Let’s rewind roughly 4 years and 9 months. We would go an visit the few friends that we had with children and when I got home I was so broody…

Would it be a bad thing if I admitted that I loved this new baby almost as much as I love my real babies?!  It’s amazing!  In my defense, I…

Did you know that Mom’s have super powers?  No?  Just think about it…  They seem to know everything and are ready to pounce into action and save the day whenever…

So in a previous post I mentioned that we wanted to introduce a new awesomeness to our traditions.  And finally we have it.  Welcome Gawpy… I am not sure that…

Recently Kyla has discovered that she can climb off her “big girl bed” and come to us during the night…  So now we regularly hear little footsteps and then see…

I have totally not given my man the props that he deserves for the ama-zing meals that he has recently created.  Yeah, I said created, because it is not only…

My friendling Liz at Clay Jar People nominated me to be a part of this little thingy (or award as it has been called), so I thought why not give it…

Ever since I started thinking about becoming a Mommy (which seems so long ago now), I have been pondering what traditions I would like to keep with them at Christmas…

I am totally loving this age (Kyla 2½and Riya 1½).  It is the best so far, although I wouldn’t mind some cuddly-put-them-in-one-place-and-they-stay-there-moments.  As both girls are walking and talking, it’s…

Unfortunately in South Africa we have adopted many of the American traditions and not enough of our own.  So this is definitely not related to Thanksgiving…  Even if it was……

So, there are some things in life I find easy and relaxing, like reading or watching movies…  Sewing…  Well sewing is unfortunately not one of those things – besides trying…

Since our last family holiday was such an epic fail, we thought we would give it another go.  We were prompted to do so because Seth’s parents were going away…

I adore taking pictures of my missioning munckins and actually just enjoy photo’s in general.  I’m by no means a real photographer (especially since I am resorting to my phone…

I know that it’s just over 3 and a half months late to continue the tradition we started with Kyla – where we do a painting once a year on…

So in a previous post about Imhoff Farm I mentioned that we saw a weird chicken thingy.  After my brother pointed out to me that the bird in the pictures…

I have been reminiscing a lot about this time last year – Riya was only 4 months old and Kyla was walking and starting to talk.  What a gorgeous time…

As I sit here writing this, I am playing Kings Of Leon and my heart fills with excitement and butterflies just listening to it.  I always knew that I was a…

A little while ago we were chatting in the office about how the waiter laughed at me when I wanted “sweet” wine.  The conversation was then lead by Jan who…

A couple of Sunday’s ago it was beautiful here in Cape Town and seeing as we don’t have a pool of our own, we thought we would take the kids…

Recently my little girls have disappeared and have been replaced with little fairies.  Kyla’s new obsession is to wear her bright yellow tutu (this makes an appearance in yesterdays post…

I have tried to put it off for far too long (with having babies and so on), but the time has come for me to get the Wealth Management Course…

So for those of you who don’t know we have made it into the printed issue of the Marie Claire.  Yippee!  Besides the picture there was a couple of lines…

This morning I had the most realistic dream I have had in a very long time… When I came home from work, my mom was waiting for me in the…
