After mentioning today on Twitter,that we are bus toilet-training Kyla, I was asked for some tips. So this is my post dedicated to the in and outs of what we do toilet-training wise (eloquent intro isn’t it?) We DON’T use a potty. I really don’t like them. The cleaning, the sterilizing…. I cant help but [...]
Because of having 3 kids close together and a big belly, I get to talk to many different people on our various outings during the week. People are very curious about us. Some will stare and point rudely, others will swear with jaws dropping wide open, some will be nice and smile and many will [...]
This week has been crazy. I feel as though I’ve been running from pillar to post on errand after errand. The kids and I have been getting in and out of the car all week long. I’m at the stage where I’m refusing to leave the house… Until Friday. Even a day’s reprieve would be [...]
I always thought that summer was our busy season. It turns out that we are just busy people . We just seem to be on-the-go often. Its a lot of fun but doesn’t leave me with much time to blog. I’m loving our life. Its chaotic and crazy but so rich and blessed. For the [...]
Its no secret that B and I don’t have many friends. I’ve wondered about this often. I mean, hopefully its not because we smell bad or anything (I do try and get B to shower at least once a week ) This is some I’ve thought about a lot. Its bugged me. But I think [...]
Life has been so busy lately. I haven’t even had time to think up a blog post :-S I’ve sat and looked at my blog, and then got distracted by my camera. I’m loving my camera! I’ve learnt so much already. Its so much fun. My poor sprogs sometimes give me that “look” when they [...]
As I write this, I feel as though I’m going to melt onto the fall and become a puddle. It is incredibly hot in Cape Town at the moment. Overnight temperatures are around 25C and daytime temperatures around 36C. The humidity is not something we are used to, it makes the heat oppressive and very [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 8) and was then [...]
