On giving in
My parents have a great marriage. They are happy and seem to genuinely enjoy being with one another. They rarely fight and when they do it is done mainly behind closed doors. BUT my mother has spent her life giving in. She has dedicated (willingly) her life to making my dad, and my brother and […]
Stirling Manor – a luxury getaway
David and I get 3 weeks a year “off” when the big kids go to my parents for the June/July holidays. It gives us a chance to be calm and spend a little one-on-one time with Jack. It also means it is a lot easier to find baby sitters for one baby than 3 kids. […]
156 weeks! 1096 days! 26298 hours! 94670778 seconds!
Three years ago today David and I met at a tweet-up held at Molly’s in Fourways. It was a fun evening – I have blogged about it before 🙂 I am not sure that either one of us knew the turn our lives would take after than encounter. It has been a 3 years jam […]
I need you!
My friend Nicci wrote a few posts about – this one was one of them. Basically she questions why we want/need relationships – I have wanted to write a response post for ages but just can’t really seem to make sense of how I feel about it. I don’t really have a great history with […]
I love you FIVE!
I am missing the awesomeness that is my fiance today. He is in Polokwane – just for the day – but the minute he is further than a 40 minute drive away from where I am I get tense. Even though we talk a lot during the day and we both get on with our […]
Letting the anger go
He who angers you conquers you. ~Elizabeth Kenny A friend of mine who went through a divorce a year ago asked the question – how does she let go of the anger she feels towards her ex. The communication with her ex that she shared took me back 3/4 years to when I was in […]
2 years
The 26th June is not only Cameron’s birthday but is also the day I met David 2 years ago. It’s been a crazy roller coaster two years 🙂 So much has happened and the two of us have grown and changed in so many ways. We have partied – a lot spent 2 blissful weeks […]
You took what was simple and made it unbelievable
I haven’t blogged about the proposal yet because I have been trying to get a decent pic of my ring but it’s been almost a week and well the pic just isn’t happening – so for now the one David took with his phone will have to do 🙂 I had a feeling that David […]
When friends get divorced
To know when to go away and when to come closer is the key to any lasting relationship. ~DomĂ©nico Cieri Estrada Most people assume that because I am divorced, when asked for relationship advice I will suggest that people follow suit and get divorced too. They assume it is the easy way out and that […]
Marriage, relationships and Cinderella
I have read many many blogs, some get added to my reader, some don’t, in fact most don’t because I read and I immediately know if I am going to “get you” and be able to form some sort of relationship with you. When Jeanette sent me a link to Huckdoll I knew it would […]
