We all know that women feel overwhelmingly passionate about many things. Their man (or any man for that matter) deciding to grow the fuzz on their face is no exception…

What is it about kids that makes them want to be super helpful at inappropriate times? You know what I mean.  It would really be helpful if they chose to…

When Seth told me that he had organised us a holiday on a farm I was dubious. He joked with me that we’d be camping and sleeping on the floor…

Let’s quickly recap on the events of the week so far: Monday: YES! I’m so ready to go back to work.  I’m going to kick this years butt.  300 emails?…

I’m not usually a feeler. My emotions are normally kept under a fairly thick skin that regulates all the little feely things that I witness so often in the big…

Once upon a very long time ago, I went to a holiday club that was based on the Cludo board game.  We literally went around interviewing Mr Green in the…

There is only 14 days until Christmas.  We have bought the kids gifts and one of the adults.  I think that says enough about my current state of frenzy.  There’s…

Our love for Sticky Fudge is rather well documented. It probably comes as no surprise that I might be obsessed, as I am sure you can understand.  In fact, if…

I didn’t blog yesterday. This might sound like a “duh” kind of statement, but for me it’s a liberating one.  You see, I committed (to myself) that I WILL post…

Welcome back to another installment in our new series – I’m A Mom With Tattoos.  In case you have missed the last couple, don’t forget to check them out here. I…

I know many of us are feeling that annoying end of the year busy/crazy/just make it stop thing, but maybe having something to look forward to in the new year…

Summer is here! How do I know?  Well, we spent last night huddled together under the stars watching Moulin Rouge and we didn’t end up enacting the scenes from Titanic…

It turns out that even after 5 years worth of practice, I am horribly useless at packing our baby bag. I’d call it a nappy bag, but that’s kind of…

Welcome back to another installment in our new series – I’m A Mom With Tattoos.  In case you have missed the last couple, don’t forget to check them out here. YAY!…

We don’t do Halloween. And not in a jerky “it’s not a South African holiday so why are they even doing it” kind of way, but more of a “I’ve…

Happy Monday! I know those don’t usually go together in the same sentence, but despite it being the start of the new work week, I am in a really good…

Summer is here. (I’m inclined to say FINALLY, but I don’t want to sound ungrateful and scare her away again). Sitting in the sun and feeling the warmth that unfreezes…

You know when I have so much to say but don’t know how to say it properly I whip up a good old faithful “Currently” post.  Maybe it seems like…

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Do you know what I realised this weekend? You never fully “own” this parenting thing.  Yes, some days are great and you totally feel like you got this parenting gig…
