Our Kiddies

So, like, I really try not to make this space one where it seems like we have it all together and get all the cool things and do all the…

I should probably give you a heads up – if you should happen to see anyone of the Alfino clan roaming the streets looking like a zombie, this is your…

The other morning I was getting the girls dressed for school and I could not find one warm top that I could put on for them.  Not a single one.…

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…

How much did the pirate pay for his peg leg and hook? An arm and a leg *Duh-dum-tish!* Anyway, back to the real reason that I popped onto my favourite…

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…

Pictures are funny things. Although they clearly convey the scene in a crisp image, they can’t always capture the moment in full detail.  Like the early morning wake up for…

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…

Do you remember going into the video shop and standing there perusing the New Releases and deliberating at length with your movie partner about what to watch?  My favourite were…

I’ve been checking the postbox with nervous excitement every day since Sticky Fudge asked us for our postal address. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first shoot went…

I need to work on balancing our weekends.  Seriously, it’s a problem. On Saturday morning we left at 9.30 and only got home at 11pm (if you excluded the very…

So we’ve been working on our lifestyle change for close on 3 months now.  It’s been challenging, but I think that we have finally gotten into the groove of it all…

Since we’re all about equality and stuff, it’s only fair that since we have given you a sneak peak of the girls range for Autumn that we should do the…

Pssst….  Word on the street is that the launch is possibly going to happen today – if that happens you heard it here first…  If it doesn’t come back and…

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…

The last little snapshot was a lovely feel good moment, because in parenting, there are actually lots of those.  But today, well today is the real deal.  A grocery shopping…

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…

When I think of awesome destination places to go in Cape Town, I’ll be honest – Sea Point is not even in my Top 10.  Well, let me correct that…

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…

The kids rooms have been looking rather dull since we’ve moved house (Especially poor old Knox’s room, but that’s for a whole different post). For the girls room, we managed…

My sweetest Knox, As I write this your Daddy is trying really hard to get you to fall asleep in your own bed, without being cuddled to sleep (as we…

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…
