We are a young, fun-loving, crazy, disciple-making, intentional, home-schooling, adventure-seeking, purpose-pursuing family living in the heart of Jozi yet trying to do life at our own pace.
This blog is about sharing our stories, our thoughts, our experiences, our lives; hoping that they will help, encourage and inspire other families out there.....as we all do this adulting thing :)
Today we celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary……whoop whoop!!! ??? I just realised I got married young…..?…6 years of marriage and I’m not even 30 yet! Hhe banna! ? Anyway, I just wanted to share a special moment. My husband wrote and sang two songs for me on our wedding day….(yeah, he is that awesome 🙂 Anyway, here…

This Is Not An Anti Abortion Post It’s just thoughts that I had when I went for my 12 week baby scan. I am personally not for abortion though. Anyway, a few weeks ago I went for an ultra sound scan, on the day my baby turned 12 weeks. Looking at the scan, I was so amazed at how much…

I haven’t written anything in the past 3 months because I’ve been feeling so pap :/. We’re expecting another sweet little bundle of joy (whoop whoop!!) but this has been the worst first trimester out of all three! The fatigue and the nausea had me down pretty much everyday, and it didn’t help that I’m a stay/work at home mom…

Let me quickly run you through how you can take good-looking photos without spending a…
Continue readingMy second born will be a year and a half soon. I promised myself I’d get back into ‘shape’ after each pregnancy. The first time around, it wasn’t too difficult to get back into shape.

And when he was showing me one of the machines, I remember he said something like “When it starts burning,…

So we’ve been trying hard to associate the colours with everyday things she’s familiar with, eg. This is red like your scooter, etc…..and we’ve seen some improvement. So…

Why didn’t anyone tell me that that water aerobics class at gym is for gogos?? ??? I think I’ve just seen, in movies probably, those water classes where people do these amazing-looking manoeuvres in the water, and I really thought maybe they were gonna teach us stuff like that in that class haha! A bit ambitious maybe?…….I can’t even swim…
