"face"

There was a time in my life when I thought that make up was only for those women who cared too much about what they looked like. You know what…

For the last couple of months I have been flitting through emotions like a crazy person. I can’t tell you how many times I have reacted (or passive aggressively NOT…

There’s this place called Oude Molen Eco Village. From the outside it appears to be the kind of place that you don’t ever want to see the inside of.  So…

I’ve been doing the strangest thing this week. After getting up, seeing the kids off and showering, I just put on my Dr Hauschka medicated cream and then sit down…

One thing I never envisioned myself to be is the crazy plant lady. In fact, for many years of my life all I managed to do was kill everything green…

Things have been quite quiet since we’ve been back in the land of the normal. It was inevitable I guess, because we went from living our best free lives to…

After 299 days on the road we hit the last bit of tar on the way home to Cape Town. Is it beyond annoying that it’s 299 days and not…

Oh hello there.  It’s been a while hasn’t it.  If you haven’t been following along with us on our social media (mainly Facebook or Instagram) pages then you probably think…

I know, I know.  We’ve lived in this thing for 4 months, how dare I only show you the inside of the van now? Well, I probably don’t have to…

Look, we’re not total idiots.  When we bought a flipping old van from the 70’s (that still has its original air-cooled engine), we knew we were going to breakdown.  Heck,…

Doing something for an extended period of time has never really been my thing.  I fail at all those internet challenges there are out there.  You know what I’m talking…

It’s not often that Seth and I drive into a new town and have the same thoughts about it.  Either I don’t like it for some reason (too humid, lacking…

Ah homeschooling…  A topic that has always plagued the back recesses of my mind space. If you had spoken to me a year ago I would have told you (and…

Even though I really enjoy writing about all the places and the things we got up to while we were there, it doesn’t have the real release that blogging should…

How’s this for ignorant…  Before actually arriving at Addo Elephant Park I had absolutely no idea that there was other wildlife there, you know aside from elephants.  Like obvs they’d…

There’s many things that I have shared on this blog, or maybe over shared. Definitely over shared. But something you may not know about me yet, is that my Dad…

Every night I do this thing where I update my Instagram (and Facebook) with a new post of what we did that day.  Sometimes it’s really difficult to select just…

I think I just need to get this post out of my system.  Like when you have a shoelace that somehow got stuck under a toe in your Converse.  It’s…

When we worked out our provisional itinerary before setting out on this adventure, we were totally ignorant of what South Africa had to offer.  Funnily enough I even had to…

Do you know how many times I camped before we headed out on this adventure? Three times that I can remember. Once when I was roughly like 11 and we…

Do you know what it takes to pack up your entire life to move into a van?  A lot more than we expected that’s for sure.  I mean we’re ambitious…

Oh hi there!! It’s been a while hey?  So long that I basically forgot my passwords to even log into this site to update you on what’s happening.  My fingers…

I don’t know if I have ever told you about the first and last time I climbed Table Mountain?  It was waaaay back, before we had babies.  In fact I…
