A Rainy Rand Easter Show
I hope all of you had a lovely Easter weekend. It's good to have some time off. My mom has been here for a few days and it's been good to spend time with her and catch up on family news (she has just come back from the States visiting my sister). Unfortunately she had an awful trip back with too … [Read more...]
The ebb and flow of life
Today I went to an event to showcase the Happos (a cartoon about a blue family of Hippos on Boomerang) but it was at a water park and it was as I was floating down a waterway that it got me thinking a bit about life lately. The Happos are really cute by the way. They live in a safari park but … [Read more...]
Rand Easter Show 2017
I was reading the post written three years ago, the last time we went to the Rand Easter Show. Nicky was two years old at the time.. I marvel how some things have changed, and others haven't.

Mama Magic Expo Two Years Later
Two years ago our family visited the Mama Magic Baby Expo when Nicky was two years old. I was interested to see if an almost four year old would still enjoy the expo and if I would still find it helpful. Yes, most of the stuff is geared to babies, but we did find a few worthwhile exhibits and … [Read more...]

A Tragic Glimpse: The Titanic Artifact Exhibition
The Titanic Artifact Exhibition landed up being quite an emotional experience. Who knew that artifacts and stories would give me such a reaction? The way they laid things out, it really felt like you were part of the journey. I would highly recommend this exhibition - not just for the historians but … [Read more...]
