family

I’ve probably seemed quite negative around these here blog parts over the last couple of weeks and despite my word for the year being “positive” I sometimes struggle to maintain…

Happy Monday! Or is it?  Well this Monday is a day that is going to be filled with answers to so many questions about whether or not we will definitely…

Recently  we’ve had a chance to sit and look through our little badly filmed home videos.  And while they are filled with great memories and a lot of random things,…

Sunday morning was a rush of mixed emotions for me, waking up and realising that I am a Mom to a 4 year old girl is both exciting and sobering.…

Good morning all you lovely people. I’m about to take my kids out to enjoy another beautiful day in the Mother City – to live it up on their last…

One of the things that we really enjoy doing as a family is going out and having meals together at various restaurants.  I kind of love the chaos that we…

“I’m going slightly mad…  I’m going slightly mad…  It finally happened…  It finally happened….  It finally happened…  I’m slightly mad.”  Who can say it better than Queen? As you know…

Let me just start off with a little apology for being a bit scarce for the last couple of days.   It seems that, unbeknownst to me, I have become a…

My normally camera shy baby posed purposefully for these pictures…  As in, she really wanted me to take them!  I’m still kind of in shock.  She is most gorgeous, just…

Guys, tonight we are going to have one whole night to ourselves.  One whole entire night.  With not one child. I’m so excited that I might just do a back…

So this Saturday I was given some time alone to get stuff done. I was meant to paint the bathroom ceiling, put a switch on the extractor fan, put up…

Last night, as I sat pondering what to write about, an image flashed on my screen of a very tiny little Riya that I added to Instagram a while ago.…

I guess that’s a weird thing to acknowledge.  But there is a reason for the random statement – besides the sick realisation that the year is almost on the downward…

One thing I struggle to do is say no (unless I am talking to my children in which case I have nooooo problem).  Don’t you agree that “yes” just rolls of the…

There I was feeling all sorry for myself and things, writing emo posts and saving them to maybe post later.  And there it went…  Right out into the interwebs for all to…

My memory sucks.  That’s nothing new. I do remember now that the power finally went back on and that we are finally back to being able to stare at each other…

I’m kind of over talking about sick children.  Because really, besides you having heard as much about the amount of snot my family can produce, I am just over thinking…

I knew I shouldn’t have said it. I just knew it. You know I bragged in my post the other day that for the first time in forevs none of the…

If you are not a Facebook/Twitter friend, last Tuesday’s post may have lead you to believe that Knox was better.  Although I am sure that you may have gathered by…

Do you ever over analyse your children?  I should probably be more specific.  Every time they do something, like take a keen interest in the names of trees it crosses my mind…

Quite a while ago now we decided to venture out to Hout Bay one evening to experience their indoor market.  We heard that it had a bit of an Old…

Fairies are one of the many new “hits” in our household, and though so many people freak out that their girls are obsessed about one day growing up to be…

Happy mothers day to all you Mommies out there! For those of you who don’t celebrate it, happy Sunday to you!!  We will probably be spending the day a little…
