Happy Easter everyone! I hope you are having a relaxed weekend with your families. ** So I'm sure you're wondering how the diet's going... Well, some good, some bad...

That Time Nicky Hurt His Leg
There are so many unknowns in parenting. We stress about doing things the right way for our children. I think one of every parent's worse fears is when something goes wrong. Will I be able to judge the seriousness of it? Will I do the right thing? At the end of the day we all do our best but when … [Read more...]

Washing machines, Generators and My Timeless Love
It was Tuesday morning. I had just dropped Dearest Hubby off at work and instead of heading home to have breakfast, start the washing and get going on our day, we were heading to Woodmead Makro. If you were wondering why we were facing morning traffic and getting breakfast from a petrol station, … [Read more...]
Taking a Two Year old to a Memorial Service
A relative of my husband had passed away so we went to the memorial service. Although it started at 11:30am I wasn't that worried about nap time since for the past few days he hasn't been sleeping in the day at all (apart from yesterday which was a very late nap). I knew he could stay awake. The … [Read more...]

B is my partner for life and has been through all my ups and downs and still accepts me (and knows me best). Our marriage has had its share of good times … [Read more...]
Enjoying the Farm to Table Meal
Back in February I won a meal from the Forum Farm to Table lunch through Rattle and Mum. They gave me the option to choose a meal right up until September. Figuring the older Nicky was the more he would eat, I left it for as long as possible. That is how we landed up at the "Fete de la gastronomie", … [Read more...]
Hunting For Trucks (Not Easter Eggs)
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you had a super weekend! On Friday we did not do much (apart from shopping and laundry) as DH had to work. On Saturday we went to the Rand Easter Show. We first went to a motor display where the cars did drifting and even went on their sides! Nicky stood on the … [Read more...]
Attempts to Get Fit at Forty
Somewhere along the line four decades of my life have gone by and I am turning forty! I have no big plans for my birthday other than to maybe go somewhere nice with Nicky (like a park or something) and have Chinese for supper and watch Revenge which comes back to our screens. I'm just going to take … [Read more...]
