Day Trips

With all the new changes that I have made in this last week (cutting out dairy, grain and sugar), work being hectic and life being hectic too, I’m finding myself…

One of our favourite things to do is drive into a brand new place, with no plan or agenda and just see where we land up. I get that this…

We tend to stumble across awesome places completely by accident, which is exactly how we ended up at Vergelegen. How do we do it by accident?  Well, we do this…

OK, so here’s what I thought I knew about Babylonstoren… It’s one of those places that you have on your hit list but you’re not really sure why, except that…

We recently went to  the sweetest dinosaur party. My photos don’t do justice to the hard work and planning that went on behind the scenes, but my friend Zoë and…

Along with Summer comes the much anticipated school holidays and festive season.  It’s possibly my absolute favourite time of the year.  The excitement of being home and able to do…

I don’t normally post on the weekend, because like, it’s the weekend. But I’m breaking bad just once to share more of the pictures of Knoxs Shaun the Sheep party…

Stellenbosch you have my heart. I feel like I left some of it there after our visit the other day.  Which is a good thing, because now I have a…

Sometimes doing things for the first time can be really scary. But flying a kite is not even close to that at all. If you get it right, it can…

There’s this place called Oude Molen Eco Village. From the outside it appears to be the kind of place that you don’t ever want to see the inside of.  So…

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…

It was still dark when we woke up, stumbling around to get everything together that I thought I had so carefully planned out the night before.  We gently woke the…

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…

When I think of awesome destination places to go in Cape Town, I’ll be honest – Sea Point is not even in my Top 10.  Well, let me correct that…

There’s this saying that goes something like, “With great parenting come great responsibility“. Not quite right?  Maybe.  But I think that parenting automatically gives you some cray super powers that…

Flip, our poor dogs. In case you were wondering about adding a pet to your life, let me give you a little heads up – DON’T!  I mean I love…

If I could live anywhere in Cape Town it would be Noordhoek. I’ve spoken about it before so I am not going to bore you with this again but now…

Statistically speaking 80% of people that go away on holiday come back and want a holiday after their holiday to recover from their holiday.  Also, 90% of you will agree…

Oh hello there. I’m going to take a break from current regular program (of giveaways everyday) and share loads of photos of a super cool Minnie and Mickey Mouse party…

A couple of Saturday’s ago – when it was really rainy and wet in Cape Town, I bundled my kids up into the car and we set out for the…

For quite a long time now I’ve seen people throw coloured paint at each other.  It’s always been pictures though and it’s this thing that originated for the Holi Festival…

I keep making this specific promise to my girls. Over and over again.  Then getting so mad with myself that I couldn’t keep it.  Even though I had every intention…

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…
