I’m Geraldine. I am the sole author of Over Heaven’s Hill, which is an Award Winning, Irish Parenting and Lifestyle blog. I won the “Best Writing for an Individual Website” Award at the 2016 Irish Web Awards. I was also shortlisted in the 2017 Irish Blog Awards and a finalist in the same awards for 2016. I also made the shortlist for the 2017 Maternity and Infant Awards
I am in my thirties and mother to a quick witted and fierce 4 year old. We also had baby number two, a beautiful baby girl, born in May 2017.
I have worked for the past 12 years as a Medical Librarian in the Nursing and Midwifery sector, having recently resigned from this position in January 2018 to pursue working from home as a freelance writer and general dogsbody to our two kids.
I am a Writer and Crafter by nature, a Graphic Designer by chance, an all round SciFi nerd and lover of Robots and Steampunk. But most of all I am a wife and a mother, and blissfully happy with my lot.
Being a mother has changed me and my perspective on life. I’m becoming someone I didn’t know I could be and while I’m enjoying the journey, I’m slightly terrified too. I am becoming the new me through parenting
I have a BA (hons) in English Literature and Greek and Roman Civilisation, a PgDip in Information and Library Studies and a Diploma in Sub-Editing and Design.
I am currently broadening my writing horizons and writing for others outside of my blog. I have written for Family Friendly HQ, Mumsonline.ie, Easy Parenting Magazine, Mums & Tots Magazine, Maternity and Infant Magazine, Irish Health Hour and BabyGaga.
If you’re an editor looking for content, please drop me an email.
I’d love to hear from you so please do Get in Touch. I’m open to Editorial Opportunities, PR Opportunities for Reviews, Freelance Writing, Sponsored Posts, Graphic Design and WordPress Site Maintenance. If you would like an Over Heaven’s Hill Media Kit, please send me a message.

Finally, check out Sinéad Feeney, photographer, who snapped the awesome pic of a 9 month old which I use as my Blog Header. Sinéad is an incredible photographer and if you are ever thinking of organising a photo shoot in your own home, I highly recommend her!
