Apparently the older your kids get, the more you are supposed to “do” at a party. It’s no longer about just getting together to have fun, you actually have to…

Sherbs.  I honestly need a weekend to recover from my weekend. That being said, the party was all sorts of fun and the girls had a fantastic time (which is…

What a weekend.  Please tell me things are going to get warmer from here on?  Please? With the girls birthdays fast approaching (we will have a 5 year old in…

Sometimes I miss bread.  There I said it. Although this bread may not be recommended with a good butternut soup, it is definitely the perfect mid morning snack with a cup…

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…

The kids rooms have been looking rather dull since we’ve moved house (Especially poor old Knox’s room, but that’s for a whole different post). For the girls room, we managed…

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…

Scenario: It’s dark in my room, my bleary, tired eyes manage to make out the light that is fighting to make it’s way through the curtains – so I know…

THIS COMPETITION IS CLOSED Besides my spending QT with my man and kids, family and friends or those few moments on my own, there is very little that I enjoy…

This weekend was a blur of Christmas trees, airport adventures, decorations EVERYWHERE, fun family playdates and twinkly lights.  Which, if you need a quick translation, means that it was actually…

A little tradition that we have in the Alfino household is that when you turn 1, you get some finger paint, a canvas and all the patience and support that…

So this Saturday I was given some time alone to get stuff done. I was meant to paint the bathroom ceiling, put a switch on the extractor fan, put up…

One thing I struggle to do is say no (unless I am talking to my children in which case I have nooooo problem).  Don’t you agree that “yes” just rolls of the…

Happy Tuesday that feels like Friday! I hope things are going well in your neck of the woods?  For us things are a bit hectic for the next 2 weeks,…

Thanks for all the loving you showed on the last LWW with Knox!  I really was overwhelmed with all the feedback – so appreciated guys! I also totally forgot to…

There was a time where I debated whether or not I should do this. Now you’re wondering, what the heck are you talking about?!  Well a little while ago I…

How cute are these little felt finger puppets?  As you can see, the girls put each of the little bits on which they absolutely adored doing.  This craft is so…

I might not have ever mentioned it, but I live in the same house that I did when I was growing up.  After Seth and I got married we took…

Have I mentioned how much Kyla loves to paint?  Well, imagine a person that really loves to paint…  That would be her.  I’m not even kidding that she asks me…

                  I love holidays!  Besides just being able to do what we want when we want it and having great family time…

When Kyla turned 1 I thought it would be awesome for each of our kids to do their own painting with the same mediums (a canvas and finger paint).  Because…

When the girls, Knox and I are home together all day on Friday’s I have been struggling to manage my time to be with them when I don’t have to…

In the last couple of weeks, I have been privileged in being able to help plan Julia’s baby shower with 3 very talented ladies!  Kirsty, Zoe and Julie really know how to…
