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…

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…

I’ve been checking the postbox with nervous excitement every day since Sticky Fudge asked us for our postal address. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first shoot went…

I need to work on balancing our weekends.  Seriously, it’s a problem. On Saturday morning we left at 9.30 and only got home at 11pm (if you excluded the very…

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…

At the end of last year we sat pondering what on Earth to get our family for Christmas.  Eventually we decided that we weren’t going to waste money on random…

Sunday mornings aren’t really the time to talk about work.  Although if you really think about it, there is never really a good time to talk about work is there?…

Back at work today – sad face of note. But instead on dwelling on that, I’m thinking of all the fun things that we got to do this holiday with…

Another tattoo has been added to my little collection. I guess it’s a bit like Pringles, in that once you start you can’t stop. But seriously, I’m sitting here with…

I love the holidays. They have always been my favourite time of the year, I guess it’s hard to not enjoy sitting in the sun, swimming in the pool, catching…

I’ll tell you what they have in common – they are both the absolute cutest things ever in the World! To end the year off at school, the girls had…

I cannot believe that yesterday I dropped my kids off for the last day of their first year of school. It really seems like just yesterday I was stressing over…

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…

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…

I’ve been finding it difficult to take pictures recently.  Not that it’s my job or anything, but I normally really love to do it.  I don’t know why I’ve been…

I can’t believe our birthday has come and gone already without it even really feeling like it was even here.  With so much going on with the move and everything,…

Our mealtimes aren’t the same as they were before. I’m not talking about before the kids – where we could just focus on getting our own food in our own…

Who has two thumbs and something to give away? *points thumbs at herself* This girl does. Man I love that joke.  I’ve been saying it all morning while I was…

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…

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…
