The Father
Tweet Growing up I always looked to my Dad as my hero, the provider, the head of our Spiritual home, the protector, my supporter. I think that this is what most little girls do, they love them through the good and the bad. We put them on a pedestal and when we look at them we think “My Daddy”. But as we grow older we see their flaws, we see their raw emotions and in my case we see them at their weakest. Slowly they move lower and lower off that pedestal. We learn things about them, we fight with them, we get angry, we blame them, we go silent,…

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.

What I have found that if I receive excellent service from a specific store or person, I will spread the news, give praise where its due and I will be forever loyal. That’s just how I operate. Even more so if you’re a Momtrepreneur. I love supporting Moms who are making their little mark in the world. Well done on juggling family responsibilities as well as running your own business. So if there are any Momtrepreneurs out there, send me a…

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…
