Happy South African Heritage Day peoples of the world, and more importantly South Africa. If you are like me and are not very good at knowing what our South African…

I’ll be celebrating my 27th birthday on Wednesday!  Yippee!!  It’s so exciting that this year I get to share the day with my gorgeous Knox instead of being in labour…

They say moving is one of the most stressful things that you will ever do.  When I first heard this, I mentally laughed at all those silly, disorganised people.  However,…

So, there is very little that I feel the need to “brand” or “categorise” as a parent. Whether you formula or breast feed, whether you cloth nappy or only use…

I’ve often wondered if going to therapy would help me or if they would listen to just one retelling of an afternoon in the life of me and immediately admit…

I know that on Monday’s we all feel like doing this… But I’m here to tell you that instead of doing that, you should go and enter the Oh So…

I was halfway through writing a deep and meaningful post about moving houses when I was stopped by this dude. I think he did the world a favour.  He actually…

Who has two thumbs and something to give away? *points thumbs at herself* This girl does. Man I love that joke.  I’ve been saying it all morning while I was…

Goodness, this weekend totally owned me.  For reals.  I am more exhausted now than I was before it started.  We have been very busy making sure that our kids get…

When I was pregnant with Kyla, we would often take our time in the mornings to get ready and still arrive at the Old Biscuit Mill at 9am.  Aaaah, the…

It’s not often that I am affected by the things that people say to me or about me.  Not any more anyway (shout out to high school Cindy – you…

Do you know that it apparently snows on Table Mountain once every 10 years or so?  I was seriously not aware that had ever snowed on Table Mountain, and so…

Sort of like my currently post a while back, there’s a lot going on.  But when I do have a chance to take a picture it seems to be going…

Happy Friday people! Man I am glad that it’s almost the weekend, this week has been a long and tiring one.  Being sick and having sick kids is just not…

One of my new favourite things to do after I’ve cuddled Knox to sleep and put him down for his afternoon nap, is to make myself a lovely cup of…

Do you remember way back when you were at school and you had a civvies day or a “bring a monkey to school” day or a “wear your pants on…

Today I am sitting in the midst of 3 sick, moody children and I think that I am slowly losing the battle, in the fight against all the germs that…

It has become apparent to me that soon our faces are going to be plastered right at the top of every restaurant list, right under the “DO NOT LET THESE…

Taking a look back at the last couple of posts and I realised that a very special person seems to be missing in all of them.  I’m not sure how…

It seems to be birthday season at the moment, the girls celebrations are still dying down in our house and yet we are attending parties like it’s going out of…

This week has been pretty amazing – on the blogging side of things anyway.   The Spar Savour Magazine issue is just too cute and then thanks to Sticky Fudge,…

We did it. We got through Riya’s very first photo shoot and despite all the ups and downs of the day, if you ask her today if she had fun…
