Who has two thumbs and something to give away? *points thumbs at herself* This girl does. Man I love that joke.  I’ve been saying it all morning while I was…

When I was pregnant with Kyla, we would often take our time in the mornings to get ready and still arrive at the Old Biscuit Mill at 9am.  Aaaah, the…

Do you know that it apparently snows on Table Mountain once every 10 years or so?  I was seriously not aware that had ever snowed on Table Mountain, and so…

So the 1st of September happened yesterday.  In case you didn’t notice. I almost didn’t, but when I did realise what day it was, I got a massive fright.  I…

Happy Friday people! Man I am glad that it’s almost the weekend, this week has been a long and tiring one.  Being sick and having sick kids is just not…

I like to make a big deal out of things. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but I will make it one.  It could be anything really –…

Do you remember way back when you were at school and you had a civvies day or a “bring a monkey to school” day or a “wear your pants on…

Today I am sitting in the midst of 3 sick, moody children and I think that I am slowly losing the battle, in the fight against all the germs that…

It has become apparent to me that soon our faces are going to be plastered right at the top of every restaurant list, right under the “DO NOT LET THESE…

I’m so sick of thinking about packing and not packing and how I should be packing that I have decided to think about beautiful clothes instead.  Aaaaah, that’s better. On…

This weekend was a great success in the packing front and by that I mean that it totally wasn’t.  Unless packing 4 boxes is considered success.  Anyway, it helped me…

This week has been pretty amazing – on the blogging side of things anyway.   The Spar Savour Magazine issue is just too cute and then thanks to Sticky Fudge,…

Have I mentioned that we took away Riya’s num num? I don’t think I have, which is quite weird considering it has made a huge change to the stability that…

So remember the other day I destroyed my kitchen to do something awesome that I was stupidly cryptic about.  Well today it’s live. Like out there for the world to…

So we had a mermaid party.  Although as it turns out there was only one beautiful mermaid and it wasn’t even one of our girls, even though she could be…

I know that I am seriously slacking in the blogging front right now.  For example we had a pretty awesome mermaid party on the weekend that went from this pile…

Every year I like to throw the girls a nice party. I suppose I feel this need because, well, it’s their birthday and it only comes around once a year. …

My baby girl, you’re 3 today!  Well actually you have been 3 for 3 days now, but I haven’t really had a chance to sit down and write to you…

This picture says it all… Side smile… Things are a bit crazy this side.  But maybe I’ll have some good news soon!   Wordless Wednesday was last modified: July 24th,…

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…

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…
