SO many of us are feeling that year end drain. I know I am and I know my family is too. Gone are the days when Dudie couldn't wait for Santa to bring him an alarm clock - you know cos he started big school in 2016 (grade 1) and this clock would help him …

Memories
Some days I find myself sitting quietly and reflecting and savouring my happy childhood memories. It wasn't all moonshine and roses but I chose to remember the good old days... I remember that fresh baked bread smell and warm biscuits smell coming from Mamma's kitchen. Stealing half the cookie dough that was left to "rest" …
Thankful Thursday
I thought instead of a normal blog post I would do a roundup of what I am thankful for today.... My Dude, Dudie, resident alien. The family and friends in my life right now. The cooler weather in Pretoria today. Electricity because whilst I should be studying I made an omelet and I'm watching Lucifer …
My hips don’t lie
Nope, I am NOT Shakira but damn my hips don't lie either...I think this pregnancy is taking it's toll on my body. Granted I am 7 years older than what I was with my first pregnancy. With Dudie I had a fairly easy going pregnancy after the ALL day sickness and vomiting for 6 months. I did …
Work work work work….
Rihanna's "Work, work, work, work..." could literally be my meme today... It has been a really challenging Monday. From the time I walked into my office at 7:45 right up until I left now. I have barely had time to pee, that's how intense it has been in my office. I was planning on working …
Roundabouts
My life lately has felt like one big never ending roundabout. Somehow, I just felt out of sorts. But in all the events that have made me feel like I am stuck in a roundabout there has been some "memorable" moments too. Yesterday I collect Dudie at school. I decide lets drive with ALL the …
#freethenipple
@freethenipple Have you seen this? Are you aware of it? What do you make of it? I wrote a post about Empowering Women, you can read it here, and it just so happens to be based on my opinions and thought about gender equality or rather gender inequality. This past Sunday, @carteblanchetv did a segment on the …
Admitted…
I know, I know, "life is what happens when you making other plans...John Lennon". I find it rather ironic that I am in hospital and my bag and the resident alien's bag is no where near being packed. I can already hear Mamma telling me that as soon as I get home I'd better pack …
Empowering women? Are we really ready?
This was a random picture my Dude sent to me. Roughly translated "Once upon a time there was a woman that wasn't full of shit. But that was a very long time ago... and it was only that one day". Unfortunately, he caught me on a day where I felt I needed to reinforce my …
Stop and play with the bubblewrap
Sometimes we get so busy and forget to just enjoy our present situations and be grateful for our blessings. Dudie and I are in a foul space. We are constantly bickering and quite frankly I'm not sure why. I am concerned that it may have something to do with the impending arrival of the resident …
