For more than a year now, Nicholas has been getting more involved with chess. By that I mean, not just playing it, but participating in tournaments.

April 22, 2023 by heatherss 3 Comments

Last time I wrote in this blog was nearly a year ago, and it was when I had just moved into my new house.

Although Nicky loved the tadpoles and the frogs in this pond it was a green mass that … [Read more...]

New beginnings and rays of light

July 10, 2022 by heatherss 5 Comments

My ablation operation

November 27, 2021 by heatherss 1 Comment

This blog started off to document everything I went through with infertility, and I've documented other medical procedures before.

It really seems that just yesterday Nicky was just a little baba crawling around. Today he is a Grade Two pupil who has done so well in the past year, despite all that Covid has thrown at us.

December 27, 2020 by heatherss Leave a Comment

This time last year I was sitting in the midst of many boxes having made the move between Joburg to PE. It was a decision of faith and it was the right decision for myself and Nicky.

Book Review: Confessions of a forty-something f##k up

October 25, 2020 by heatherss 1 Comment

This book has come at a good time for me. Although our circumstances are different, I did relate to the heroine of this book - because she is also starting again and also has no clue what she is doing at times. Just changing plans due to life circumstances. Nell has broken up with her fiance in … [Read more...]
