Blog Re-Working

By -
Hey, tis true, all my kids are at school and my man is at work.

Hooli is well on the mend, even went to swimming yesterday arvie. Am very glad I avoided those icky antibiotics! Lets hope for a good run the rest of winter.

I am LOVING CT weather at the moment, am re-evaluating my summer passion - ---- the wind blows a gale in summer here, am thinking of defecting to autumn as my new favourite season.

Been thinking a bit about my blog and have decided to put more of me in here....I know this is for my kids but I am SURE my girls (and maybe my boy but probably not) would love to know more about me. In terms of what I wore, where I went, how I spent my time, what i think about, things i love and things I hate etc etc. I know I would LOVE to have something like a blog book about MY mom at this age - how cool would that be?

Do you ever ponder the content of your blog? The direction? What to put in and what to leave out? 

In the past I ran two blogs : One for kids :Five-Browns and one for me : Simply-MelB (and later, LGN) . So I have decided FiveTribe will be a conglomeration of the three. It will be a typical momblog - stories from my life featuring all of us.

It just means I may have to censor them from reading these books til they are a bit older!

I love that you're flexible and "that's how you roll"
I blog because I like to, I think while I type and maybe they'll read it later and maybe they won't. Being private has helped me in knowing that all my info isn't just out there.

Glad H is doing well and I totally agree with the antibiotics...hate them...only when you really really really need them is it okay.
I never knew this as a young mom....

I hope the wind is not going to blow when hubby is in CT for late Dec/Jan...I need him to fall in love with the place....:)

I also wish I knew more about my mom and my gran's day to day life...so wonderful gift you will give your children for the future.

A combination sounds good. I deliberate regularly - probably more than I actually blog which is not difficult. I would love mine to say more about what I think but I know people would take that the wrong way :(

Marcelle - you can guarantee the wind will blow Dec/Jan sorry unless you book yourself into a gorgeous b&b in upper constantia

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...
