Keeping A BREAST with World Breastfeeding Week
So 1 - 7 August 2017 is World Breastfeeding Week. It's ironic as Troll, who is just over 6 months old, has decided to "wean" himself from my breast... When Troll was in utero, I decided that I would be happy if I could breastfeed for 6 months. Perhaps I would make it to 12 …

Kids get sick
Kids get sick at the most inopportune times in OUR lives. It will either be in the wee hours of the morning, or at school, or weekends, or on holiday, etc. Isn't is just incredible how kids make a miraculous recovery whilst you are sitting in the Paediatric waiting area? Please tell me it is …
Because it’s V-day
Because it's V-day I thought I'd add my 2 cents...We are not phased by celebrating Valentines Day, as I do think its commercialised and just a marketing ploy to guilt people into feeling obligated to "do/buy" something for their significant other.

Who wants to be a Millionaire?
If PROCRASTINATING was a job I would be a millionaire. No kidding. I am AMAZING at it! I am also AMAZING at working under pressure and to strict deadlines. Today, my brain feels bleh, yet I have so many things that I can say or talk about. I am just not finding the right words …
Year end drain and winding down…
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 …
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 …
