Places We’ve Been

The last time we went to the beach Riya was freaking out about the sand in her toes.  And the water.  And the dogs.  And the sun.  And the…  Well…

Noordhoek is special for us.  It’s the place that we celebrated our wedding day (our reception was at Monkey Valley and we took our pictures on Noordhoek Beach).  Besides that,…

There are some people that you meet in your life that weave into it and then out, never to be heard from again.  But then there are those that you…

Yesterday my little girls started school.  I can’t believe I have just written those words. The night before I spent hours packing their bags and making sure that everything that…

This year I have had the privilege of getting together with some really wonderful women to create a place where new Mom’s can meet together and get to know one…

Last weekend a friend of mine asked me to takes pics of their family of 3 before it becomes a family of 4.  Now even though I love taking pictures…

Summer is no joke here.  It’s flipping hot and it’s glorious!  This is the weather of champions.  It brings with it all the wonderful things like braai’s, cold drinks on…

Quite a while ago some of us gathered together at Pink to celebrate Lizanne and the imminent arrival of baby Naomi. With 4 tiny babies and 4 toddlers it was…

One of my new little ways of spending time with the girls is to leave Knox with Seth’s Mom and then take them to the park for a quick run…

Our company decided to have a very informal gathering to meet up and just enjoy each others company outside of work.  We were initially going to take a boat out…

What a hectic week!  We have been home since Thursday and for the most part it’s been going really well, despite a disgustingly early bout of mastistis.  Yesterday Seth went…

I don’t like being stuck at home.  It makes me feel bored and like I am just wasting time.  Plus going out has so much more opportunity for adventure and…

This week I have had the privilege of being at home with my munchkins under the guise of “maternity leave” – because let’s face it…  Toddlers just don’t get that…

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling rather drained and tired.  Despite the pregnancy, I think that at this time of the year it happens to every one and…

I’m a working Mom.  I don’t really talk about it much because of the fact that being a “working Mom” brings with it enough criticism, but now I’m not only…

I know yesterday’s post made it look like we were the only ones that attended the party but believe it or not we squeezed like 90 people into the hall…

Let’s first clarify (before you think that I have denied my kiddiewinkles the true joy that comes from shoving cold ice cream into your mouth hole) – the girls have…

So it’s Winter here in Cape Town…  Apparently…  Well, when I wake up in the morning I guess I can believe it, because it’s roughly 4-6 degrees, but on Sunday…

Last year Kyla’s birthday was a little bit lame, we had to work and couldn’t really celebrate properly with her.  But this year her birthday was on a Saturday and…

Because my kiddo’s are not at a play school, I like to give them an opportunity to meet with kids their own age to learn all the lovely social things…

I’ve mentioned before that Kyla LOVES playdates.  Literally shouting, “Yay, yay, yay” when I tell her that we are going to one, and I’ve even gotten them to start saying…

There are few things that you dread more when going out on a date night than getting a call from the baby sitter, except maybe a tornado or a flood…

This comic from 9GAG pretty much sums up our shopping experiences.  I pretty much killed myself laughing at how this could be either of our girls. Kyla is most definitely…
