I don’t know if it’s just because Rome was my first international city or if it’s because I really am a city girl at heart, but saying goodbye to Rome…

A couple of weekends ago we trekked to the other side of the Western Cape, to the mountains of Matroosberg.  Why would we go there?  Well it depends who you…

Look what we found again after we’d gotten back to Rome from our day climbing Mount Vesuvius and exploring Pompeii.  Yip you guessed it.  That flipping fountain.  Which is actually…

When we started planning our trip to Italy we decided on one thing – this trip wasn’t to chill.  It was to see all the things.  The reality is that…

Our first day in Rome is not finished yet. If you thought those were all the pictures we took let me just take a minute laugh and laugh and laugh.…

Our first day hitting Roman soil was exhilarating, overwhelming and just so wonderfully amazing.  We hit the ground running and basically didn’t stop until we’d done about 40km, gotten sufficiently…

After months of planning itineraries, some sleepless nights stressing about said itineraries and a flip load of worrying about a million little things, we awoke to the day of our…

Every single time I told someone that we weren’t taking suitcases with us to Italy, they just looked at me and laughed.  Or if they were too polite to laugh…

It was my Mom’s birthday on the last public holiday that we had and so I wanted to treat her to a lovely breakfast out at one of my favourite wine…

I think I may have mentioned once or twice that we got our dogs because we really wanted dogs.  But also maybe because I was so freaking broody that it…

It’s so easy to get caught up in the busy isn’t it? You know what I mean right?  Having a crazy busy week filled with work, extra murals, homework, stress,…

Yesterday we went into great detail about our trip to Greyton which is just two hours drive from Cape Town.  But today I thought I’d do something different – a…

It’s official.  We have the VISAs and so these crazy kids are about to set off on our very first international trip to Italy. I think if you could bottle…

You’d think after being together for about 13 years that I’d know when Seth was up to something. Turns out that I don’t.  Like not even a little bit. I…

This past weekend we ventured out to friends that stay near the coastline and so they suggested that while we were there, we should pop over to the beach. When…

Last weekend we celebrated the birthdays of two very special men at a restaurant in the Groot Constantia Wine Farm.  Once we were there, they didn’t want to leave!  We…

Seth and I are born and bred Cape Town folk.  Which means that our kids are also born and bred in this beautiful city.  Basically, we live in the shadow…
