From Mom

If you’re reading this then you’ve probably booked a photo shoot to capture the absolute cuteness of your children as they are right now, the sweet little things. Except that…

Hey, how’s it going? I hope all is good in your hood. Did you know that you shouldn’t start blog posts like that?  I’m sure it says so in the…

Flip, I’m struggling with this week. The last two mornings have been rough.  Yesterday Riya had a 10 minute tantrum in front of all the parents at the school –…

I love a good party theme! No really.  I’m kind of party planning obsessed and I have serious party envy when we go to parties.  Despite that it’s been a…

Were those caps loud enough for you? No? You can WIN Exclusive One Direction “On The Road Again” Tickets for the 1 April Cape Town Concert. Let’s just say that…

Even if you missed out on our #CTMomBlogMeet you still have a chance to skip a bit of the FOMO by getting your hands on one of our exclusive goody…

It’s not often that you get to celebrate an 80th birthday. I mean 80 years is a pretty long time to be alive.  I can’t even begin to imagine all…

I’m sure that as a parent you know that sometimes you can get it so right.  The kind of right that leaves you doing a little victory dance in the…

If, like me this body looks a little weird to you, I asked and she drew the dress as part of the body – hence the lumps on the side.…

I don’t see any shades of grey here.  I just see one shade of “No thank you”. If, like me, just the mention of 50 Shades of Grey has you…

There are quite a few things that make me really happy. Spending time with my kids playing Uno or watching them splash in the pool or trying not to smash…

We’re in the throws of Award Season and I’m not only referring to the celebs who are dying to get their hands on the next Oscar, but to many of…

It’s happening.  Like really happening. We had such a great time at the #CTMeetUp last year that we thought that we would have another (smaller) meet up that only focused…

Today you turn 30. I know it seems like a big one because people usually make a big deal about it, I guess it’s supposed to be this marker in…

Every Sunday night was the same…  We’d go to church and then to our best friends place (or they’d come to ours) and we’d have an easy supper.  It was…

If I claimed this to a definitive guide to party packs I’d basically be saying that I’m Martha Stewart.  And we all know that’s about as true as saying Saturday…

We went to our PTA meeting last night. It was our first of TWO nights that we have to attend because – too many children. You know the kind of…

Looking after myself has never really been a priority. I can’t even blame it on having kids, because if I’m honest, I was lazy before I had them too. Now…

A little while ago one of my bests dropped the bombshell that she would be leaving me.  Her hubs and kids would be moving to New Zealand.  It left us…

When I pictured our first day of school I prepared for the worst. I envisioned children that had unbrushed hair, mismatched clothes and questionable status on teeth brushing to be thrown…

What is it about kids that makes them want to be super helpful at inappropriate times? You know what I mean.  It would really be helpful if they chose to…

On the last night of our holiday I cried myself to sleep. Not because I was so sad to be leaving – although that was true.  It was because one…

Let’s quickly recap on the events of the week so far: Monday: YES! I’m so ready to go back to work.  I’m going to kick this years butt.  300 emails?…
