I can’t believe our birthday has come and gone already without it even really feeling like it was even here.  With so much going on with the move and everything,…

I have briefly surfaced into the land of the living to announce the Antique Fusion winner…  And just so you know, it’s not me – as tempted as I was…

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,…

Everyday I sit with my kids in the afternoon and try and establish what they did that day.  Sometimes it’s easy and they just tell me exactly what happened, but…

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 –…

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…

We did it. We got through Riya’s very first photo shoot and despite all the ups and downs of the day, if you ask her today if she had fun…

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…

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…

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…

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. …

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. …

Things be crazy up in here!  We finally just have one last piece of the puzzle to sort out and then we will be moving.  Crazy but true.  I’m reservedly…

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…

Happy Monday! Or is it?  Well this Monday is a day that is going to be filled with answers to so many questions about whether or not we will definitely…

So…  It seems like in the next few months we will be packing up our bags and moving to the area of our dreams.  And the house of our renovation…

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…
