Welcome back to my favourite series! I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment.  Here are the other features in case you want to catch up. Here’s a little…

On the weekend we had a Rainbows and Kites party for the girls. It took a while to decide on the theme because every girl and her imaginary friend wants…

If, like me this body looks a little weird to you, I asked and she drew the dress as part of the body – hence the lumps on the side.…

It’s happening.  Like really happening. We had such a great time at the #CTMeetUp last year that we thought that we would have another (smaller) meet up that only focused…

Every Sunday night was the same…  We’d go to church and then to our best friends place (or they’d come to ours) and we’d have an easy supper.  It was…

If I claimed this to a definitive guide to party packs I’d basically be saying that I’m Martha Stewart.  And we all know that’s about as true as saying Saturday…

When I pictured our first day of school I prepared for the worst. I envisioned children that had unbrushed hair, mismatched clothes and questionable status on teeth brushing to be thrown…

What is it about kids that makes them want to be super helpful at inappropriate times? You know what I mean.  It would really be helpful if they chose to…

I love our house. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that before?  Probably.  But really.  I feel like although it’s not perfect, every part of it is perfect for us…

Once upon a very long time ago, I went to a holiday club that was based on the Cludo board game.  We literally went around interviewing Mr Green in the…

Our hearts do many things.  Sometimes they feel a deep sadness with an unexpected loss, sometimes a deep and unfaltering love for a partner and sometimes they just want to pop…

I don’t have a bucket list. If I did, it would include a lot of traveling, eating and drinking a lot of authentic food (that DOESN’T involve bugs, snakes, blood,…

Do you know what happens when I open my laptop at home (while the kids are awake)? Let me share – lsfkjsoijlksfh lseehfkk sifhlk hhhhhhhh  kkkkk ujha,kj,kjkj Followed by closing…

Maybe the title is slightly misleading. Feeling blue is totally not about any emotional state around here (even though Knox seems to be coming down with something).  We are all…

Becoming a Mom is such a unifying experience. Obviously excluding those competitive momversations, put two women together (that don’t know each other) and if they have kids they are basically…

Before I share loads of pictures of the fun and shenanigans that we got up to at the #CTmeetup, I have some thanking to do. First and foremost a huge…

Despite how hectic planning a party can be, I am kind of sad that the girls party is over. So let’s quickly relive it through pictures, OK? In case you…

Flipping Winter. I don’t know about you, but this Winter has hit us hard.  There are just far too many bugs going around for it to be normal. Just a…

* Today is Kyla’s birthday and I just couldn’t get words to work for me, so  instead of a letter to her, I’ll post the next best thing.  How to…

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…

So, like, I really try not to make this space one where it seems like we have it all together and get all the cool things and do all the…

The other morning I was getting the girls dressed for school and I could not find one warm top that I could put on for them.  Not a single one.…

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…
