Good morning lovelies! I have been trying to work at home some evenings and when I have a Milo break I have a nifty little screen saver that shows me…

I was halfway through writing a deep and meaningful post about moving houses when I was stopped by this dude. I think he did the world a favour.  He actually…

Goodness, this weekend totally owned me.  For reals.  I am more exhausted now than I was before it started.  We have been very busy making sure that our kids get…

I haven’t watched this movie.  But if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that Stella was a part time working Mom of 3 lovely, but busy and…

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…

Welcome to Monday.  We’re all still feeling under the weather over here at the Alfino snot factory, um I mean abode, and I know it seems too soon for it to…

It’s not often that we get to have a “free” Saturday – and by that I mean a Saturday where we are not obligated to chauffeur our children to their…

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…

Taking a look back at the last couple of posts and I realised that a very special person seems to be missing in all of them.  I’m not sure how…

It seems to be birthday season at the moment, the girls celebrations are still dying down in our house and yet we are attending parties like it’s going out of…

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…

Long weekends are amazing aren’t they!  We packed so much in to this weekend (literally packed and parties and teas and meeting up with visiting family) that we were so…

This weekend the old gang got together.  And I almost didn’t recognise them.  Just take a look at them just 9 months ago…  Now look at these… These kids went…

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…

I have now packed a total of 7 boxes.  I am so proud of myself right now.  And for some reason I just can’t get enough of this packing thing,…

It’s finally happened.  All the papers are signed (well not really, because I’m not counting all the mountain of legal paperwork to come) but the decision making papers are signed. …

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…

After taking a little reflection moment just a month ago, looking at the kids at 9 months and trying to tell the difference, I wondered if we would be able…
