Well that was lovely
I may have been the only person happy to see Monday today. The weekend was crap. It was too busy with Cameron having soccer and 2 parties on saturday, me attending the Manna Mamma meet and then catching up with Nicci and that was just Saturday. Add to that the fact David was working very […]
MILFs and New Friends
I have never particularly liked the term MILF (mothers I’d like to fuck). In a world that does tend to degrade, disrespect and objectify women it seems like another term used to highlight women’s sexuality – but not in a good way. Despite that, on Saturday I saw a few MILF’s and I say this […]
Kids and play dates
I wanted this post to simply say “Do your kids go on play dates?” But then decided to embellish a bit. My kids do have play dates – very few but they do go on them. I am the main reason for this! (There I said it) I don’t consider myself paranoid by any stretch […]
The memories are the ties that bind
Last night we went to a braai with a few of Davids friend. The one couple was visiting from the UK for Christmas. It was a fun evening and the boys caught up while the girls just listened and laughed. Even though they don’t have regular contact – apart from Facebook status updates these guys […]
2010 – a meme looking back
Meme taken from Wenchy 1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? I have no idea to be honest. Nothing pops up! 2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn’t make resolutions I don’t think but had goals – I achieved […]
Waka Waka hey hey
Mondays arrive too quickly and Fridays not quick enough 🙂 The weekend that was, was a good one. The kids and I watched the soccer on Friday and it was a very proudly South African moment. I will admit I never expected Bafana Bafana to do as well as they did – one of the reporters […]
Faith
“And isn’t faith believing All power can’t be seen” Lyrics from Josh Grobans “To where you are” I don’t go to church. I don’t read the Bible and I don’t really know what I actually believe in. This isn’t a post about religion really though. It isn’t about what I should be doing or believing […]
The weekend that was
It doesn’t actually feel like we had a weekend at all. It was go go go the whole time! A few of the highlights. Saturday afternoon we had a braai with Sally and Sharon – sort of a mini farewell. It was a fun evening with laughter, wine and awesome food. I am going to […]
Buses, high heels and broken glasses
It was wedding two yesterday afternoon. It was held at Kieviets Kroon – well half of it was anyway. During discussions at night outs with the couple we knew we where going to be taken in buses from Kieviets Kroon to the place where the ceremony would be held but what we didnt know was […]
Things we take for granted
We have had no domestic worker for a month and no washing machine for 3 of those 4 weeks. It has been a challenge. Maybe we are lazy, maybe we are spoilt but the fact is Johanna has always been there. We have always had a washing machine AND we are 5 people in the […]
