Weekend Plans

By -
We are hoping to go a kid-friendly hike tomorrow morning. The school has a hiking club and they venture out once a month on a Saturday. To date we havent been great supporters as the convening time is 0830....not a time regularly seen in this household on a Saturday.

I am realising though that autumn is almost upon us and we need to get out and about before winter sets in. The kids thoroughly enjoy the outdoors and it is always more fun to do it in a crowd.

Am hoping to get a sitter so the man and I can get out and about on Saturday afternoon sans kids. He has been working/travelling very often of late and we really need some uninterrupted face time.

The Argus cycle tour is on Sunday so we will be going down to our main road and enjoying the party atmosphere with hundreds of other supporters - we have done this annually since the kids were babies - such fun.

What plans do you guys have?

Such a cool tradition you as family have to enjoy the party atmosphere of the Cape Aurgus Tour. Enjoy :)
I do agree - hubby and wife always need uninterrupted face time :) Enjoy that too.

Heh - I have to laugh. There are so many things about my old suburb that I miss, however there are two things that I am actively glad I don't have to deal with...a)allergy overload from proximity to the TMNatPark (and all that fynbos), and the Argus...being trapped in my house for a whole day never really sat well with me - but then I suppose given that I lived there - sans kids - and then with a newborn - going out and enjoying it was never an option. It was always a case of a mad grocery shop the day before, then dvd's and chill time the rest of the day. :)

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...
