From Mom

If this festive season has reminded me of anything, it’s that although we think race is no longer a “big issue” – it really freaking is.  So I hope that…

Just when we’d gotten our kids into the habit of sleeping late and having to wake Knox up at 9 (when he still hadn’t emerged from his Hulk cave), we…

We’re finally on holiday. Just thinking the words brings up a mental image of people playing trumpets and jingling all the bells while we do the running man in the…

Oh hello there! I’ve missed you like a squirrel misses his nuts.  Or more relate-ably, I’ve missed you like a mother misses her sleep!  So I thought I’d start off…

This year hey? Well, to be fair it hasn’t been the whole year that’s been crap, just probably the last couple of months. I think it started when they broke…

Coming back from a holiday is always a little bit tumultuous isn’t it? It means packing up the remnants of the fun you’ve had – sandy towels, wet bathers, a…

It’s that time of the year again. You know what I mean.  When there’s too much going on and you just can’t think straight.  The to-do list is piling high…

YAY for Friday am I right? I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment in our series.  If this is the first time you’re joining us – WELCOME,…

I have so much I want to get out of me and into words on this space, but they just don’t want to flow.  And when they do, I don’t…

We recently spent a couple of nights out at Frog Mountain (close to Swellendam) to celebrate a friends 30th birthday. Instead of spending lots of money celebrating a birthday by having…

FRIYAY! Guys, this is possibly one of my favourite interviews, although honestly it’s really impossible to pick a favourite.  This week we have both Chetna AND Phill answering the questions…

I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment in our series.  If this is the first time you’re joining us – WELCOME, it’s good to have you.  Here…

I’m living in the same house as my husband but we haven’t had a proper conversation in a week. Best week of his life, am I right? Seriously though, how…

Somewhere in the last couple of months, I lost myself. I don’t know how it happened. It’s not that “the lady in the phone” (as the kids call the Google…

We’ve had the absolute privilege of having three kids. And while I am very grateful for them and couldn’t imagine my life without them, do you have any idea how…

I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment in our series.  If this is the first time you’re joining us – WELCOME, it’s good to have you.  Here…

I am not a minimalist. At least not when it comes to collecting special moments. If I could, I’d fill my walls with precious treasures that we’d collected over the…

Since the kids have been on holiday this week, we’ve been treating most of the days as mini Fridays.  But mini fake Fridays really just don’t compare to the real…

I cannot believe that it’s this time of the year again! Seriously though, how can we possibly be 78 days away from Christmas?  I’m sure I was stuffing my face…

A couple of months ago we decided that we were going to do our own version of Come Dine With Me. To be fair, in the beginning we weren’t quite…

Harlequin, Ironman, Thor, Supergirl and White Tiger (not a lost member of the KKK – promise) There’s something that you don’t know about me. I’m an undercover nerd. OK, who…

Over the weekend I started living up to the term “old and grey”. I guess you could say that I started this a while ago actually, since I’ve been sporting the…

It’s getting to that time of the day again. That time of the day where you are losing your last nerve as quickly as your children are unrolling the toilet paper…
