A Day In The Life Of The Alfino’s

While I’m being driven in to work in the morning (after we drop the kids off) – we only have one car, so my gorgeous man drops me off first…

Once again our little people are hit with another onslaught of sickness.  I have lost count of the amount that they have had this Winter, but seeing as I can…

The girls absolutely adore their family, so much so that I often think that they would rather be living with them than us!  I love that they have extended family…

Ok, before I post this I just want to say that I would not normally do these kind of posts as I look at them and think “ja right, this…

I just thought I would quickly apologise to all those lovely, beautiful people who actually read our blog (well done to you for sticking with me – I really appreciate…

Many years ago (about 3 or 4), I was bugging Seth about us becoming parents as I did every now and then (probably once a day) and always after a…

I’d love to say that after the kids have finished all their organic, home made vegetables and protein for supper, had a lovely bath, gotten dressed without a fuss and…

Recently our girls have developed a sense of humour and are starting to play well together – I just LOVE it!  Here are a few moments that I had to…

On the 18th of August, 2 very special people entered our world, not in the same year, but the same day – which is pretty cool considering they are mother…

Our poor puppies have only featured vaguely in previous posts, even though I dedicated a whole post to a dog that was never really my own (Tribute to Kel).  I…

My original title was “A Fling Can Fix Anything” but, when I read that it again I realised that it is a bit to ambiguous…  That kind of “fling” definitely…

In a previous post I mentioned why we do “Date Nights” and this this one of them.  One night we actually acted our age and went out for a night…

On Tuesday we decided to explore somewhere that was not the Barnyard!  After some deliberation we decided to drive half way across the world to the other side of the…

One day last week (I would tell you which one if they didn’t all blur together) I was sitting on the couch trying to catch my breath when I noticed…

We have the priviledge of possibly featuring in the October edition of the Marie Claire!  (Much thanks to Nicole who sent us the original email!).  Why would they want us…

Meal times are something that I often dread when I know that I have to feed them by myself.  There are a few reasons for this: You cannot feed the…

So we decided to combine the girls party this year and their present too!  Although they love the cardboard houses that Dada makes them, they don’t last very long now…

Kyla loves make up and Riya loves to take out things that are in a bag, so as you can imagine, “make up bags” are a real hit!  While destroying…

Kyla does not like to be aware that there is a photo being taken of her.  If she knows she will hide her head or pull and frowny face.  But…

Things in the Alfino household have really been happening in a far faster way than I thought was possible.  A couple of months ago Riya started walking…  I know right!…

I have been debating whether to make this blog about our months of sickness with a hint of a failed time away or if I should tell you about the…

As is now becoming the norm, this happened some time ago, but I just haven’t had the time to blog about it.  You might wonder why I am even bothering…

The moment you mention the word “park” in our house (or especially Ga’s house), it will be instantaneously followed with Kyla jumping up to get her jacket and hat – no matter…
