A Day In The Life Of The Alfino’s

We really love this place, and by this place I mean the whole of Noordhoek and not just the “Noordhoek Village”.  I love that it is so far away from…

We are on holiday!  Finally!  This is the first year in two whole years that I have not had a 4 month break from work – although, who am I…

Remember that Elf on The Shelf thing, the one that looked so awesome.  The one that we got all excited about…  The one that we told you about the idea…

Did you know that there was a place called Giraffe House?  Neither did I!  Did you know that the Tygerberg Zoo doesn’t have a giraffe?  Neither did I – until…

Oh so often we have had the conversation with friends where we beg them to have children…  That might sound crazy, but there is a legit reason…  That is that…

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 Seth is now cooking like a demon!  It’s fantastic and fabulous.  I’m sure this might shock you?  No?  Well, anyone that knows us would probably have heard the stories…

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…

Ok, so that sounds dramatic, but that’s what I want to do.  We live in such an amazing place but don’t get out and see it enough.  So now that…

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…

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…

(This is Seth’s version of Spartan as Charlie the Unicorn – if you have not watched this – take a moment to soak up its awesomeness.  Shun the non believer……

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 we finally went to check out Imhoff Farm (probably about a month ago now)…  And not just from the outside (like we did a couple of weeks before this…

I don’t know about you, but I don’t take my kids on enough play dates.  Although, let’s be honest – it’s not really all about the kids – it’s about…

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…

I refuse to let studying make me miss the magical moments with my girls (and Seth of course…), and if I don’t document it I will never really be able…

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…

Really I couldn’t.  I think I would kill the children…  Or at the very least curl up into a ball and cry in the corner.  What brought this on?  Well…

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…

8 years ago today I fell in love with Seth!  I cannot believe that we have been together for a full 8 years.  It’s almost a decade!  Crazy! Thinking back…

Since I posted the little story of Kyla and RiRi loving pegs so much I’ve been getting flashbacks of some other photos that we took.  Yes, the girls have picked…

Kyla and Riya love pegs…  So much so that it was one of the first words the Kyla learned…  Sad but true. The other day they got hold of Ga’s…
