One and a half weeks. That’s the small amount of time that we have left between now and the much anticipated #CTmeetup.  There’s a few things that still need to…

There was a time in my life when I used to be scared of being alone at home with my kids.  Every moment, from the time I got home at…

Despite how hectic planning a party can be, I am kind of sad that the girls party is over. So let’s quickly relive it through pictures, OK? In case you…

Flipping Winter. I don’t know about you, but this Winter has hit us hard.  There are just far too many bugs going around for it to be normal. Just a…

Sherbs.  I honestly need a weekend to recover from my weekend. That being said, the party was all sorts of fun and the girls had a fantastic time (which is…

Sherbs. Life is crazy this week.  So much to do that I feel like I am running around like a chicken without a head!  Obviously this means a good old…

Oh my Kyla Bells I don’t know why I struggle to write these posts to you. I guess it’s my own silly way of trying to stop you from growing…

* Today is Kyla’s birthday and I just couldn’t get words to work for me, so  instead of a letter to her, I’ll post the next best thing.  How to…

I have totally given up trying to get the girls to wear the clothing that I wish they wore. You know the kind that if it was just a little…

What a weekend.  Please tell me things are going to get warmer from here on?  Please? With the girls birthdays fast approaching (we will have a 5 year old in…

A blonde haired, blue eyed boy. That’s exactly what I envisioned my first child to look like. Obviously after I met Seth and fell madly in love, I kind of knew…

Stellenbosch you have my heart. I feel like I left some of it there after our visit the other day.  Which is a good thing, because now I have a…

Have you ever considered the prospect being able to be a “Stay At Home” Mom? I’m guessing that you probably entertained the idea before deciding that it’s either not possible…

I’m sure that if you are reading this, you have probably journeyed with me through the long process of how I eventually decided to go the Roaccutane route to cure…

Sometimes doing things for the first time can be really scary. But flying a kite is not even close to that at all. If you get it right, it can…

So, like, I really try not to make this space one where it seems like we have it all together and get all the cool things and do all the…

I should probably give you a heads up – if you should happen to see anyone of the Alfino clan roaming the streets looking like a zombie, this is your…

Things are getting back to normal around here. Although I’m not sure how one can really define normal after you lose someone that you love.  For me right now, normal…

Happy Monday! I know those two words don’t usually go in the same sentence, but they do when you get to announce that the #CTmeetup tickets are now officially on…

Things have been a bit crazy and busy around these parts for the last couple of days.  It sounds crass, but there is honestly so much more to a loved…

  As some of you may know, my Dad passed away on Saturday night.   We were blessed to be able to be there with him, but it doesn’t change…
