One of the things that we really enjoy doing as a family is going out and having meals together at various restaurants.  I kind of love the chaos that we…

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…

There I was feeling all sorry for myself and things, writing emo posts and saving them to maybe post later.  And there it went…  Right out into the interwebs for all to…

My memory sucks.  That’s nothing new. I do remember now that the power finally went back on and that we are finally back to being able to stare at each other…

Do you ever over analyse your children?  I should probably be more specific.  Every time they do something, like take a keen interest in the names of trees it crosses my mind…

So today is not much better in terms of sleep or sick children.  But it’s Michael McIntyre day and that just makes everything better!  We are going to sit so…

So the girls were a bit miffed with me that I didn’t show you any of the pictures that they took of our holiday.  Actually they didn’t care, because when…

Right now I am sitting bundled up in about 100 blankets and still freezing to death.  Sick again.  Yippee.  (Yes, that’s right – if you actually care you might remember…

You know, sometimes I sit here, desperate for something to say but I just can’t think of anything.  I start typing a thousand different things only for them to be…

It’s quite a scary thing to watch your children doing the things that you used to do when you were little.  It’s even scarier when it doesn’t even seem like…

This last week has been hectic.  Knox has his first real sickness which started with a fine rash from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes,…

The other night while I was putting the girls to sleep, Riya had passed out with ease, but Kyla was a bit restless.  Suddenly she sat up and told me…

Never did I think that having a boy would be so different to having a girl, except of course changing the nappies (that was a shocker the first couple of…

We had a little playdate at our house and I thought it would be cool to put out all the girls dress up clothes so that they could all be…

A group of us get together every second Friday or so for our girls to get to know one another and play.  It’s such a good blend of ages and…

There is nothing like Summer in Cape Town.  It’s so lovely here!  Well it has been, but the wind last night and this morning is making me think I can’t…

Thumper is finally here and yes, he finally has a real name that can be revealed!  Welcome to our family little Knox (or more affectionately by the girls as “Knock”).…

A big sister and a littler sister before they become 2 big sisters to their little brother.  For now they are still look like my tiny babies, but soon they…

Since Kyla’s first photography experience a while back, we haven’t really given her another opportunity to be the one behind the camera for a change.  But on the weekend she demanded to…

I realise now that I will probably only have my belly for the next 2 weeks.  3 if I’m unlucky and he decides to come a whole week late.  That’s…

I mentioned on Facebook the other day that I just can’t believe that we are at that phase where the girls can ride their own bikes to the park and…

This week I have had the privilege of being at home with my munchkins under the guise of “maternity leave” – because let’s face it…  Toddlers just don’t get that…

I know I have been a bit of a morbid person lately and this has unfortunately translated onto the blog.  I apologise.  For those of you who have stuck it…
