Cape Town

So we’ve um’ed and ah’ed about getting the girls ears pierced for ages because the truth is, I was terrified of taking them.  I mean, I had no idea how…

Just before I got really sick with the meningitis, we went away for the weekend to Marshden Estate.  A sweet little farm off the R44 – somewhere between Somerset West…

I can’t believe it’s Friday again and that it’s time to interview another family for our series. This week we’re hearing from Australian Katie who tells us about how she…

So I know leaving the house to go and walk into a room full of bloggers at the #CTMeetUp is not actually high up on the list of things to…

Well hello there! Good to see you.  Are you as happy as I am that today is Friday?  If Friday had a face, I’d smooch it.  I’d smooch it hard.…

I was going to name this post, “What Happened When I Culled My Instagram Following”. But that’s just blatant click bait isn’t it?  It’s hard to snap out of that…

In our house we like to play to our strengths. What does that mean?  Well, my strength is that I happen to be home early enough to make supper, so…

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer, but despite this I find that I am still not getting enough sleep.  You too? In case you’re wondering,…

GOSH darnit, what a day. A very, very hot day.  Here I was thinking that Summer was over and that we’d be snuggling up to each other to keep warm and…

It’s ALMOST time for the #CTMeetUp and I know what you’re thinking. You’re either kicking yourself for missing out on a ticket or wondering how the heck it’s almost time to…

It seems that we’ve reached this awkward age of parenting and despite wishing so many long, hard days away (and not having them go any faster than they were going…

Shew guys. Still recovering from the excitement of launching the #CTMeetUp ticket sales yesterday. All the admin and overflowing inbox will totally be worth it on 9 April! Today I…

This day could not have come soon enough!   Today we’re chatting to Nondumiso who has graciously agreed to share her story with us.  Just grabbing my cup of coffee…

I know what you’re thinking. But you’re wrong. Today is not a normal Friday.  Oh no.  Today we celebrate Seths 31st year in this World.  At the risk of laying…

Happy happy Friday folks! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if the last couple of months has taught me of anything, it’s that although we think race is no…

Besides party planning, the next thing that I like to challenge myself with is kids fashion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not hard to find good quality and visually appealing…

Oh no hang on.  We didn’t get that snip.  Despite the prescription from my gynie after we had Knox, Seth still has all of his swimmers in the race, if you know…

Guys I had a baby and then I closed my eyes and then I opened them and I had a baby going to Grade 1.  Grade freaking 1.  How even?…

Just when we’d gotten our kids into the habit of sleeping late and having to wake Knox up at 9 (when he still hadn’t emerged from his Hulk cave), we…

We’re finally on holiday. Just thinking the words brings up a mental image of people playing trumpets and jingling all the bells while we do the running man in the…

Better late than never right?! I almost missed posting this today, but take that life – I win.  At this at least. I’m glad that you’re back to read the…

YAY for Friday am I right? I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment in our series.  If this is the first time you’re joining us – WELCOME,…

It was just another day. Well not really.  It was quite a hectic day at work with more than normal to handle and I was feeling a little frazzled.  Frazzled…
