What’s Your Life Like?

When we came up with the name Knox it was pretty much because we have a thing for short names (Cindy, Seth, Kyla, Riya…), we liked how it sounded and…

So, maybe you can help me find my daughter.  I know she’s there somewhere.  Can you see her? What about now? Aaaah, there she is. I suppose I should tell…

I haven’t watched this movie.  But if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that Stella was a part time working Mom of 3 lovely, but busy and…

Do you remember way back when you were at school and you had a civvies day or a “bring a monkey to school” day or a “wear your pants on…

It’s quite a nice feeling to finally be sort of in control of a situation.  The knock on effect is that I am able to deal with everything else a…

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…

One of the things that we really enjoy doing as a family is going out and having meals together at various restaurants.  I kind of love the chaos that we…

I never realised how much stress one can experience in trying to sell their house.  Or waiting to know if one should sell their house, is probably more appropriate. At…

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…

Guys, tonight we are going to have one whole night to ourselves.  One whole entire night.  With not one child. I’m so excited that I might just do a back…

On Friday our girls said goodbye to to their teachers for the next three weeks.  They left happy and excited about these things called “holidays” and “reports”.  For now all…

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.…

This kid…  This one right here…. With his coy shyness… His gorgeous giggle… And his sweet dimple smile… He steals my heart. Every single day!       He’s Stolen…

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…

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…

Hi Ho There. I have been sitting here for the past 20 minutes thinking about what to tell you and I am afraid I’ve got nothing. Nothing. It’s quite weird…

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,…

Do you ever over analyse your children?  I should probably be more specific.  Every time they do something, like take a keen interest in the names of trees it crosses my mind…

Finally I have a chance to sit down and actually write a little bit, instead of placating you with pictures of my kids.  But to be honest I don’t know…

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…

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…

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…
