Family Traditions

One thing I struggle to do is say no (unless I am talking to my children in which case I have nooooo problem).  Don’t you agree that “yes” just rolls of the…

What’s that you say? What on Earth is Fat Friday?  Let me tell you. Fat Friday is possibly the most looked forward to day of our week.  (Except for Saturday…

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…

My memory sucks.  That’s nothing new. I do remember now that the power finally went back on and that we are finally back to being able to stare at each other…

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…

I knew I shouldn’t have said it. I just knew it. You know I bragged in my post the other day that for the first time in forevs none of the…

Hi ho there everyone!  Have a good weekend? We had a weekend.  I think.  It was mostly spent cuddling a very sick little man, making copious amounts of bottles, changing…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Is it too late to tell you about our awesome holiday a couple of weeks ago?  I know, I know.  Bad blogger, but you know what I was sick and…

Is there a way to keep babies tiny and little and baby-like forever?  If you know of something let me know.  The best I’ve come up with is a brick…

Another Valentine’s Day down the hatch.  Thank goodness. I remember a time when we used to celebrate Valentine’s Day…  You know, before we were married with children.  Now we only…

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…

We had a little playdate at our house and I thought it would be cool to put out all the girls dress up clothes so that they could all be…

So a while back there was this big special day that we celebrated but I was kind of busy at the time so I didn’t blog about it.  But I…

                  I love holidays!  Besides just being able to do what we want when we want it and having great family time…

I don’t know what that title has to do with anything except that I was trying to think of 3 of something and that’s all I could come up with.…

So, when Kyla was 2 I sent Seth out to buy her a canvas and 2 different colour paints.  He came back with a MASSIVE canvas which Kyla adored painting.…

One of the things that I have been told by many people is that I must let the older sisters help with bathing or changing nappies so that they can…

When we had Kyla I was in shock with the amount my life changed.  Looking after a little person was no easy task.  When we had Riya, I was like,…

I don’t normally get involved in these things.  I see them and I tell myself that I don’t have time, that it’s “lame” or some other random excuse like I…
