There’s this place called Oude Molen Eco Village. From the outside it appears to be the kind of place that you don’t ever want to see the inside of.  So…

They woke up happy, haven’t fought once and they even said “thank you” after you gave them their breakfast. They’ve lulled you into a false sense of security – “nothing…

I don’t know when I got all American y’all, but let’s just take the bull by the horns and run with it. Much like many fellow South Africans and the…

Every time we head out on the N2 to escape the city, we pass Monkeyland.  Before kids I barely even noticed it as we whizzed on by, but as they…

It’s no secret that I love a good photo.  It’s also no secret that we have been to Houw Hoek Inn so many times that I have nothing new to…

It was still dark when we woke up, stumbling around to get everything together that I thought I had so carefully planned out the night before.  We gently woke the…

Kyla got invited to a Princess Party by one of  her friends at school. This is probably something that happens to your kids often, but for us it was a…

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Sticky Fudge.  And not only for our kids – seriously, if I could squeeze myself into some of their designs…

When I entered the giveaway on A Gorgeous Life to win tickets to the Paarl Ommniberg Round The Rock Festival, I did what I usually do – imagined I won and how I…

One part of my day that I least enjoy is getting ready for work in the morning. It means getting out of my bed that I feel like I’ve only…

It’s not often that we are totally spontaneous. We don’t get a chance to be.  What with 3 children that need so many different things it makes it almost impossible…

Apparently a picture speaks a thousand words. I’ve never really put it to the test, but I often stare at a picture and have what seems like a hundred different…

Weekends are way to short.   Just saying. Seth decided to leave the house while it was still dark on Saturday morning to go and climb Table Mountain…  As one…

At the end of last year we sat pondering what on Earth to get our family for Christmas.  Eventually we decided that we weren’t going to waste money on random…

So the start of the new school year happened yesterday. Just thought I’d tell you in case you weren’t on any form of social media yesterday or maybe you just…

School starts today. It feels like just the other day it was their very, very first ever day at school.  I guess time really does fly when you are having…

Man oh man, I didn’t think it was possible to be sick of braaing, but let me tell you, it totally is. Last week alone 6 out of 7 dinner…

Getting back into the swing of things is no joke, luckily I still have a week before I take it too seriously.  Hopefully you do too, otherwise if you are…

I love the holidays. They have always been my favourite time of the year, I guess it’s hard to not enjoy sitting in the sun, swimming in the pool, catching…

Hello there! I don’t know about you, but I’m finally starting to emerge from my food coma.  It’s taken a while longer than it should, but in all fairness I…

I suppose I should preface this post with the fact that although Knox is 15 months old, we do not have one single family photo.  Not a single one. This…

I’ll tell you what they have in common – they are both the absolute cutest things ever in the World! To end the year off at school, the girls had…

I cannot believe that yesterday I dropped my kids off for the last day of their first year of school. It really seems like just yesterday I was stressing over…
