Riya-Ray

My baby girl, you’re 3 today!  Well actually you have been 3 for 3 days now, but I haven’t really had a chance to sit down and write to you…

After taking a little reflection moment just a month ago, looking at the kids at 9 months and trying to tell the difference, I wondered if we would be able…

So…  It seems like in the next few months we will be packing up our bags and moving to the area of our dreams.  And the house of our renovation…

Let’s rewind roughly 4 years and 9 months. We would go an visit the few friends that we had with children and when I got home I was so broody…

Last night was great.  Really great.  I’ll probably tell you about it when I get back, but for now I miss this:   (Although I must say that this is…

So you know there was this one time that I considered getting all my children into modelling, because they are the most beautiful babies in the world.  I swear I’m…

Last night, as I sat pondering what to write about, an image flashed on my screen of a very tiny little Riya that I added to Instagram a while ago.…

I guess that’s a weird thing to acknowledge.  But there is a reason for the random statement – besides the sick realisation that the year is almost on the downward…

You’ve heard that saying “a change is as good as a holiday“, right?  Well my guess is that the person that said it wasn’t on holiday, or on a holiday…

There I was feeling all sorry for myself and things, writing emo posts and saving them to maybe post later.  And there it went…  Right out into the interwebs for all to…

You know, there are many things in our lives that I have “under control”.  And by under control I totally mean that I feign an act that things are OK,…

I’m kind of over talking about sick children.  Because really, besides you having heard as much about the amount of snot my family can produce, I am just over thinking…

Quite a while ago now we decided to venture out to Hout Bay one evening to experience their indoor market.  We heard that it had a bit of an Old…

Fairies are one of the many new “hits” in our household, and though so many people freak out that their girls are obsessed about one day growing up to be…

Happy mothers day to all you Mommies out there! For those of you who don’t celebrate it, happy Sunday to you!!  We will probably be spending the day a little…

This blogs comes to you straight from my tablet… While I put the girls to sleep… (Which is why some of you may have seen a preview of this post…

Thanks for all the loving you showed on the last LWW with Knox!  I really was overwhelmed with all the feedback – so appreciated guys! I also totally forgot to…

So today is not much better in terms of sleep or sick children.  But it’s Michael McIntyre day and that just makes everything better!  We are going to sit so…

I’ve been trying to put it off for a while, but for those of you that have been bitten by the bug you will know that resistance is futile –…

So the girls were a bit miffed with me that I didn’t show you any of the pictures that they took of our holiday.  Actually they didn’t care, because when…

Right now I am sitting bundled up in about 100 blankets and still freezing to death.  Sick again.  Yippee.  (Yes, that’s right – if you actually care you might remember…

Growing up my brother and I would hurl the most disgusting insults at each other for no other reason than to cause a fight.  I always won.  Obviously.  I think…

You know, sometimes I sit here, desperate for something to say but I just can’t think of anything.  I start typing a thousand different things only for them to be…
