Our Kiddies

Despite the Terrible Two’s being the most annoying phase ever, it has also coincided with him learning a mountain of new words and having no fear in putting them into…

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.…

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…

Along with Summer comes the much anticipated school holidays and festive season.  It’s possibly my absolute favourite time of the year.  The excitement of being home and able to do…

Summer is here. (I’m inclined to say FINALLY, but I don’t want to sound ungrateful and scare her away again). Sitting in the sun and feeling the warmth that unfreezes…

Do you know what I realised this weekend? You never fully “own” this parenting thing.  Yes, some days are great and you totally feel like you got this parenting gig…

I don’t normally post on the weekend, because like, it’s the weekend. But I’m breaking bad just once to share more of the pictures of Knoxs Shaun the Sheep party…

My Knox Yes, MY Knox. (You’ll have to fight me to call him your Knox – sorry future girlfriend, it’s just how it is around here.) There are so many…

There was a time (just a few years ago) where I could direct you to the closest baby changing facility in any shopping mall in Cape Town. I could also…

I don’t like my body. I’m not sure if I have ever walked past a mirror and not cringed at a bulge there or the wobble there, or how weirdly…

If you are Cape Town (like me), you are looking around and wondering what the heck happened to that brief period of sun we had just a couple of days…

I have no words for this week, except maybe to beg the weekend to come back.  We had so much fun running around Eden On The Bay that I would…

Finding the right words to convey my thoughts today is proving a lot more difficult than I thought it would. Basically, the last few weeks have been kind of amazing. I…

You know when something really trivial happens and no one else notices, but to you it kind of feels like the World has stopped until you process those thoughts and feelings?…

Aaaah, the great outdoors.  With the sun heating up cold bones, birds and squirrels bustling around in the trees over head, the sound of children laughing and the view of…

There was a time in my life when I used to be scared of being alone at home with my kids.  Every moment, from the time I got home at…

Despite how hectic planning a party can be, I am kind of sad that the girls party is over. So let’s quickly relive it through pictures, OK? In case you…

Apparently the older your kids get, the more you are supposed to “do” at a party. It’s no longer about just getting together to have fun, you actually have to…

* Today is Kyla’s birthday and I just couldn’t get words to work for me, so  instead of a letter to her, I’ll post the next best thing.  How to…

I have totally given up trying to get the girls to wear the clothing that I wish they wore. You know the kind that if it was just a little…

A blonde haired, blue eyed boy. That’s exactly what I envisioned my first child to look like. Obviously after I met Seth and fell madly in love, I kind of knew…

Sometimes I sit and stare at the blinking cursor for what feels like hours.  Thoughts swirling around in my head, a few make it to the keyboard only to be…

Beauty. It’s so subjective.  And yet the World has formalised it somehow. In order to be “beautiful” you need to have checked all these boxes – striking facial features, radiant skin,…
