A couple of Saturday’s ago – when it was really rainy and wet in Cape Town, I bundled my kids up into the car and we set out for the…

This face… I can’t even put into words how that little face, with that gorgeous smile and only one half a tooth, just totally makes my heart swell with love.…

I know you parents out there know this, but parenting is no joke.  Seriously the single hardest thing that I have ever done.  But if I could share with you…

Starting to feel a bit nostalgic that my kids have been at school for almost a whole year already!  A year later and Riya is still pulling that smile for…

If there is one thing that Kyla is EXCEPTIONALLY good at – it’s getting fevers. She will go up to 40 degrees without breaking a sweat (or thankfully without any…

Wowzers, this week has been full of really high highs and really low lows.  It’s funny how that happens hey?  Maybe it’s to make you aware of how good you…

The end of the year and more importantly, Christmas has snuck up on me like Seth sneaks up to chocolate – stealthily, with purpose and without a care that you…

I have never enjoyed being home with my family as much as I am right now. Maybe it’s just the new house and all the great, new things that go…

So um, there’s this um, competition thing happening over at Kidz World at the moment and I um, would really like to get all up in that business. Look, I know…

It’s here… Can you feel it?  With the start of November also comes the start of “real” Summer in Cape Town.  The kids went to school this morning with shorts…

* Before I begin – today is #nofilterday, if you’re feeling down about life and thinking that you are not managing everything as well as other Mom’s out there –…

One year old parties are often criticized as being for the parents and not for the kids.  And I suppose that could be kind of true to some people, but…

I’ve been finding it difficult to take pictures recently.  Not that it’s my job or anything, but I normally really love to do it.  I don’t know why I’ve been…

Knox has finally popped a tooth. At last. I’m pretty sure that if he could talk he would say something along the lines of, “I got a tooth, I got…

Recently I have had some time to sit back and reflect on life (with my laptop being busted and all it kind of aided this process).  I even had a…

It seems like just yesterday that I was moaning about all the boxes that I had to pack and get ready to move, but we’ve already been in our new…

Our mealtimes aren’t the same as they were before. I’m not talking about before the kids – where we could just focus on getting our own food in our own…

Do you know what’s been the hardest thing about the move?  Not having internet.  Boy do I miss getting on my laptop, downloading all the photos I’ve taken of memories…

You guys, moving is no joke.  I think my mind is about to break.  Which I’m concerned about – because I’m not quite sure how to get it back together…

They say moving is one of the most stressful things that you will ever do.  When I first heard this, I mentally laughed at all those silly, disorganised people.  However,…

So, there is very little that I feel the need to “brand” or “categorise” as a parent. Whether you formula or breast feed, whether you cloth nappy or only use…
