Like I’ve said before – it’s impossible to do it all. And that’s OK.  Really, it is. Do know the only person that expect us to do it all perfectly all…

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…

A couple of weeks ago our family had the real flipping privilege of being on The Weekend Edition. I’m not going to lie – it was nerve wrecking!  Sitting there…

The other day I was flicking through my photos and I realised something.  I have had grey hair for more than a year now.  Which is quite bizarre actually! Originally…

I decided to throw Seth a surprise party.  Which is cool right?  Except for a few little problems: Seth is actually not that big on social gatherings so he’d either…

I cannot tell you how hectic it was for us going back to school this year.  Except that, I totally did tell you.  Because I have no secrets – my…

Hello there! It’s so lovely to meet you, I’m Cindy – Mom of 3, Wife and Business Woman (or that’s how they described me on The Weekend Edition anyway). That…

If you’ve been wondering around the internet this morning and wondering who is the most excited about Friday, I have the answer for you.  It’s me. This week, although quite…

Even though we spend about 40% of our family time around our dining room table, I didn’t like it. No, don’t get me wrong.  I liked spending time with my…

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…

When we had kids we realised that the time of doing something out and about for New Years was behind us.  We made peace with the fact that we couldn’t…

Never before have I seen my kids so excited to go to bed! But this Christmas Eve, they were begging to get into bed at 5pm already!  Even though they’d…

Just had such a surreal moment. We’d just come back from The Playshed and were sitting watching Matilda when I started trying to work.  This isn’t usually a problem, but…

If you live in Cape Town and have not heard about Uncle Paul’s (or their companions – Uncle Willy’s or The Noddy Party), may I ask you which rock you…

Cape Town has finally wisened up to the fact that it’s Summer. Granted, it may still be as windy as all heck, but at least it’s warm.  I’ll take a…

We are one-fifth of the way in to what could easily be the busiest week ever. In this week alone we are squishing in 3 concerts, a graduation, a karate…

The biggest change since my three week update has to be my attitude. Honestly, I was in a bad place.  There was an insatiable craving deep in my bones –…

A little while ago I wrote about being a NO Mom.  If you missed it, you can catch up here.  I’ll wait. Cool – welcome back. OK, OK.  Before you…

Sheesh guys.  I’m not going to lie.  This last week and a bit on the whole NO dairy, grain and sugar train has been HARD! I think the fact that…

I was going to try and make a joke about the weekend going by so quickly, but it’s just SOOOOO not even funny that I won’t.  Instead let us take…

On Friday we had a wonderful, kid free date night.  Instead of the usual dinner and movie at the Waterfront, we decided to mix it up a bit.  Our plan…

“Hey Mom, can I please have this delicious looking sweet that my friend gave me in my party pack?” “NO!” “Please, please, please, please, please, please can I have it?”…

A couple weeks ago I celebrated the big 30. So for my “party” we took 4 of our favourite couples away with us to the Country House at Kloofzicht Estate in…
