A Co Fermanagh blogger mum has said she was delighted to feature in an online magazine by Youtube superstar Zoella.
Sinead Tummon (@westartedoutnormal) started up an Instagram account where she shows off her food recipes for weaning her children, amassing over 11,000 followers on the platform.
Sinead was contacted by the hugely popular Zoe Sugg to feature in a list of the best online personalities to follow for weaning.

She has just recently had her second child, Annie and said she has plans to open toddler sensory groups in her home county and Armagh as well.
“Zoella had selected a few different accounts based on weaning which she wanted to share and I was lucky enough to be one of them,” Sinead told MyFermanagh.
“I managed to get quite a few followers from that! She just messaged me and asked if it was OK if I was featured in the next magazine and I was obviously delighted.”
“I’ve just started running the groups in Fermanagh and Armagh, it’s for children aged 13 months to five years and it’s all focused around physical activity and their personal development.
“It’s all about getting them to use their imagination and burn off a bit of energy before we start into activities. Each week will be different and it’s all themed.
“I think it’s something that’s needed in the area and I’ve been getting a lot of interest in it so that’s great.
“With my own son I was looking for things to do with him and there wasn’t an awful lot to do around our area, so that’s where I thought it might make a good thing for toddlers to do.”
Sinead added that the arrival of Annie has made her popular kids’ food recipes a little more tricky, as her daughter has a milk allergy.
“Annie is nine months now so she’s been weaning for three months and she has a cow’s milk allergy.
“So I’ve had to adapt a lot of my recipes for her allergy, so I’m hoping to post a lot more about that in the months ahead now.
“It has been tough, we were so used to eating things with cheese and milk in them so thinking of new recipes isn’t easy.
“It’s a juggling act working two jobs, looking after two kids, running the account and trying to keep the house clean as well!
“When you’re a parent you just seem to find the time to do these things, it has to be done.”
