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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
When it comes to planning the sprogs birthday parties, I like to keep things very simple. 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 [...]
“If I had seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Sir Isaac Newton We stand on the shoulders of giants. We would not be where we are today, if it was not for the these giants. ( and even though my brothers are giants, I’m being metaphorical). :) We have [...]
A friend on FaceBook asked, “if you could be any superhero, who would you be?” There were the usual responses of Batman, Superman, Ironman (only men responded) and it got me thinking of who would I be. It took me about 2 minutes to realise that I’d be myself . I’m a mom, I’m the [...]
I’m in love… with my laundry. I didn’t always feel this way about my laundry. For a while I begrudged it. I’d moan at it and curse it. Everytime I found that it had grown a little bigger… I’d get angry. I’d wonder who kept feeding it and why at times it seemed so out [...]
I’m feeling so blessed! I have 4 beautiful sprogs (1 of whom is currently passed out on my chest). I have an amazing husband, who truly completes me. I want for nothing. None of these have come by my works/deeds. They are all gifts from God. I am an undeserving sinner, saved by His grace. [...]
On Friday, 27 January, we had a shocking night. I was lucky if I had 4 hours sleep. I said to B on Saturday morning, “watch, tonight’s the night I go into labour as I’m so tired!”. We had a giggled and carried on. Turns out, that little statement came true I had been saying [...]
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 [...]
