Table Bay Stay

By -
We dropped the kids of at my sister at lunchtime on Saturday and headed for the beautiful Table Bay Hotel for two nights. (a gift from a business associate!)

We first stopped and fetched Russ' toy for the weekend...a little Mazda MX-5 convertible. It looks real cute but lets just say I prefer my smooth, high ride even though she aint nearly as pretty. Russ had such fun though and we cruised along Camps Bay and found us a good cuppa.

Some of my favourite things...tv and room service

Breakfast - yummy! (mine)
New wedge sandals from Russ - thankfully he has great taste!
Our morning coffee with a view of note
Mommy's Mazda and Dad's Mazda!
Saying goodbye to the sproggles.
The mans breakfast.  Well, the first course....
I have to say this hotel far exceeded my expectations - i have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world and can say without hesitation that this was the best experience I have ever had. The hotel, although large, has an incredible personal touch and no effort is spared for the guest. We will definitely be back!

A great gift from someone as that Hotel is so expensive. Me and hubby need to save a bit before we decided to stay with them over a weekend.
But, I'm so glad that the two of you have enjoyed it so much and I love that view of Table Mountain. Can't wait to see it again in December. Yes, we're coming again - yay!

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...
