THE MYSTERY OF DISAPPEARING SOCKS One of the things I think I’d want for God to play back for me when I get to Heaven is: what the heck happens to all the socks?!?! Nothing could be more mysterious – and no matter how many pairs I buy and how well I try to take care of them, they…

Tuesday was our first day back at “school” (we generally start our learning time on a Tuesday because Mondays are our standing family days as Mama and Baba usually have work on weekends). I could’ve done with another week or even month off, but I had actually missed our beloved reading time on the couch ❤️. We had a late start because…

I’ve had to answer this question so many times. Sometimes to seemingly well-meaning people and sometimes to seemingly judgmental or skeptical ones. I guess homeschooling is not quite the norm in our nation….so more often than not, when the topic of school comes up in conversation, I have to brace myself to answer a lot of questions…..lol! I think I…

Here are some of the fun activities we got up to, most of them from Learn-Play-Imagine: SENSE OF TASTE We played a game where I blindfolded the kids and then gave them different…

Every time I go to gym I can’t help but be inspired by all the people there, it’s inspiring on so many levels. Firstly, people at gym have made a resolution: to work on having a fitter/healthier/stronger/slimmer body. It’s one thing just deciding on something, but when you have to invest your hard-earned cash into a decision, it’s something else….

Financially, I’m not sure which one, between my husband and I, married up, because we both don’t have money, except for that inheritance lumpsum waiting for me (lol! I wish); and our families are far far far from balling. Education-wise, I’m also not sure. He went to a high school that cost about R60 000 a year (20+ years ago),…
