Have you ever built a gingerbread house?  We built our first one a couple years ago with a pre-made set that we were gifted by Seth’s sister.  Every year since then…

There is honestly nothing better than going away as a family.  It’s the highlight of my holiday when we get to pack our bags, and set out on a road…

One thing that we LOVE to do as a family, is go out.  I know that’s a hugely open ended statement but it’s true.  We like to be out of…

There once was this family of five that decided to buy a 1978 VW Jurgens Campervan.  In Kimberley.  So they had to drive it all the way back down to…

Contrary to what my husband may believe, I often wake up in the mornings wondering what I’m going to make for supper that evening.  I say that Seth wouldn’t believe…

If the hecticness of the last few weeks has taught me anything, it’s that I can’t summarise all the things I’ve learned in one sentence.  I mean, I have been…

I realise that driving up from Cape Town to Kimberley to buy a 40 year old campervan may sound a little nuts.  But that’s exactly what we did a couple…

I don’t know who was more surprised that they were getting their hair washed – Rider or Knox! Hair wash day in our house has always been a bit of…

The amount of time our children spend lying on the floor borders on the freaking ridiculous. I mean, as an adult I can’t think of the last time I have…

At the beginning of the year I volunteered to head up the fundraising team of Knox’s school. I know right?  What was I thinking? The thing is, I’ve always wanted…

You’ve probably noticed the ever lengthening curls on the head of our sweet boy.  Maybe you’ve thought it was super cute or maybe you’re wondering if we’re sinking ever deeper…

When was the last time that you had a night off? For me I know that I have every Tuesday night off (because we go to my in laws for…

I really enjoy the idea of camping. No really, I do. You get to experience the great outdoors as it was intended – no need for a TV when there’s…

You know, when I first started watching YouTube videos about toy unboxing… Bwahahahahaha.  OK, let’s just rephrase that because that sounds like I did it intentionally.  And as a Mom…

Is that not the most angelic little face you’ve ever seen?  I just can’t. This picture was taken when he was sick a couple weeks ago.  I’d taken the day…

You guys know how I love to throw a party right?  It’s totally just my thing.  It makes me happy.  Except when it’s for myself of course.  Somehow then it…

  I’ve just looked up a hundred different ways to write out the sound of static to try and illustrate my point.  But I have failed.  So I will describe…

If there’s one thing that I have realised (despite all desires to the contrary), these kinds of ‘internal affecting the external’ changes take time.  And that’s not a bad thing.…

A big part of trying to do this whole dairy, grain and sugar free thing is making sure that I have something lekker to snack on when I feel like…

There’s very few things that drive me absolutely bonkers – repetitive sounds, chewing or licking noises and not finding a snack in the cupboard when I’m looking for one –…

  You guys know that I LOVE to plan a party.  In fact it may well be my favourite thing to do – no matter how stressed it makes me…

Venice is a funny little city because even though it was absolutely breathtaking and we loved every second being there, it wasn’t my favourite of the cities that we visited.…
