Back To School In The Millennium When I was a kid I remember the ‘back to school’ panic happening a day or two before school started. We used to run into the first shop and get everything we needed for the year. Well, that’s how I remember it. However, now that I’m a mom it feels […]
#MomFail Day Climbing Kilimanjaro, Day 4 dawns. It’s the day of her birthday and I am not there. My heart feels broken. I am missing her ninth birthday. This was the first thoughts through running through my mind when I opened my eyes. (Problem) To climb Kilimanjaro takes physical strength but you can’t climb this […]
Freezing cold and ice covered the ground all around us. Waking up on the morning of day 3 of climbing Kilimanjaro I was blown away by the beauty that surrounded us. We arrived in snow and rain the previous day, and this prevents you from seeing everything clearly. It was breathtaking, but it was cold. […]
As some of you know and some might not know, I am also the girl behind Muppie Lounge. I absolutely love what I do and in a way it shows off my true colors. I normally write about Muppie Lounge over at the Muppie Lounge Blog but I decided to write about the last range here […]
Mommy Is Home Returning home after one of the most epic experiences of my life felt so good. A newfound appreciation for the simpler things in life, like a pillow and brick walls etc. I’ve missed the kids so much. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was so good.

I wrote about this before but just can’t seem to shake it. It’s either that or I’m totally and completely unorganised. I can assure you it’s not that! I am very organised and have all my ducks in a row. At least from the moment the kids school comes out at 12:30. Is It Me? Am […]
My kids went away for two weeks and it was really hard to say the least. My entire life runs around them. They were my number one priority and everything from the day I became a mom. I have since always only planned everything in and around my life around them. When the kids went […]
I am a very competitive person who always wanted to do well from a very young age. I won’t say a ‘win’ was the only way for me, but I wanted to be on top. This was my mindset no matter what I did. Let it be sport, school, home, between me and my sibling, […]
I honestly don’t know how I got through this week? It’s a miracle! Not only did I manage to make two ball gowns for my girls, but we made it to all our extra activities, we had to study for four formal assessments and my prep for Sunday school is done. The Navy Blue One […]
