“We’ve been waiting for this new era to start. We’re about to turn the page on this next chapter in our lives,” Bláthnaid Treacy tells us as we chat for the August issue of VIP Magazine.
Bláthnaid is our fabulous coverstar for the new issue, which is on shelves nationwide around the country now.
She chats about entering a new chapter as a family of four, with her husband, musician Charlie Moon and their two children, three-year-old Nancy and nine-month-old Jack.
The family are also ready to leave their Stoneybatter house after a decade and move back to their native Wicklow.
“We made up our minds when I was pregnant last summer. In August we were in a family friend’s holiday home and there was so much space, Nancy was running around and we knew there and then we needed a change,” she tells us.
“We were trying to decide where to go and settled on Wicklow town. It has so much to offer and it’s really exciting.”
She gushes about her new home, telling us: “We grew up in Wicklow so we’ve family within the area. Where the new house is, it’s in such a quaint little village, it’s lovely.
“We were able to go into the house today and start getting measurements. We were telling the builders that we’ve been living in 64 square meters for a decade and he was like, ‘oh my God!’. We absolutely loved our house in Stoneybatter, Dublin and we’ll be so sad the day we close the doors behind us.
“That was our first home and we brought both of our babies back to that house, we had Covid in that house, there’s been so many memories, so many ups and downs. That’s how we got onto the property ladder.
“We’d both been working so hard for so many years. There was so much blood, sweat and tears, we put everything into that house. I’ll be really sad leaving it.”
