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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Awesome jumping castle, pretty looking (preferably also yummy tasting) cake, snacks and party food for kids and adults and a take home gift/party pack for the kids. Add in some balloons to the mix for decor, a themed table [...]
My eyes have really been opened lately to how much we have to be thankful for. I’ve also noticed how much we all complain about silly little things. Its really been bothering me! So I’ve decided that in every situation I’m going to look for things to be thankful for. I’m sure I’ll be tested [...]
Apparently I got old today! So many people have told me that 27 is old. I really don’t think so. According to my mom, I’m now an acceptable age to have kids! maybe now she will stop making me older. I’m also exactly half her age! Its been an awesome birthday. I have been incredibly [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
