Happiness – like most emotions it is almost impossible to describe it in simple terms. Words fail, reasoning about the feeling fail and my happiness is different from your happiness. Probably. Mine is chemically enhanced. Then again, yours might be too.
A couple of decades ago depression was not considered a serious medical condition, and much [...]
I received this mail today from a friend and decided to share it – we all know alot of these things but it is nice to be reminded.
I am not sure who to credit as the mail doesn’t have an author on it,
1. Remember that leadership isn’t about your position. It’s about your influence.
2. Get [...]
It’s a bold statement, I know. But it’s bloody true! And the thing is, it’s not just me who feels this way, he does too. I think.
It all started with a tummy bug. All of a sudden, after years of not having anyone notice my bowel movements, I was stuck at my boyfriend Jon’s house with the greatest [...]
I recently wrote an article for Parent 24 on Extended Breast Feeding. I am fully aware that I am a bit of a hippy at heart and that the things I do will not suit all mom’s so I was careful to end off the article by saying:
“As with most parenting, you have to [...]

They have just been told they will not be receiving any of the cerebral paulsy buggies or wheelchairs.
The main issue with [...]
I haven’t done one of these for a while.
Today I am grateful for
My daughter. She frustrates me and makes me cry but she has the strongest spirit I have ever seen. She beleives so completely in herself that to her, nothing is impossible. I admire that.
My son. He holds my hand and hugs me and [...]

Home Schooling
Laura had an idea to get some discussion going around schooling and the choices we all make. She wanted me to write on why I decided to home school and she would do her reasons for sending her kids to school and we would let the debate ensue from there. I was rather reluctant [...]

I never fancied myself much of a writer. I’ve been telling myself this for years. I slowly started realizing however that I can be a writer if I really want to, if I applied my mind I can be whatever I want to be. So this year I have made it my mission – apart [...]

One of the things I love about the Cape is the amount of non-franchised restaurants. You actually have to look for a Spur or KFC and I can’t remember seeing a McDonalds on my last few visits.
Kelkiewyn in Villiersdorp was probably my best restaurant find on my last trip. Villiersdorp itself isn’t really much to [...]

Today I am grateful for
Beautiful clear sunny South African days.
The sound of my kids chitter chattering at 6h00 in the morning.
To be able to fall asleep next to an awesome person.
Laughter with new friends.
Pretty earrings, painted nails and proper dresses

My son. Despite my disorganisation and despite the chaos he has to endure daily – he manages to still get an award for OUTSTANDING achievement. I could not be prouder.
The flexibility of my job. I get to attend my children’s school functions, pop out to buy forgotten gifts.
My boyfriend – that [...]
