It’s been said that once you have children, you’ll never sleep again. No, darn it.  Sorry.  I always get that confused with the “sleep when the baby sleeps” phrase everyone…

Winter Is Coming! Can you tell that we started watching Game Of Thrones a couple of weeks back?  I just can’t help but repeat this phrase over and over, because,…

I have been dying to get my hands on these images ever since we spent a morning capturing them a few weeks ago. We ventured out into Wynberg park very…

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…

It turns out that even after 5 years worth of practice, I am horribly useless at packing our baby bag. I’d call it a nappy bag, but that’s kind of…

Do you know what I realised this weekend? You never fully “own” this parenting thing.  Yes, some days are great and you totally feel like you got this parenting gig…

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…

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…

I have totally given up trying to get the girls to wear the clothing that I wish they wore. You know the kind that if it was just a little…

They woke up happy, haven’t fought once and they even said “thank you” after you gave them their breakfast. They’ve lulled you into a false sense of security – “nothing…

So we’ve been working on our lifestyle change for close on 3 months now.  It’s been challenging, but I think that we have finally gotten into the groove of it all…

Since we’re all about equality and stuff, it’s only fair that since we have given you a sneak peak of the girls range for Autumn that we should do the…

My sweetest Knox, As I write this your Daddy is trying really hard to get you to fall asleep in your own bed, without being cuddled to sleep (as we…

We officially have no more babies in our house. I’m simultaneously ecstatic and miserable about this.  Weird hey?  I guess it’s because I know that he is the last baby…

Can you feel that glorious South African sun creeping into your windows and warming up those toes? I don’t know about you, but Summer is starting to emerge around here…

Everyday I sit with my kids in the afternoon and try and establish what they did that day.  Sometimes it’s easy and they just tell me exactly what happened, but…
