The Big 40

May 11th, 2012

When I look back 40 years ago, I do so with a smile. Oh, don’t get me wrong my life is far from perfect BUT I’m happy – stressed BUT happy. I grew up in a home with two siblings. My late brother and I never really saw eye to eye BUT I’ve made peace with it [...]

Soul Searching

March 30th, 2012

It is no big secret that I am a spiritual child, a believer. I recently had my soul cleansed and freed from all negative energy. It seems that I was losing my way. I’ve been given an awesome talent and I was abusing and neglecting it. I was focusing on the wrong people and the [...]

Life

March 28th, 2012

Life is such a precious gift. Last month I had a serious wake up call. I was hospitalized because of suspect TIA. Thankfully it was just stress. I was lucky this time round. My body started sending me signals to slow down and take it easy. I have had to re look at my life [...]

My mornings start at around 6:15 am. I get the kids fed, dressed and ready for school. Barend makes the girls bottles, Joshua his tea and me the wifey a cup of  coffee (I’m spoilt that way). Our mornings run smoothly there is no fighting or arguing. Barend and the kids are usually out of [...]

Super, super stressed

I’m sitting here writing this post with a blinding headache and a belly ache. This past month has been very stressful. As most of you know we launched our new containers (super excited), but I was let down by our supplier in a big way.  Needless to say it has set me back quite a [...]

Divorced Families – Children

September 20th, 2011

As most of you are aware Joshua’s father and I divorced a good few years ago. Divorce is never easy on anyone, especially the children involved. As soon as we knew the divorce was in the pipeline we took Joshua for play therapy, we wanted him to understand that it was not his fault. So [...]

Friendship

September 13th, 2011

I’ve been reading quite a few blog posts about friendship and decided to share my bit. Friendship is something I truly value. I consider myself to be a good friend. I am the type of friend that will take your 2 am call because you’re in need. I unfortunately, don’t do well with high maintenance [...]

Blogging and Tweeting

July 27th, 2011

Blogging is somewhat addictive. I was inspired by Laura and my hubby. I started blogging approximately 2 years ago. I would write a post daily but at the mo I really don’t have the time. I’ve met some really wonderful people through the blogging world. At first I was a little hesitant to start blogging. I kept [...]
