Beautiful Boy, You are getting so big. Each day with you is a total blessing - you have such a sweet and gentle soul. A lot has happened this month - you started to go to daycare and your mom started work again this week. You are such an easy-going little guy, your caregivers call you the "smiling baby". They take such good care of you and I'm sure you enjoy each day as you learn and play. You came down with a fever yesterday and I got totally flustered - this is the first time that you've…

We really needed to go away for the past long weekend. We were not quite ready for roughing it with the little one so I looked for a nice bed and breakfast to stay, not too far away from home. We found this little gem in the resort town of Bela-Bela (previously known as Warmbad). The main selling point for us is always white linen. I don't know why most guest houses don't get this. De Kunst Huisje is owned and managed by Martin, Yolandé and little Mia. The rooms are very stylish, the…

Finn, You are four months old - where did the time go? I guess every parent asks that at least once a month. We love you more and more - your friendly face when you wake up, your little screams, how you concentrate to get hold of something and put it in your mouth, your frown (yes, even your frown is beautiful). We love how you are increasingly interested in the things of this world. You are more precious than what we could ever imagine.

...we said yes. It was a great great day and I always look back with fond memories. Three years, many adventures, some heartache and a beautiful baby boy later, I'm more and more thankful for this man

For Thys' 30th birthday celebration the one thing we knew is that we wanted to keep it local. Really local. As in Sunnyside local. A few things crossed our minds like a street party in El Sol (wich would've not gone down well with the Body Corporate and trustees), a picnic in the dog park or a few drinks at the Bowling club. Then a colleague told me about this guy who does home-made pizzas in his wood-fired oven on Fridays. I called him and the rest is history... Let me introduce you to the…

We were fortunate enough to spend the weekend in Lesotho. We were left breathless by the landscapes and scenes this country produces. We stayed at the Malealea Lodge - best value for money and enough character to make you feel warm and fuzzy for the entire weekend.

This lovely new eatery recently opened in P-town. I am totally smitten with the interior design and their coffee and breakfast is great. This beautiful shop is the brain-child of Zane Figueiredo, who made a career change after 10 years in IT. You can certainly see and taste the passion that went into making this dream a reality. I hope they have many many customers for many successful years. You can also see the progress report on Mia Widlake's blog, Studio number 19. For more info, like…
