Places We’ve Lived

Our lounge is the heart of our home – everything happens in it. In Winter we find ourselves huddled around the fire, sharing pizza and laughing at yet another animated…

I love our house. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that before?  Probably.  But really.  I feel like although it’s not perfect, every part of it is perfect for us…

A couple of weeks ago Seth sent me a link for a sale that was happening on Superbalist.  The link was for a ring to replace his very broken (and…

So as it turns out, I might be a little bit more attached to my sweet potato plants than what is considered normal. But who cares about normal anyway? Since…

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…

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…

We got Christmassy all up in our hizzle this weekend and it was glorious. I decided to heck with it, we feel like putting up the tree now so we’re…

This weekend was a blur of Christmas trees, airport adventures, decorations EVERYWHERE, fun family playdates and twinkly lights.  Which, if you need a quick translation, means that it was actually…

I have never enjoyed being home with my family as much as I am right now. Maybe it’s just the new house and all the great, new things that go…

Since the move things have been pretty crazy.  Apparently there is a whole lot of stuff that you have to do besides just getting moving and unpacking your crap.  I’m…

Do you know what’s been the hardest thing about the move?  Not having internet.  Boy do I miss getting on my laptop, downloading all the photos I’ve taken of memories…

They say moving is one of the most stressful things that you will ever do.  When I first heard this, I mentally laughed at all those silly, disorganised people.  However,…

So the 1st of September happened yesterday.  In case you didn’t notice. I almost didn’t, but when I did realise what day it was, I got a massive fright.  I…

I have now packed a total of 7 boxes.  I am so proud of myself right now.  And for some reason I just can’t get enough of this packing thing,…

I’ve probably seemed quite negative around these here blog parts over the last couple of weeks and despite my word for the year being “positive” I sometimes struggle to maintain…

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 me just start off with a little apology for being a bit scarce for the last couple of days.   It seems that, unbeknownst to me, I have become a…

My normally camera shy baby posed purposefully for these pictures…  As in, she really wanted me to take them!  I’m still kind of in shock.  She is most gorgeous, just…

I like to DIY as much as the next girl. So pretty much not at all. Seth on the other hand, is lost in some kind of woodchipped, paint stained…

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…

Apparently today is a special day for some people…  So happy Valentine’s Day to you.  But if you totally couldn’t care less about it (as I do), I’ll give you…

We hardly entertain at our house.  Even though I absolutely love to put a table together with all the garnishes, I hardly ever have the chance to do it.  Besides…

Do you remember that storm this past Monday that everyone was so chuffed with?  You know, the one where everyone was all over Facebook and Twitter telling us how amazing…
