Greener Baby

Greener Baby I wrote an article for Parent 24 a while back Saving the Planet, don’t have more kids This was before I met Yme and Titus graced us with his presents. I mentioned that I was not saying don’t to have kids or even that I would not have any more, but the question was should we consider the environment when deciding to have children. I think...

Titus Turns 1 – Hungry Caterpillar party

Posted in Family  9 Comments
Titus Turns 1 - Hungry Caterpillar party Photos as always but the wonderful Catherine from Cazpix Birthday boy and Mommy The Hungry Caterpillar theme. I got a lot of good idea off Pinterest and then just made it work for us, what I liked was that the worm eats a lot a fruit and it was easy not to have a lot of sweets as the kids loved that all the food the caterpillar ate was on the table. I did...

Cherry Picking

Cherry Picking We went cherry picking on Sunday. It is the beginning of cherry season but the kids leave to Pretoria on the 8th and we wanted to fit it in before they go. It is quite a long drive and it made me grateful my mom talked me out of driving up to them for Christmas. The colder windy day gave me the perfect excuse to wear my new hat I knitted for myself. I so...

We have chickens

We have chickens I have always wanted chickens but just did not think we would be having them so soon. It was the church Bazaar in Philadelphia where Carle lives on the 2nd September. She knew that I wanted chickens at some point and so she ordered me some when she pre-ordered for her boys. And so our adventure with chickens began on 2 Septemeber at the Philadelphia Kerk...

Titus

Titus Titus is 6 months if you can believe that. Saturday marked a half a year that he has been part of our family. He is a very dear little boy and I love watching his personality appear. Babies are hard work no matter what but he has a very sunny nature most of the time to make up for his total dependence. He is not skinny like the other 2 and was 8.5kg at 5m...

The words every mother hates

Posted in Family  3 Comments
The words every mother hates ‘It is a virus.’ There is nothing to be done for a winter virus of snot and slime and coughing and misery. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want them to need antibiotics and most of us know it is not good for them to be on antibiotics repeatedly, but damn there is something that feels good about doing something. A virus makes you...

Pick your battles

Pick your battles This is something that I have used with the kids and have to tell myself over and over but it applies to relationships too. I am The Amber Necklace Lady. After all they are one of Earth Babies top seller. Clients often ask me if they work and I am honest about my experience. We never had them when I had Rachel and she had no problem teething. Caleb had...

Feeling better

Posted in Family  6 Comments
Feeling better I really am feeling a lot better than when I wrote that last blog post. I did a few things to make things easier and have been more organised. I also have great friends who have made all the difference, especially Catherine who knows how it feels and we have a good moan. I have been examining the things that made me feel less in control and have been...
