Should boys wear green nail polish?
We were in the shops buying some gifts for the kids cousins. Caleb asked for some green nail polish. He wanted monster nails. Rachel has quite a lot of different colours and I could see that at 4 he was just curios. I had no problem with it and he is now sporting some rather fancy green finger and toenails.
Yme was not...

I get to the end of each year and think that it has been quite a whopper and that surely next year must be easier, but seeing as this is a recurring theme I am beginning to draw the conclusion that this is just life. There are 365 days in our yearly trip around the sun, that is a lot of days for good and bad things to happen. But 2011 did have some rather...

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 went to the exclusive book wharehouse sale last weekend. I received an email about it but was not sure I wanted to be up at the crack of dawn to be there by 7am; Titus decided that we would be awake by 5:30am so there was plenty of time to get everyone ready. We did not get there as early as we should have and waited in rather a long queue, with 3 bored...

I was in the bathroom getting dressed after a shower when I heard R.E.M “Everybody Hurts” playing from the dinning room.
I was immediately transported back to my res room in university. I remembered listening to this song, broken hearted over unrequited love. You only learn through these painful experiences, the lessons life has to teach. At the...

The thing about pink hair is that it makes you recognisable. There are not that many of us with pink hair so people remember you. I was in the wool shop on Thursday and a lady caught my eye and said “Hi, how are you?” So I was polite back but it was clear I did not know who she was. It turned out she was from Yme’s dad side of the family...

Well parenting is hard, but as a step patent you always have that extra anxiety.
Rachel made this card for Yme.She loves Hama beads but this was the first time that she finished the lion all by herself. I love the fairies that she added all around the picture of Yme. She asked me how to spell the words but deciding what to say was all her own decision. I...

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...

Part of my birthday present from Yme was a weekend away at a wine farm in Franschoek. It was called Chestnut Cottage
I have been meaning to post these for ages. We took Titus with us but left the older 2 with Annatjie. Shame poor Caleb it was the first time that we have left the kids overnight since Natasha died and the difference was noticable. Before we...

I have wanted a Pac-man bookcase ever since I saw a link to one on line.
Last weekend Yme and his brothers set about to make one. Wood was bought and strapped to the roof of our little fiesta. Power tools were purchased. Designs were drawn and much noise was made. They got it all together and then during the week sanding started.
Yesterday was the last...
