Before I really get into this, I just want to have a declaration of sorts.  I know most of you sort of know me by now and are familiar with…

The first time I ever got on a plane, it was to go on my honeymoon – I was 20.   Seems like a lifetime ago now seeing as we’re about…

We are currently going through a bit of a love/hate relationship with Knox’s hair.  I mean, yes, he looks flipping cute with those curly locks hanging around his ears.  But…

In case you are wondering…  The answer is yes.  Yes, we are in fact those weirdos that live out of their campervan while it’s parked in their front garden.  I…

I always thought that mothers were being over-dramatic when they complained about all the laundry that they had to do.  Like, yes, I know that kids can’t even eat toast…

After putting together a pretty comprehensive list of all my fellow parenting blogs in Cape Town, I thought I’d keep going and do it for the rest of the country…

Like most of you guys we started back at school last week.  And wow, it’s only been like 4 days but we are already back in full swing.  Extra murals…

A little while back we journeyed all the way from Cape Town up to Kimberley.  Why would we travel such a great distance?  Well, it was because we set our…

Over the years I have had the opportunity to be interviewed a few times and it’s been fun sharing our story with others.  Usually every single interview contains the same…

Just look at good old Optimus there.  Back when he was working and stuff.  I’d taken the girls to the park when Seth came rolling up with Knox and the…

Over the weekend we thought we’d go on a hike.  Cool.  The kids were on board, got up and dressed pretty quickly – which is highly unusual in and of…

Over the holidays Knox went for his operation to have his grommets put in.  It took us quite a while to realise that he needed them, but when we did,…

We had a super chilled holiday in the sense that aside from a little trip out to Frog Mountain, we spent the rest of the time in Cape Town.  But…

Mandatory road trip stop to Frog Mountain.  Or anywhere really. The little holiday that I mentioned in my last post is this one – our trip to Frog Mountain.   We…

We have decided to keep Knox in Grade RR for another year. Bit of a shocker hey?  Maybe only to me.  Honestly I didn’t think I’d ever find myself in…

Hello! Jeepers it’s been a long time since I’ve been sitting behind my computer.  I mean I’ve been doing a bit of work every now and then, but sitting here…

Today is our second last day in office before heading out on HOLIDAY!  Hooray! Our holiday plans are always pretty chilled.  We’re not about to fly all five of us…

Howzit guys!  How are you enjoying the wind down to the end of the year?  I am honestly struggling to stay focused.  No that’s not right, I’m super focused, the…

There was a time in my life where I would be very easily angered.  Maybe it was someone saying something stupid.  Or doing something stupid.  Or just generally acting like…

I know we’ve been seeing Christmas wrapping and listening to Christmas music in the shops for ages now, but for us it still didn’t feel like Christmas.  Well to me…

It seems crazy to think that I have been “grey haired” for more than two whole years.  This picture up there was taken in August 2015 when I was trying…

I don’t know about you guys, but ain’t nobody got time to prep and make a cake in the oven these days.  It’s just not going to happen.  Especially in…

I was genuinely surprised this year when I asked the girls what they wanted their party theme to be.  I assumed that My Little Pony would be the top of…

I don’t know if you guys remember, but we’ve had some issues with Knox’s ears over the years.  And his speech.  And his body movement, but today we are focusing…
