Update on Detoxing…

So the detoxing has been going strong since Tuesday and I finish on Sunday, 1 April. BWAHAHAHA! I'll be lighter on April fool's day> Quick update: I've followed my diet and on Sunday morning I got on the scale... I was 6kg's lighter. I shit you not. 6kg's. One thing that I did differently this time …

Tomorrow is a holiday

So tomorrow is Human Right's Day in South Africa. And as a citizen I get the day off. Yep, it's an official H.o.l.i.d.a.y! I'm not going to give you a lecture about the history of South Africa and how we got to a public holiday. Most us don't know the history/don't care/just want the day …

I’m detoxing…

I've decided to follow a little two-week detox program. You know that infamous bullshit 13 day metabolism diet.... Well, I did almost 2yrs ago albeit I cheated here and there, but I still lost 8kgs. Background - Two weeks ago, I saw a specialist person about my physique... She advised that for my physique, considering height …

So you’re a boy and Mommy’s a girl

I've heard about it and quietly read the debates/discussions about when to talk to your child about s.e.x. When do they start noticing the difference between girls and boys. I have a 29 month old and Oh my Gloria he is inquisitive! My Dude seems to think that I shouldn't be telling Dudie that Mommy has …

Fear of the Unknown

So Dudie has graduated to his big boy bed. And quite frankly, I'm scared of what's to come! Do we now have to remove all keys in fear of child getting out of his in the middle of the night? Or trip the electricity in case this child finds that one dreaded plug that doesn't …

Dudie is moving on up!

Dudie, it's official. You now sleep in your big boy bed. Yesterday, we packed away your cotand rearranged your room. Bed and all. You bumped your head a million times within 1minute of you being on the bed but you were happy! You kept telling Daddy and I to lie on your bed, with you. …

How I wish I was a child again

Oh, how I wish I could be a child today. It is wet and cold in Gauteng. Yesterday, my Dude made our first fire in the fireplace for 2012! In March? It seems that it's too early.... Anyhow, we loved it. We ate veggie burgers and chocolate and custard slices, Yum Yum.  Today is Friday and the weather …

Because he loves water

Dudie, your love for water will get you into shit! With Daddy - hahaha!!!! And sometimes Mommy! My Dudie loves water. This has been the case in like forever!  He can easily consume 2l of H2O per day. This will include tap water, bottled water, bath water, pool water, soapy dishwashing water! I kid you not and I …

Fresh as Baby Sta-soft

I have this thing with Dudie about smelling his breath after he brushes his teeth. We make a game out of it, much like the scene in Despicable me where Gru asks the girls if they brushed their teeth. Back to the point, on Monday I left Dudie unattended for 2seconds, I promise it was no longer …

I would never intentionally burn the house down.

So on Saturday, we decided to have a braai (it's a barbeque with a real wood fire and proper meat - for those who don't know). And my Dude asked if I would make rooster broodjies (braai bread/rolls).  I obliged and to speed up the process of waiting for my dough to rise - I put it in …
