- Homeschool week 2
Another week down already! It seems that our school week has flown by. It was a great week! We had quite a lot of fun, with a few moments of frustration (mostly me). We learnt about Spring and we constructed our own, very make-shift kite. We learnt about “b” and Jessie kept calling it a [...]
- Green-eyed monster
That little green-eyed jealousy monster is such a pain! I find it very hard, sometimes, to squash it back into its hole. I have am blessed, richly! We all are. But sometimes, I look at what others “have” and that little monster raises its ugly head, pricks up its ears and crawls out of its [...]
- Rolling tight
We roll pretty tight. The 5 of us are just about always together. We don’t separate easily and we love hanging out together! In fact since having kids, B and I have not been out alone. Yup that’s 3.5 years of going everywhere together. Other people don’t “get” how we do it. “You need a [...]
- Homeschool first week
Our first week of homeschooling is done and dusted! It was an awesome week. We got a taste of the joys of homeschool, as well as a taste of the trials. We are using Sonlight, its amazing! I love how every week is layed out, everyday is planned and you always know what’s going on [...]
- 6 Months
Today Kyla is 6months old! As of tomorrow, she will be closer to 1 than to newborn. These 6 months have flown by. She is such a beautiful baby. She is our ginger ninja In the light, her hair and eye lashes are very ginger. Where ever we go people remark on the length and [...]

- Easier…
“Don’t worry, it gets easier!” That’s something you hear all too often as a new parent or a parent with young kids. Everyone feels they have to tell you that its always “gets easier” the older that the kids get. Even as your pregnancy progresses, people tell you that it “gets easier” once the baby [...]
- Education Gap
I realized how large the education gap between the low income earners and the middle income earners is. Bertha is our cleaning lady. She comes in and gives the house a good cleaning twice a week. She is a product of the old South Africa. She got a Standard 6 (grade and was then sent [...]
- Milestone Week
Ever noticed how all of your kids seem to hit a milestone of sorts, all in the same week? Its almost as though they’re competing to see who can hit a milestone the fastest. We have had one of those weeks. They’re amazing weeks! The kids develop in leaps and bounds. But they also leave [...]
- Kylas first tooth
My baby has her first tooth! I’m in a bit of shock about it all. She has been mouthing things for a good couple of weeks now. But that’s just what babies do. She’s always been a drooler, so there was nothing different there. In fact, if I hadn’t seen the dark line on her [...]
