The other morning I was getting the girls dressed for school and I could not find one warm top that I could put on for them.  Not a single one.…

Do you know what happened on Saturday? A lot of my favourite bloggy and twitter people met up for coffee and chats and fun and giggles.  So why the FOMO?…

They woke up happy, haven’t fought once and they even said “thank you” after you gave them their breakfast. They’ve lulled you into a false sense of security – “nothing…

*Disclaimer – I am opening up a little bit of my soul here.  A part of me that I have hidden for almost 5 years.  If you’re squeamish I wouldn’t…

There is hair everywhere and it’s not even November. I know a lot of women complain about “Movember” for months in advance, sometimes the entire year before hand – (complaining is what…

How much did the pirate pay for his peg leg and hook? An arm and a leg *Duh-dum-tish!* Anyway, back to the real reason that I popped onto my favourite…

Every time we head out on the N2 to escape the city, we pass Monkeyland.  Before kids I barely even noticed it as we whizzed on by, but as they…

Pictures are funny things. Although they clearly convey the scene in a crisp image, they can’t always capture the moment in full detail.  Like the early morning wake up for…

It’s no secret that I love a good photo.  It’s also no secret that we have been to Houw Hoek Inn so many times that I have nothing new to…

I’ve been checking the postbox with nervous excitement every day since Sticky Fudge asked us for our postal address. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first shoot went…

Pssst….  Word on the street is that the launch is possibly going to happen today – if that happens you heard it here first…  If it doesn’t come back and…

Is it possible that we ever have absolutely nothing to do?  No washing to hang, no kitchen to tidy, no food to make?  Yeah, I didn’t think so.  But if…

I’ve been doing the strangest thing this week. After getting up, seeing the kids off and showering, I just put on my Dr Hauschka medicated cream and then sit down…

When I entered the giveaway on A Gorgeous Life to win tickets to the Paarl Ommniberg Round The Rock Festival, I did what I usually do – imagined I won and how I…

Love how these posts just sum up exactly what’s going on right now, because without them I can’t seem to get it all together.  Having a couple of fuzzy brain…
