When I’m big, I want to be like my husband Now to some, that may sound really strange. But to those who know him, it will make perfect sense. I am so incredibly blessed to be married to him. He inspires me to be better and do more. He inspires me to live life bigger [...]
liRemember bing little and having people ask, “What to you want to be when you grow up?” ? Back then every boy wanted to be a fireman, police man or pilot and every little girl wanted to be a doctor, vet or a mommy. As girls got older, were told that being a mom was [...]
It’s summer here in SA, which means braais and swimming! In theory that sounds idyllic, but to parents it’s enough to make them want to stay inside and try to petend that summer isn’t happening. Even the most relaxed parents are prone to anxiety attacks when it comes to their little sprogs and swimming. Rightfully [...]
In a society that is so obsessed with how we look, I wonder how many stop to think of the story that their body tells. I’ve been thin, I’ve been not-so-thin. I’ve been fit, I’ve been unfit. I’ve been buff, too buff. I’ve been healthy, I’ve been not-so-healthy. I’ve been anorexic, I’ve tried to be [...]
We have had some pretty big milestones here in the last 24 hours. Sprogs literally growing up over night. Jack is now riding his bicycle without training wheels! We’ve been watching him (obviously) and for a while now, he has been balancing himself for the most part, and only really using his trainers to turn. [...]
Hi, my name is Lauren and I’m a mommy blogger. Or am I? I’m a mom who blogs about my sprogs and our lives (when I blog ). These days being a “mommy blogger” seems to imply that 1 has to be endorsed, sponsored or paid to write I am none of those things! I’m [...]
Jack seems to be our narrow escape child… Ok, that might be a tad dramatic! But he has had a few close and interesting calls. At 18 months, he fell off a jungle gym from around 1.7m high onto the back of his head. After 2 minutes of crying, he was 100% fine and was [...]
Everybody has a story. We all have life events, both good and bad, that have shaped who we are and how we respond to things that happen from there on out. When it comes to the bad, we either grow stronger and learn from it or we become trapped and sometimes even crippled by it. [...]
I want to ride my bike.” We’ve been hearing a lot of that lately. It seems that the cycling bug has again bitten our sprogs. I get asked at least 25 times a day if we can go cycle in the road or on the cycling track. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that they’re [...]
Family, we (hopefully) all have them. It’s never all sunshine and roses, but it is good… In fact mine is pretty darn awesome! As is my extended family (mom, brothers, dad, brothers other halves). My immediate family (the sprogs and B) are amazingly perfect… Most of the time I wish I could say it was [...]
