Pippa O’Connor has reached a major parenting milestone, it seems. And one that can feel so far, far away when you are in the throes of parenting young children.
The businesswoman, who shares sons Ollie, 13, Louis, 10 and Billy, 4, with her husband Brian Ormond, is just back from having spent a couple of weeks in the sun. And upon her arrival back home in Ireland, it seems Pippa reflected over how this trip had been different, and the one thing she declared a ‘major game-changer’ for her and her family.
In an image on Instagram stories, the 41-year-old shared a snap of her youngest son, Billy, striding through what looks like an airport with a cute, animal-shaped backpack on.

Clearly enjoying his travel day, it seems Billy, who will be turning five later this year and heading off to ‘big school’ soon, is only delighted to be out of his stroller, something his proud mum reflected on as well.
‘It’s a game-changer with no buggy and all the baby extras…’ the mum-of-three wrote.
She also shared a reminder with parents who are still in the trenches and holidaying with young children and babies.
‘If you are in the depths of it, I promise it gets easier.’
Pippa added:
‘I’ve been there so many times, with the absolute stress of travelling when they’re young. But it is worth it and you are doing great!’
And aside from the no buggy joy, it seems like Pippa, Brian and the boys have all been loving their holidays this year.
The beauty founder also shared a gorgeous snap of her husband and their three boys splashing around in the sea.
And last week, Pippa took to Instagram last week to showcase how she did her holiday makeup using products from her own beauty-line, Poco Beauty.
Pippa can be seen getting her glam on in a gorgeous hotel room, and as usual, the mum-of-three looks stunning.
She wore a gorgeous terracotta-coloured silk dress with navy trim, and kept her makeup natural and glowing.
It has been a busy spring and early summer for Pippa and her family. First up was little Billy’s graduation from pre-school, as the youngster is preparing to start big school and junior infants in the autumn. And he is not the only one of Pippa’s sons who celebrated a big milestone this year.
Ollie, who turned 13 earlier this year, graduated primary school the end of June, and will be heading into secondary school in the autumn.
