Mary had a …

At lunch with the family yesterday, granny says to Jessie, “Mary had a…?” Jessie responds: “a little baby called Jesus. He grew up and had disciples. He died on the cross to save us from our sins. One day He will come back to earth and take everyone who believes in Him to heaven.” My [...]

Expanding the Family

Having “more” kids is always a hot topic amongst parents. Many are concerned about the age gap, the older child coping, dividing their love/time/attention/resources. In fact, this seems to stress so many parents out, that they only have 1 child. I really don’t think that they have a clue what they’re missing out on! (I’m [...]

Tale of the bright pink leg

That beautiful pink cast. It belongs to Jessie. Its been like that for the past 4 weeks. The worst part is… None of us know how she broke it! (Yes, yes, horrid parenting skills. I know) She was fine. On the Monday, she played and climbed and did everything like the tomboy she is. Not [...]

Family Size

I’m feeling a little (read: very) irritated with people! We have 3 sprogs and are expecting a 4th. We are thrilled! We love our sprogs and love having “more” of them. People often comment on how brave, crazy, stupid etc, we are. I often wonder if they see 10 kids instead of the 3 that [...]

2 weeks on internet-lessness

I’m going to do my head in! We have been in our new house for 2 weeks, and we still have no internet!!! This is getting ridiculous. When I called Telkom to install a new line at our new house, we had it within a week. We ordered our ADSL though Webafrica, who go through [...]

home-maker or mom

Truthfully, im a shocking home-maker/ house-wife type person. I really am very bad at it. I struggle to keep my head above water when it comes to cleaning and the house-wife type things. Martha Stewart, i most definitely am not. I love to think that maybe I could be, but i cant. I’m far too [...]

thanks mom

I read an article today on motherhood. It went on about how a mom sometimes has to do the jobs of 23 different people in a day, and about how the average workday is 13 hours long. 13 hours?!? try 24hours a day. motherhood (parenthood to be fair) is a 24 hour job, 365days a [...]

The kids got aprons, dough, cookie cutters, a pencil case full of jumbo crayons and paper to colour in. They had an absolute blast! [...]
