We explored Nelson Mandela Bay!

Cameron and I arrived in PE last week Thursday morning. Lynette collected us from the airport, showed us where the pool was and took us to the costume shop to buy Cameron’s costume and then we picked up our car and headed off to the beach for lunch. While waiting for our meal I get […]

Lets talk about Easter

Casarica from Amaze Blog came up with this idea and I thought it might be fun to take part. We actually started our day with a big spring clean and the kids are now with David’s mom so I can get some work done. 1. What does Easter/Good Friday look like in your country? A […]

A mothers anxiety

Every Sunday I plan the posts for the week and every time I cook something new I take photos for my Tuesday recipe post but the past few days I have been very distracted, so there are no posts and no recipes. I wasn’t even going to post today but here I am. For those […]

The not-so-nice part of being in a large family

Whenever you ask a parent (or child) about being part of a large family, they generally say “Oh its great, crazy but we love it”. Parents feel like they won at parenting because their many offspring can entertain each other and the kids feel like they are constantly in a play park. There is a […]

Our favourite holiday visits

This was the first year we really explored the sights around Montagu where my parents live. Usually we do one or two activities but this year we packed the outings in.  Everywhere we went was obviously kid friendly but most make for great days out even if you don’t have kids. We spent the first […]

2015 – The Year of My Kids

Initially I wasn’t sure I wanted to do a look back post this year. This year has knocked us around, a lot. It has felt like every time we manage to pop our head above the water we get pushed down again and spend a few months kicking like crazy to take the next breathe, […]

Sit down, have a cup of tea, lets talk!

Gosh the last two weeks have been so busy,  I have had to do some major juggling to get everything done. While sitting in prize giving today listening to the 100th child get an award I worked it out. By the time Emma matriculates we would have attended a minimum of 48 prize giving awards! […]
