STOP Pinning START doing
Tweet Let me start out in saying that I’m OBSESSED with Pinterest! There, now that that’s out of the way let me get to the point. Its good to have a hobby, actually GREAT and as a Mom we very rarely find time to schedule some us time and focus on our little crafty projects (if that’s your hobby) or gym or whatever it is. So we turn to Pinterest and pin away happily and have these wonderful visions and ideas in our minds of all the lovely things we’d like to make and do. Some on our own, some involving the kids, others for our home. And as the…

Our first karate grading
TweetKarate, an oriental system of unarmed combat using the hands and feet to deliver and block blows, widely practised as a sport. On Saturday which passed we had the privilege of watching Danny at his first karate grading. Its always such a great feeling to watch your kids excel at something and seeing them enjoy themselves while doing it. “Here are the Two Rules of Miyagi-Ryu Karate. Rule Number One: ‘Karate for defense only.’ Rule Number Two: ‘First learn rule number one.’” Miyagi in The Karate Kid While selecting which acitivities we wanted Daniyal to participate in from Grade R we came to the conclusion (jointly with him) that karate…

DIY: Part 1 – Joshuah's Room
TweetSo since we moved into our home last September the boys have been sharing a bedroom which has been ok till now. The problem comes in where Josh still wakes 2 – 3 times a night and with all the crying he disturbs little Dannys night.

This past weekend we tackled the move and since then we’ve been doing small things to make the boys rooms feel more like them. We started with Joshys room as it was easier to…

Tweet Who runs the world? MOMS! Good Morro lovely people, today I’m so excited to share this post. I had the lovely opportunity to be paired with another Mommy blogger this month. This is my month to get in shape, be it in my work, life, health, studies. So kicking it off I attended my first ABC Bootcamp session last night, which I will do a post on once I complete my month, so keep a lookout for this. All I can say is WOW, leaving the session last night I was both in pain (some of these muscles have not been used in YEARS) and so impressed with myself.…

Baby Shower recap : Think Pink
TweetHi all, So I thought instead of letting time go by I would do a quick recap of the “Think Pink” babyshower we hosted for my sister 2 weeks back. Let me just say I am baby obsessed and if I could I would pop out another 3, but my Husband would definitely pack his bags and leave. I think the 3 of us keep him busy as is. The babyshower itself was held at the Durbanville Rose Garden, an ideal venue for any type of “tea” functions, even 1st birthday parties. In preparation for the shower we did a few DIY crafts to save on costs, even though planning…
