Welcome to Simply Homemade. I am Nicola, a mum of five from Co. Wexford. This is, my little corner of the internet where I am sharing a wealth of perfect imperfection.

Simply Homemade, by name alone, is a real representation of my family and I,  and the life we live. Our home is the the heart of it all.

Have a look around, perhaps you’ll find a recipe you would like to try, a book you would like to read, a diy project to undertake or maybe you would just like to read one of the many topical pieces I have written. I hope you find something you like and stay around a while. You are very welcome to my online home.
