack the essentials: This might be hard depending on the size of your purse or bag, but see if you can bring your toothbrush, deodorant, a contact lens case (essential if you wear contacts like me), and maybe even a change of shirt for the morning after. You're not bringing your toiletries bag, just the bare basics so that you don't lose your mind.* b) Subtly bring a toy and condoms with you: You could bring a small bullet vibrator in your bag or invest in a Vesper necklace, which is a beautiful piece of jewelry that also doubles as a vibrator. Yay, secret pleasure! And also, stuff a couple of condoms in your bag.Before you proceed, do a feelings check-in.What if I have feelings for my one-night-stand partner?Be honest about whether you have feelings for this person before you have sex with them. I may sound old-fashioned, but my honest advice is: do not have a one-night stand with someone if you have feelings for them. You will just end up having your heart broken. Having casual, easy sex with someone is not going to make someone fall in love with you. In fact, the sex of the one-night stand is basically over in a minute, and that is the end. It's a quickie one-and-done.What if I'm not sure if my one-night-stand partner has feelings for me or not, or I'm not sure what their intentions are?Just be wary of men you actually like or might want to have a relationship with. If you're not sure about your partner's intentions and you might want something more serious with them, my advice is to wait to have sex. You can still fool around with them but try to keep your clothes on.I've had a couple of experiences where I found myself in bed with a guy I liked, and I wasn't sure about his intentions with me. In this case, I like to refuse to have sex with them and see how it plays out. When we part ways, we either never speak again, or we continue our relationship and get to know each other better. By then, we're beyond a one-night stand and have a slightly longer, more meaningful relationship.This is only for partners you might have feelings for or want something more serious with. If you don't want that, and you just think they're hot and want to have some quick casual sex, keep reading!What if I don't have feelings for my one-night stand partner?That's awesome! This is probably the ideal scenario. When you're both using each other to have a damn good time, no one has to feel bad about it. I've heard many women say that they feel guilty or get attached when they have sex with someone. This isn't always the case for me. I tend to get attached to someone I have sex with when I have feelings for them. But if I just think they're hot, and this experience truly is not going anywhere, then f**k it! I'm just in it for the sex, and I won't be messaging them the next day, and that's that.During: What should you keep in mind during a one-night stand?* Use protection when you have penetrative sex: You're going to need protection against pregnancy and STDs. Just remember that nature is a b***h, and people can often carry STDs without having any symptoms. These STDs can cause life-long complications for women, like infertility from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) if left untreated. The challenge with one-night stands is that if you don't use protection, the situation can quickly escalate. No matter how much fun you thought you had that night, when you're taking Plan B or dealing with HPV forever, it's going to f*****g suck.* Trust your earlier intuition. I've had men promise me all kinds of things when they're trying to have sex with me. “I love you!” (They don't). “I'll love you forever.” (They won't). “That was the best b******b I've ever had.” (Well, maybe that one's true). Regardless, this is why you need to have it clear in your mind before you have your one-night stand what you are willing to do and what you want to get out of it. The wrong kinds of partners will say anything to get you to have sex with them. Have your wits about you and ignore the b******t and excessive sweet talk.* Prioritize your pleasure: It is very important that you, as a female, also experience sexual pleasure and orgasm, if you so choose, during this one-night stand. The statistics around female pleasure for first-time hookup sex are pretty dire. As Dr. Laurie Mintz shares in her fantastic book, “Becoming Cliterate,” “55 percent of men versus 4 percent of women said they usually reach orgasm during first-time hookup sex!” Boo. We can do better than that! Basically, the most important thing to remember is that having sexual intercourse (putting the penis in the vagina) is NOT the most reliable route to orgasm for most females. Sexual intercourse is basically for the male orgasm only. Also, men want to please women. So, how can you have pleasurable sex? “Almost 45 percent of women said their most reliable route to orgasm was intercourse coupled with clitoral stimulation.” I've written a whole article about female orgasms. Here are the most important points for your one night stand:* Mimic the way you pleasure yourself when you're with a partner: That's why I recommend having your toys on hand at your house or bringing your Vesper necklace to your partner's house. Basically, get your partner to assist you using the masturbation techniques that already work for you and that you know you like.* Get the guy to pleasure you in ways that you like but find difficult, if not impossible, to do to yourself: As I mentioned in the article, a tiny amount of butt stuff from my male partner, coupled with clitoral stimulation from my hand or a toy, does the trick very easily for me.* Take your time: You've got all freaking night. What's the rush? If you're a guy reading this article, make it clear to your female partner that her enjoying herself is important to you and that you'll be patient.* Remember that oral sex and “foreplay” is the female's main course: “Quoting Ian Kerner, author of the how-to oral sex manual for men She Comes First, “Most men consider cunnilingus an aspect of foreplay, an appetizer to be served before the main meal of genital intercourse.” However, it's crucial to understand that this “appetizer” is actually the main course for many women—it's the way they orgasm!” (Read “Becoming Cliterate” and “She Comes First”).* Go all out: This is my favorite tip! You've found someone with whom you can safely explore sexual stuff, and then you'll never see again, so seize the moment! Why not experiment, explore, and try stuff you've always wanted to try? Take a bath. Try a new position. Try chocolate or food in bed. Of course, ask your partner what they're comfortable with trying (I always shamelessly ask for a bit of butt stuff, obviously.) And if you're having a good time, or you think they're hot, say so! My best one-night stand was when a guy in Newcastle told me how much he loved my bush, and he ate me out for ages. It was so hot!* Make sure you pee after sex: You might already know this, but don't forget. It's great for helping avoid UTIs, etc.* Get your beauty sleep: You deserve to be a functioning human the next day. It's time to get some rest. If you know that you'll totally struggle to sleep, feel free to call yourself or them an Uber.The Morning After: What should you do after a one-night stand?* Prioritize your health and vitals: While one-night stands can be fun, they can be very depleting in terms of your basic needs. After you're all done, take time to shower, eat, get some sleep, and rest yourself back to health. Consider drinking a Gatorade or Electrolit to get hydrated. If you're feeling super depressed, try to do some light exercise, like going for a walk, and just know that this feeling will pass. Being hungover and sleep-deprived is a recipe for feeling like s**t!* Only have brunch with your partner if you want to: You can keep hanging out, getting coffee or food, or let him cook you breakfast, but just remember that you don't owe this person anything. Don't feel any pressure to keep hanging out with them. Only keep them around if you want to.* Clean your house: Depending on how much of a witch you are, you might want to wash your bedsheets, open all the windows to air things out, and sage-cleanse your house
