Day Trips

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 –…

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…

This warm weather has put a spring in my step.  It’s glorious. I can’t wait to leave the office so that I can go and sit in the sun with…

One of the things that we really enjoy doing as a family is going out and having meals together at various restaurants.  I kind of love the chaos that we…

So in case you missed it, yesterday was Mothers Day.  If you missed it and you are a Dad, you probably realised that you missed it when you found yourself…

So today is not much better in terms of sleep or sick children.  But it’s Michael McIntyre day and that just makes everything better!  We are going to sit so…

Going out in public always entails the same thing for us no matter where we go.  Sometimes it’s just a whisper, other times an assumed statement made to their friends,…

What a crazy, manic week last week was.  For some reason I thought it was possible to regain some sense of normality this weekend, but I don’t know what I…

It was Seth’s birthday this past Tuesday.  If you’re a Capetonian you will know that this was also the day of the RHCP concert.  What you might not know is…

OK, so this title might be misleading, there was no real boxing taking place in Kalk Bay, unless you count the intermittent fights between the girls.  What is Boxing Day…

Noordhoek is special for us.  It’s the place that we celebrated our wedding day (our reception was at Monkey Valley and we took our pictures on Noordhoek Beach).  Besides that,…

Just before the holidays ended we decided to spend a Saturday morning at Giraffe House with special friends, relishing in the little bit of time that we had left together to…

It’s amazing how you can go to the same place over and over but each time you find something new to experience. We ventured out to Imhoff Farm for some…

Last weekend a friend of mine asked me to takes pics of their family of 3 before it becomes a family of 4.  Now even though I love taking pictures…

Quite a while ago some of us gathered together at Pink to celebrate Lizanne and the imminent arrival of baby Naomi. With 4 tiny babies and 4 toddlers it was…

One of my new little ways of spending time with the girls is to leave Knox with Seth’s Mom and then take them to the park for a quick run…

This past Monday the girls, Knox, my Mom and I went to our first play date since Knox was born.  Which was only 6 days before that.  I know it…

What a hectic week!  We have been home since Thursday and for the most part it’s been going really well, despite a disgustingly early bout of mastistis.  Yesterday Seth went…

I mentioned on Facebook the other day that I just can’t believe that we are at that phase where the girls can ride their own bikes to the park and…

This week I have had the privilege of being at home with my munchkins under the guise of “maternity leave” – because let’s face it…  Toddlers just don’t get that…

I’m sure that you have all seen by now that Kyla is kind of obsessed with pink, and thankfully Riya just goes with whatever is happening and is not really…

Let’s first clarify (before you think that I have denied my kiddiewinkles the true joy that comes from shoving cold ice cream into your mouth hole) – the girls have…

I’ve mentioned before that Kyla LOVES playdates.  Literally shouting, “Yay, yay, yay” when I tell her that we are going to one, and I’ve even gotten them to start saying…
