Amelie and Dylan Toddle for Barnardos

Our competition searching for your best travel tips is up and running. You could win a €150 prize for Studioworks Photography in Dalkey to capture some special relaxed family shots. To enter read the blog 'Studioworks Photography Competition' and leave a comment.



Recently my husband and I decided that we wanted to do something together to give back a little to the community in which we live. We both love to volunteer but as our lives are now so busy with Amelie, working, blogging ;) and trying to have quality family time together we have found that we seem to be all about us and a little less about helping others. We discovered a great opportunity to take part in the Big Toddle for Barnardos and set about registering our own team and hosting our very first charity event for Barnardos and the local Cuidiu Toddler Group we go to each week.

All over Ireland thousands of toddlers are in training for the Big Toddle for Barnardos. We have decided to join forces with one of Amleie and Dylan's favourite playgroups the Cuidiu in Glenageary to help raise much need funds for Cuidiu and Barnardos. 25% of what we raise will go to Cuidiu and the other 75% to the wonderful children's charity Barnardos.
Over the past seven years the event has raised a total of €2 million euro and seen more than 112,500 children participate. The funding has enabled Barnardos to continue its work with more than 5,500 children and their families each year. Neighbours, friends and family can sponsor toddles online. Amelie and Dylan both have their own online sponsorship pages or you are welcome to sponsor us as a team Glenageary Cuidiu. The website also provides information on how to organise a toddle and there is still time to register and host a Toddle this summer.

Happy toddling to all,
