Do you know how hard it is to find a bronze or pottery inspired gift for a MAN that doesn’t cost you two months worth of groceries?!  I’ll tell you.…

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…

One thing that I have learned through parenting three children over the last 5 (almost 6) years, is that you should NEVER, ever acknowledge that you have triumphed in a…

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 –…

Does that sound a bit selfish? Maybe. Or even worse, maybe it sounds counter productive because, hello?!  This is when you get a chance to have that hot cup of…

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…

There’s nothing I love more than meeting up with other like minded bloggers. If you’ve dipped your toes into the muddy pool of blogging you may have jumped right out again…

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…

Sitting down with a cup off coffee and catching up with all of my favourite bloggers has become somewhat of a necessary part of my day. I know there are…

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…

This morning was another teary eyed drop off. In fact, it was one of those mornings that I would have been much better off just staying in bed, hidden under…

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…

This blogging gig is great. Not only do I get to express myself, capture memories and the ups and downs of parenting, connect with others, give and find encouragement in…

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…

We all know that women feel overwhelmingly passionate about many things. Their man (or any man for that matter) deciding to grow the fuzz on their face is no exception…

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…
