Organised. This is not a word that is often used to describe me.  Unless someone uses it in a sentence that goes along the lines of, “Oh my word.  Check…

It’s here… Can you feel it?  With the start of November also comes the start of “real” Summer in Cape Town.  The kids went to school this morning with shorts…

* Before I begin – today is #nofilterday, if you’re feeling down about life and thinking that you are not managing everything as well as other Mom’s out there –…

I keep making this specific promise to my girls. Over and over again.  Then getting so mad with myself that I couldn’t keep it.  Even though I had every intention…

I’ve been finding it difficult to take pictures recently.  Not that it’s my job or anything, but I normally really love to do it.  I don’t know why I’ve been…

How do you know Summer is here (besides the beautiful weather we’ve been having, of course)?  Well, I know Summer is here because besides the sudden influx of filthy cockroaches…

Recently I have had some time to sit back and reflect on life (with my laptop being busted and all it kind of aided this process).  I even had a…

You guys, I don’t know what it is about this video that is making it impossible to stop giggling, but I really can’t help myself.  Her face is just too…

It seems like just yesterday that I was moaning about all the boxes that I had to pack and get ready to move, but we’ve already been in our new…

I can’t believe our birthday has come and gone already without it even really feeling like it was even here.  With so much going on with the move and everything,…

Can you feel that glorious South African sun creeping into your windows and warming up those toes? I don’t know about you, but Summer is starting to emerge around here…

Do you know what’s been the hardest thing about the move?  Not having internet.  Boy do I miss getting on my laptop, downloading all the photos I’ve taken of memories…

You guys, moving is no joke.  I think my mind is about to break.  Which I’m concerned about – because I’m not quite sure how to get it back together…

Happy South African Heritage Day peoples of the world, and more importantly South Africa. If you are like me and are not very good at knowing what our South African…

Today marks 10 years that Seth and I have been together.  Granted we were not married this whole time, but I think that those dating years are important and not…

They say moving is one of the most stressful things that you will ever do.  When I first heard this, I mentally laughed at all those silly, disorganised people.  However,…

Everyday I sit with my kids in the afternoon and try and establish what they did that day.  Sometimes it’s easy and they just tell me exactly what happened, but…

I’ve often wondered if going to therapy would help me or if they would listen to just one retelling of an afternoon in the life of me and immediately admit…

Good morning lovelies! I have been trying to work at home some evenings and when I have a Milo break I have a nifty little screen saver that shows me…

I was halfway through writing a deep and meaningful post about moving houses when I was stopped by this dude. I think he did the world a favour.  He actually…

So much to do – so little time.  This month is crazy busy, like full on cray cray.  We’ve already started with the parties and the packing, but there are…

Goodness, this weekend totally owned me.  For reals.  I am more exhausted now than I was before it started.  We have been very busy making sure that our kids get…

I haven’t watched this movie.  But if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that Stella was a part time working Mom of 3 lovely, but busy and…
