A Day In The Life Of The Alfino’s

This week has been an emotional one for me, and not in a good way. When I sit back and take stock of all the exciting things that are going…

When I think of awesome destination places to go in Cape Town, I’ll be honest – Sea Point is not even in my Top 10.  Well, let me correct that…

It’s not often that we are totally spontaneous. We don’t get a chance to be.  What with 3 children that need so many different things it makes it almost impossible…

There’s this saying that goes something like, “With great parenting come great responsibility“. Not quite right?  Maybe.  But I think that parenting automatically gives you some cray super powers that…

Since moving into our new house I have been a lot happier.  I didn’t think that ones surroundings mattered as much as The Sims made it out to be, but…

Jeepers.  Was it hot this weekend or was it hot?  I’ll give you a clue. It was hot. But not as hot as this giveaway!  *Said in the cheesiest Glomail…

        Hello! Can you believe that a whole week has passed and we are already here about to announce a winner of the Dettol Giveaway?  I can’t…

Apparently a picture speaks a thousand words. I’ve never really put it to the test, but I often stare at a picture and have what seems like a hundred different…

  To My Favourite Husband It’s really hard to sit here and find the right words to say to you on your special day.  There is so much that I…

OK, I’ll wait till you pick your jaw up off the floor before I continue. You ready? Great! I briefly spoke about the fact that I have recently cut out…

Please don’t put me in a mommy box. Right now you’re thinking, “what are you even talking about?!”  But you’ve totally heard of these boxes, you just don’t realise that…

My sweetest Knox, As I write this your Daddy is trying really hard to get you to fall asleep in your own bed, without being cuddled to sleep (as we…

Weekends are way to short.   Just saying. Seth decided to leave the house while it was still dark on Saturday morning to go and climb Table Mountain…  As one…

At the end of last year we sat pondering what on Earth to get our family for Christmas.  Eventually we decided that we weren’t going to waste money on random…

We officially have no more babies in our house. I’m simultaneously ecstatic and miserable about this.  Weird hey?  I guess it’s because I know that he is the last baby…

“Oooooh guuuuurl, I got ma haaur did.” Apparently, to most people this is a normal occurrence.  But for me it’s a bit of a big deal seeing as I cut…

So the start of the new school year happened yesterday. Just thought I’d tell you in case you weren’t on any form of social media yesterday or maybe you just…

School starts today. It feels like just the other day it was their very, very first ever day at school.  I guess time really does fly when you are having…

Back at work today – sad face of note. But instead on dwelling on that, I’m thinking of all the fun things that we got to do this holiday with…

Another tattoo has been added to my little collection. I guess it’s a bit like Pringles, in that once you start you can’t stop. But seriously, I’m sitting here with…

Man oh man, I didn’t think it was possible to be sick of braaing, but let me tell you, it totally is. Last week alone 6 out of 7 dinner…

Getting back into the swing of things is no joke, luckily I still have a week before I take it too seriously.  Hopefully you do too, otherwise if you are…

Yo yo yo. I wasn’t really planning on doing a review of the year, but after reading so many of my favourite bloggers reviews, it made me feel a bit…
