Our House, In The Middle Of The Street

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,…

So much to do – so little time.  This month is crazy busy, like full on cray cray.  We’ve already started with the parties and the packing, but there are…

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. …

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…

I never realised how much stress one can experience in trying to sell their house.  Or waiting to know if one should sell their house, is probably more appropriate. At…

My normally camera shy baby posed purposefully for these pictures…  As in, she really wanted me to take them!  I’m still kind of in shock.  She is most gorgeous, just…

So I thought it would be fitting for me to write the DIY posts about our Old House, since I am the one doing the DIY projects! By this sentence…

I guess that’s a weird thing to acknowledge.  But there is a reason for the random statement – besides the sick realisation that the year is almost on the downward…

You’ve heard that saying “a change is as good as a holiday“, right?  Well my guess is that the person that said it wasn’t on holiday, or on a holiday…

We hardly entertain at our house.  Even though I absolutely love to put a table together with all the garnishes, I hardly ever have the chance to do it.  Besides…

I might not have ever mentioned it, but I live in the same house that I did when I was growing up.  After Seth and I got married we took…

Seen the new Batman movie?  Then this line might stick out for you, “They Only Took Me Seriously When I Put On The Mask” and if not, it certainly stood…

Normally having a dog living next door would not be news.  And really it isn’t, except that this blasted dog belongs to our amazing neighbours…  Yeah, those ones.  Anyway.  This…

What better way to end a week than to meet up with fellow Mom’s and have a play date.  At first I didn’t really value the importance of these, but…

Crazily enough we feel that we are finally at a place where we have enough time and energy to spend a little bit of it on the garden (I know…

Except it wasn’t.  Two very different, but equally blog-worthy things happened today.  But before I get into that, I would also just like to say that I am so ready…

It was a fine Summer’s night in our little house in Cape Town.  As usual on glorious nights like these we dress up and go out for a night on…

We all have our fears…  Heights, flying, snakes, spiders cockroaches, moths…  Gecko’s?!?! Seth has this heart stopping, body freezing fear for Geckos.  Put him in a room with one of them…

It recently occured to me that we must have the worst neighbours in all the land. Before Cindy and I tied the knot, we were quite aware of the  noisy neighbours…
