From Mom

We hardly entertain at our house.  Even though I absolutely love to put a table together with all the garnishes, I hardly ever have the chance to do it.  Besides…

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…

OK, so this title might be misleading, there was no real boxing taking place in Kalk Bay, unless you count the intermittent fights between the girls.  What is Boxing Day…

The last time we went to the beach Riya was freaking out about the sand in her toes.  And the water.  And the dogs.  And the sun.  And the…  Well…

Noordhoek is special for us.  It’s the place that we celebrated our wedding day (our reception was at Monkey Valley and we took our pictures on Noordhoek Beach).  Besides that,…

So a while back there was this big special day that we celebrated but I was kind of busy at the time so I didn’t blog about it.  But I…

We have our own little green arrow at home and he is way cuter than the current hottie gracing our screens every Friday night. I love this little baby so…

There are some people that you meet in your life that weave into it and then out, never to be heard from again.  But then there are those that you…

It’s amazing how you can go to the same place over and over but each time you find something new to experience. We ventured out to Imhoff Farm for some…

Oh how I have missed all of you! I don’t really have much of an excuse except to say that we’ve been busy, so very busy.  Getting into routines, spending…

This year I have had the privilege of getting together with some really wonderful women to create a place where new Mom’s can meet together and get to know one…

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…

The Christmas tree finally went up on Sunday.  Not the “traditional”, singing songs and laughing together as I had imagined.  It ended with me putting it up all by myself,…

I don’t think I ever showed you the end result of my Movember situation…  And that’s only because there has never actually been an end… Seth is busy turning into…

I don’t know what that title has to do with anything except that I was trying to think of 3 of something and that’s all I could come up with.…

If you had mentioned the words “maternity leave” to me after Kyla was born I may have burst into tears.  The time that I was with Kyla on leave was…

I can’t believe that this gorgeous little boy has been in our lives for 10 weeks already.  It feels like I have known him my whole life (if that makes…

We had the privilege of attending Elijah’s 2nd birthday party 2 weekends ago (shows you how behind I am on posting).  And despite Elijah having a raging ear infection and…

I always thought that if I had girls they would be like me – not into frilly, pink, floral or bling.  It never even occurred to me that they could…

Quite a while ago some of us gathered together at Pink to celebrate Lizanne and the imminent arrival of baby Naomi. With 4 tiny babies and 4 toddlers it was…

There is nothing like Summer in Cape Town.  It’s so lovely here!  Well it has been, but the wind last night and this morning is making me think I can’t…

Another week down and closer to Seth being on holiday – I CAN’T WAIT.  Time is passing so fast that it was halfway through Sunday before I realised that Know…

The good people at Tribe Coffee happened to see my post the other day bragging about how great their coffee is and how it’s currently one of the only things…
