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 [...]

Posted by Laura in Uncategorized on 26. Jan, 2010 | Comments Off
A lot of our positive restaurant experiences have occurred when we end up at places by mistake.
We met my friends Tessa and Warren in Gordon’s Bay for lunch while I was in Cape Town. They had suggested another restaurant but when we got there it was closed and only opening about 30 minutes later 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 [...]
Should he hit back?

I had a rather frustrating debate with my best friend today. It left us both upset. We vehemently disagree with each other on the topic.
I put the question out on twitter and was surprised that the guys all responded with a resounding NO but the women weren’t so convinced.
The question was “should boys be taught [...]

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 [...]

Restaurant Review – Kelkiewyn
Posted by Laura in Uncategorized on 19. Jan, 2010 | Comments Off
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 [...]
