What happens in seven years. January 12, 2016. So much changes, yet so much stays the same. Seven years ago I met my daughter for the first time. That moment I looked at her sweet face, I knew things would never be the same again. And they weren’t. Yet, in all this time, my little girl has grown up and blossomed. From that clingy unhappy baby that no-one could look after except for mommy and daddy, to the confident lovable little girl you are today. We love you to the moon and back. November 19, 2015.

With a little bit of TLC |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/with-a-little-bit-of-tlc
With a little bit of TLC. May 25, 2014. We are a little infatuated with the History Channel at the moment. Between Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, American Pickers and American Restoration, we decided to start our own little refurbishment project at home last month. I love the idea of taking something old and inexpensive and giving it new life and purpose. Our mission. Take a vintage item and turn it into its original condition, hopefully by adding a bit of our own style to the mix. Once the above is done, the...

Bits and pieces |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/bits-and-pieces
August 6, 2013. Not only did I get to tick a lot of things off on my want list, I was also lucky enough to create some really special memories. Here a few things we did this month. Parkhurst’s Christmas in July. I love it when Christmas comes twice a year! Come Dine with Me Finale. Five Dinner parties. 10 Votes. 1000 Cash Prize. 1 and hour edited video. One Winner. It was epic! We are officially the CDWM Winners for 2013, even though no-one will let me live down that I forgot the serviettes. Sounds like ...

Almost a year |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2014/05/17/almost-a-year
May 17, 2014. It’s been almost a year since I last updated this little blog of mine. So much has changed, but so much has stayed the same. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and life. I worked hard and I was promoted. I struggled to find a balance between work and home. I still do. I jumped into the Indian ocean and swam with dolphins. It was exhilarating. I still love taking photos. It’s my passion and outlet. I traded in my trusted Yaris for a trendy little Fiat Convertible. May 17, 2014 at 8:37 pm.

A mandatory rest period |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2013/06/05/a-mandatory-rest-period
A mandatory rest period. June 5, 2013. I’m taking a mandatory rest break today. My body aches, my throat is on fire and my chest is closed as tight as a treasure box. Our kitchen counter boasts a range of Med Lemon, Disprin, ACC200, Vitamin C Immune Booster, homeopathic flu granules, Stilpayne and asthma meds. It’s a concoction of hope. Hope that anyone of these might just be the cure to magically feeling better. But it’s an empty basket of hope if it’s missing one thing, rest. I want to be available....

Our life in pics. May 26, 2013. 1 It was a long tedious 2 and a half hour wait just to get into soccer city to watch JB. 2 An old Beetle parked outside Ethan’s guitar lesson yesterday. 3 Long winter dresses, gum boots and pretty autumn leaves. 4 My old trusty trunk. She is filled to the brim with crafts, old records and vintage books. 5 Mr Teddy Bear chilling out on Ethan’s bed on a Sunday afternoon. 6 An old petrol pump we discovered at a quirky diner a few weeks ago. May 27, 2013 at 9:09 am. Notify me ...

Come Dine with Me |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/come-dine-with-me
Come Dine with Me. May 11, 2013. Five couples from Johannesburg. All amateur chefs, competing against each other to host a top notch dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host’s performance with the winner winning a R1,000 cash prize and more importantly bragging rights. Bragging rights to the title of the ultimate dinner party host. Lucky number one and I hosted first, this week. Seared beef fillet with chocolate chilli and Amarula sauce. Prawn and Cashew Nut Curry.

I am not that mom |
https://rememberwhenwewereyoung.wordpress.com/2013/07/07/i-am-not-that-mom
I am not that mom. July 7, 2013. I’m not that mom who always has tissues in her handbag for snotty noses. I’m not that mom who reads her child a bedtime story every night. I’m not that mom who thinks home-baked is better than shop bought when it’s time for baker day. I’m not that mom who doesn’t bribe her kids to eat dinner. I’m not that mom who doesn’t switch on the Disney Channel while I make dinner. I’m not that mom who has a lot of patience when my kids eat with their mouth open. It sure is enough!

Doodles & Dribbles: March 2011
http://doodlesanddribbles.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Neve - Cottage Cheese Facial! So I had a thought today.instead of eating my lunch, why not use it for a facial? On second thoughts, it feels a bit icky. Seth - Build your own Aquarium! On the heels of our successful aquarium visit while on Holiday, I picked up a packet of foam sea life stickers at the local arts and crafts shop and Mom actually let me buy it, so we decided to build our own aquarium we can visit any time we like. And here's our quick how to:. Stick on some shells.
