Currently
Hey hey, it’s my very first currently post! Not that I have much going on currently but I’m still excited to do this. Following my blogcation recently I have bounced back rather slowly.

31 May – 7 June Theme: Working Together to Protect Children As a parent one of my greatest fears is something happening to my boys. Now when I say something, I don’t mean them falling and breaking an arm (however that would also traumatize me). I mean someone taking my boys, someone hurting my boys, them disappearing, and the not knowing. For many South Africans this tragedy has actually occurred. Not all are known and spread on all the channels, not every child gets the same attention which is terrible and many families, many parents never ever find closure. We read in the newspapers (well I don’t as I hate…
