fun

This blogging gig is great. Not only do I get to express myself, capture memories and the ups and downs of parenting, connect with others, give and find encouragement in…

A little while ago one of my bests dropped the bombshell that she would be leaving me.  Her hubs and kids would be moving to New Zealand.  It left us…

On the last night of our holiday I cried myself to sleep. Not because I was so sad to be leaving – although that was true.  It was because one…

When Seth told me that he had organised us a holiday on a farm I was dubious. He joked with me that we’d be camping and sleeping on the floor…

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…

There is only 14 days until Christmas.  We have bought the kids gifts and one of the adults.  I think that says enough about my current state of frenzy.  There’s…

I think it’s quite obvious that I wasn’t feeling the Christmas vibe this year and I know many of you have been struggling with the same thing too. But not…

I didn’t blog yesterday. This might sound like a “duh” kind of statement, but for me it’s a liberating one.  You see, I committed (to myself) that I WILL post…

Anyone else feeling totally overwhelmed about this time of the year already? Seriously though, we’re not even fully into the silly season yet and I am already feeling bombarded from…

Summer is here! How do I know?  Well, we spent last night huddled together under the stars watching Moulin Rouge and we didn’t end up enacting the scenes from Titanic…

Summer is here. (I’m inclined to say FINALLY, but I don’t want to sound ungrateful and scare her away again). Sitting in the sun and feeling the warmth that unfreezes…

You know when I have so much to say but don’t know how to say it properly I whip up a good old faithful “Currently” post.  Maybe it seems like…

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…

My Knox Yes, MY Knox. (You’ll have to fight me to call him your Knox – sorry future girlfriend, it’s just how it is around here.) There are so many…

Two years ago I was in an induced labour with Knox. Some of you may have just experienced the Hollywood version of birth, but if you are wondering what real…

Do you know what I’ve been waiting for since I became a Mom? A full nights sleep. 5 years later and I am still waiting… But that aside, things are…

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…

I know what you’re thinking… This doesn’t look like a I’m A Mom With Tattoos posts, and you’d be right.  The honest truth is that my “pipeline” of awesome people…

There was a time (just a few years ago) where I could direct you to the closest baby changing facility in any shopping mall in Cape Town. I could also…

Is it normal to me more obsessed about your kids clothing than your own? I’m going to go with a yes to answer that question because I just can’t help…

Welcome back to another installment in our new series – I’m A Mom With Tattoos.  In case you have missed the last couple, don’t forget to check them out here. My…

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…

Welcome back to another installment in our series – I’m A Mom With Tattoos.  In case you have missed the last couple, don’t forget to check them out here. ONE MORE…
