Thanks so much to Wendy and Laura for these lovely blog awards. I would be lying through my teeth if I said I didnt kinda love getting these. :-)


The rules are simple:

1. Choose five (or more) other people who deserve this award and pass it on.
2. Tell 7 facts about yourself.
3. Let the people you gave the award to know. (done)
4. Thank the person who gave you the award. (done)


Okay, you ALL deserve this award > I love your blogs. That is why I come back every day to read them. My gift to you? A list of lovely links. Enjoy!



Pink Wallpaper : a designing momblogger, full of gorgeous images.

Worksheets and Activity Pages for kids from 4 - 13yrs old - fantastic for revision and entertainment.

Get Ahead - SA educational resource. Bought their gr 4 cd for Honey and she does all her revision, tests etc on here. The BEST value for money I have come across in SA ito of educational aids. Gr 1-7.

A Soft Place to Land - just a beautiful blog to visit.


Lazy Girl Running - the title speaks to itself! Inspirational and amusing in equal measures.


Things Organised Neatly - this is literally pictures of things organised neatly. and it makes me insanely happy to look at them. :-) Go see.

Crafty Fun Sites for you and your kids - i dont do nearly enough of this anymore but i know some of you still have really younguns at home!

Finally, a brilliant home workout routine - all you need is your own body and the motivation to work hard! 

And finally seven things about me:

1. I have told my kids to 'Shut Up' on more than one occasion. Sad but true.

2. I have been known to leave the house with the beds unmade, breakfast dishes still on the table and the previous nights supper dishes still in the sink. Also sad but true.

3. People think I am fit but I cant run more than 3km without stopping. I am strong but my cardiovascular fitness is pathetic. I am working on it.

4. I am also about as flexible as a scaffolding. It is not good. Touching my toes one day may well be my greatest achievement aside from bearing 3 children as a clinically infertile female.

5. I used to consider myself quite breezy and superficial. And then I grew up and realised I am quite intense. But it is all in my own head, occasionally I spew it out here and then people are like, whhaaattt?

6. And then I post about shoes, just to ease the pressure for us all.

7. I dont like Hugh Jackman or Kiera Knightley.

Thatisall folks.

I love that you are just yourself - maybe superficial on the surface, but true, honest and very intelligent under that supposed fluff.

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...
