Cape Town

It’s been a while since we last caught up on how much progress we’re making on heading out on our adventure in a couple months.  I wish I could reveal…

I need very little encouragement to get dressed up.  Wedding?  Yes, I’m there!  Dress up party?  Tell me the theme and I’ll agonise over it for ages to find the…

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…

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,…

What do cute little penguins, colourful gems and vintage toys have in common?  Simon’s Town that’s what.  As our last ode to the holidays before heading back to work, we…

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…

Contrary to what my husband may believe, I often wake up in the mornings wondering what I’m going to make for supper that evening.  I say that Seth wouldn’t believe…

Our girls have been able to ride a bike for years now.  They just got it somehow.  I mean I wasn’t there because I was at work and Papa put…

How are your holidays going?  For me I have noticed a remarkable difference in my children in the sense that they just aren’t themselves.  It’s amazing how much the holidays…

Kombucha.  Whether you’ve been actively trying to find natural ways to better your diet or whether you have just been on the internet around some health conscious individuals, I have…

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…

Winter has finally presented itself in Cape Town.  And it was kind of like one of those go big or go home situations.  All or nothing.  Not only did the…

I’ve been promising it for a while now, but it’s finally here!  Drum roll please… Kyla and Riya present their first review and giveaway! After earning their sweet little Crystal…

Eight years ago I was gearing up to pop out my very first baby.  It seems almost surreal now that I think about it.  My stomach enlarging to what a…

Our kids seem to have caught the bug of trying new things all the time.  I’m pretty sure that we’re raising children with the wanderlust gene. Which is TOTES our…

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…

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…

It’s so amazing to me how you can take a break and feel so wonderfully well rested, but then head back to work for a week and it’s like you’ve…

Guys I’m sorry.  I have to confess something. I’ve been holding out on you. The thing is, I know some of you share my hearty dislike for regular cooking and…

It hasn’t been a long week, but it has been a busy one! I’m so pleased to be able to bring back an instalment of this series.  It’s been a…

Oh my good gracious me.  How on Earth is it 6 August tomorrow?  This #CTMeetUp has literally snuck up on me and even though I know that I have this…
