LIFESTYLE

Do you remember we had a party a little while ago?  It was a camping party for Kyla and Riya who annoyingly seem to insist on getting older every year.  I…

Isn’t it incredible how quickly the days pass when you’re having fun?  We woke up on our 7th day away from our babies realising that we only had a couple…

When I think back to my childhood, my fondest memories are of Sundays. They were the only days in our family that were predictable.  Which sounds rather dull, but with…

There is probably a currently post waiting to happen in my head, but I don’t feel like doing one of those now.  I’d rather talk about specific things that are…

So we’ve covered what we eat on this whole dairy, grain and sugar free life, but what about our kids?  Do they toe the line too?  How can we justify…

After spending all our time in Florence either jumping on a train to another town or wandering around getting lost in the dark, it was finally time to actually see…

You know what I thought the hardest thing about having a relationship was (before I got married)? Having to say goodbye. Can you believe it?  How young and ignorant I…

After a marathon morning catching trains and busses from Florence to get to Pisa and holding up the tower, it was time to head on to the next leg of the…

Riya Ray, today you are seven.  Freaking SEVEN!  How even? It feels so weird to say that my baby girl is seven.  The sentence is contradictory.  How can a baby…

Look at us just sitting at the bus stop waiting for a bus like people that don’t totally hate themselves.  Gosh, I actually can’t tell you how taking the bus…

How are your holidays going?  For me I have noticed a remarkable difference in my children in the sense that they just aren’t themselves.  It’s amazing how much the holidays…

I don’t know if it’s just because Rome was my first international city or if it’s because I really am a city girl at heart, but saying goodbye to Rome…

A couple of weekends ago we trekked to the other side of the Western Cape, to the mountains of Matroosberg.  Why would we go there?  Well it depends who you…

My darling Kyla Bella, it seems like just yesterday that you were placed in my arms for the very first time.  Though even just saying that also feels totally ridiculous…

It’s obviously been a while since we packed our bags and left for Rome but it seems I have already forgotten SO much.  I looked at these pictures and I…

I know it doesn’t look like it now, but if you’d seen Seth about 4 years ago you probably wouldn’t have recognised him.  Not because he didn’t have a beard,…

Look what we found again after we’d gotten back to Rome from our day climbing Mount Vesuvius and exploring Pompeii.  Yip you guessed it.  That flipping fountain.  Which is actually…

One of the ways that we’re trying to help Knox live his best life (besides fixing his sleep) is to get him involved in Playball.  As it turns out, he…

So a little context.  I have been blessed with three beautiful, witty and flipping brilliant children.  From the moment that I pee’d on the stick and clung to the toilet…

After blitzing 40km on our first day in Rome, we wanted to take it a bit easier the next day.  But that’s just not how we roll.  Instead, our second…

I’ve gotten very good at ignoring my alarm clock.  Like really, really good.  It’s actually a bit of a problem now that I think about it. But it’s not really…

Our first day in Rome is not finished yet. If you thought those were all the pictures we took let me just take a minute laugh and laugh and laugh.…

There was a lot that I was looking forward to when Seth and I got married.  Moving out of our parents houses and into our own space.  Not having to…
