Age: 38. And no, I am not afraid of being 40.

Bed size: king. I love sharing a bed but do need my own space *some* of the time.

Chore you hate: grocery shopping. yeah. no surprise there huh?

Dogs: One, cross-bred lab/retriever. She is a gem; a rescue from the Karoo Animal Society.

Essential start to your day: just getting out of bed on time is considered a major victory. there is no pattern...i get up. depending on the time I either waft or fly.

Favorite color: depends on my mood but it is not pink okay?

Gold or silver: not a fan of either.

Height: 1.63cm

Job title: Chief Whip Cracker.

Kids: 3

Live: Large and ignore the bowl.

Mom’s name: Um, relevance?

Nicknames: Mel, Melly when I was little. Dont try that now unless you are related to me.

Overnight hospital stays: 3x caesarians and 1x overnight when Hooli was 5wks old.

Pet peeve: invasion of personal space. or hovering behind me when I am on my laptop. Dont do that.

Quote from a movie: Some things are true whether you believe them or not. -City of Angels-

Righty or lefty: Right

Sibling: 3. All awesome.

Time you wake up: As late as possible.

Underwear: um...no. not NO as in none. Just NO as in TMI for this blog.

Vegetables you dislike: cooked carrots are simply disgusting.

What makes you run late: everything from not finding my bag, cellphone, shades, garage remote to remembering that the dog is still in the house.

X-rays: Mouth, back

Yummy food you make: Trick question?

Thanks to Ness for starting this game (for me, anyway) - please play along!

I really try very hard not to be a late dasher out the door - somehow it just doesn't work.

And so with you on the getting up thing. I hate it.

I could not stop laughing at that answer. Story of my life.

I am going to do this on my blog on Monday because I think that we all need to start the week on a much lighter note...

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

By -
The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
