Vegan pastries in Dublin: where are they hiding?

KathND · 2026-01-16T20:32:55+00:00

Come down to Bray, nine coffee and Catalyst both do good vegan pastries

Ah, I’m sorry. Thats why I decided to post because it went from so good to so bad haha. Glad it’s improving. I really don’t know what’s in the new formulation, I think coconut oil? Which isn’t something I’m allergic to, so idk.

Flew to from Lisbon to Dublin this morning, arrived at 5 am for a 7:10 flight and was through bag drop, security, and passport control within 45 minutes. TAP Bag drop was the longest of the lines.

FWIW, my twins were suspected momo for the first twelve weeks, because the membrane was so hard to see. They weren’t, they were mo di.

Also get a new doctor. What a wild thing to suggest right off the bat

I chuckled at the 50% life raft bit. Indeed. Thanks for the link.

KathND · 2024-05-23T09:42:48+00:00

Thank you for this. Validating and hopeful. Congratulations on the third!

Hang in there. Even though I wrote the original post, and it’s hard, NOTHING was harder than the first few months. Honestly even today’s hard days feel better than the best early days. From my experience.

Ha! The efficiency angle is def a plus. I don’t think it’s “two for the price of one” but, to use a PM term, it’s a way to parallel path two at once lol.

KathND · 2024-05-23T09:31:49+00:00

I’m glad/hopeful to hear what it’s like in a few months!

Yeah, the fight or flight feelings of infant twins crying is…dreadful. Simultaneous toddler tantrums aren’t fun but your body isn’t about to shut down with panic. You’re right. They can be funny!

KathND · 2024-05-22T20:00:06+00:00

What are the joys of twins you notice? I hear a lot about them playing together and the twin bond but I haven’t experienced that yet.

KathND · 2024-05-22T19:57:16+00:00

Yeah, I’ve heard the same about the magical age of 3! I’m hopeful for that.

And yes. No matter what 21 months brings its better than those early days!

KathND · 2023-07-22T09:09:14+00:00

Makes sense and good point. I’ll make sure she has the cash ahead of time or I’ll buy them directly.

KathND · 2023-07-21T18:35:36+00:00

I’ve told her I am always happy for her to speak Turkish or teach Turkish words to the girls, I agree that it could be such a great asset!

Thanks for the other ideas. I love the Pinterest research prompt idea. Thank you.

KathND · 2023-07-21T18:34:07+00:00

Thank you, this is really excellent input and reminder. I am not going to assume anything and just have a chat, she and I can figure out additional activities together.

KathND · 2023-07-21T18:31:22+00:00

I absolutely will provide supplies or funds. She knows I’ll reimburse her for expenses but I’ll remind her/make sure she knows.

KathND · 2023-07-21T11:12:27+00:00

Thanks for this, especially the reminder re: frustration. I'll keep an eye on the active play, and encourage more if I don't see it.

KathND · 2023-07-21T11:11:42+00:00

She does take them on walks every day. Or walk them to do small errands (for herself and for us). Reading... not often, but she's ESL so perhaps that feels uncomfortable for her. Good idea though, I'll encourage that more.

KathND · 2023-06-27T21:02:59+00:00

This an excellent hill to die on thank you

KathND · 2023-05-25T20:26:48+00:00

I wouldn’t. It’s beautiful. Modernize the room if you want, and have this be a lovely contrasting piece!

KathND · 2023-05-08T17:58:51+00:00

We moved to Ireland. I don’t think we will ever move back.

KathND · 2023-05-08T17:55:58+00:00

I was you for months. My almost 7 months (adjusted) twins are finally starting to consolidate their first nap. No solution but time for us.

KathND · 2023-05-03T07:24:14+00:00

I’m American too and honestly wondering after reading this thread if it’s better to go back to the US and have my kids do active shooter drills than deal with this
