Having a Tribe

Its been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog. So much has happened. Emotionally and physically but mostly emotionally it has been a hectic year more like 2 years for my family.

Every now and then I think about getting back to the blog but this things going on in my life is not light and fluffy. In the past I use to post about the good the bad and the ugly but over the last couple…

Nothing worse than fear

I’m sitting at my desk in the office and my mind is everywhere else but here and I am trying really hard to concentrate but it’s not working.

I generally try really hard to keep personal feelings, emotions and stuffs at home and not bring it to work but today that isn’t working.

Yesterday was horrid and emotional and scary all at the same time.

I still don’t have final answer but I have…

The final goodbye – Rebranding

Over the last couple of years this blog has become a part of me – I was reminded of how much when a parent at Voortrekkers called me “Stilettomum” but this blog does not feel like me anymore. I miss blogging, I love blogging. But this blog does not do it for me anymore. I need some change in my life. Start new. Start over… I love and appreciate every one of you for sticking with me over the last…

As women we should be all thinking about Wealth…

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from yet another PR agency… at first I did not even plan on opening the email, but something told me to open and read it. How happy was I that I did! It was about a Women’s & Wealth event being held and as a women wanting some more wealth in her life, I read a little more about the event and even before posting about it or responding to the PR agency… I…

How to Handle a Bad Report Card

As the end of the year draws near, exams starts all over again and we as parents jump into gear to ensure that our children get good report cards. In my house we work towards this the entire year and not just close to the exams, but even with all the hard work we put in, the results are not always what we wished it would be. Every parent wants to know that their child is smart, every parent wants…

I just love being a parent to siblings... NOT!

I just love being a parent to siblings… NOT!

Last night my kids were in bed an in dream land by 20:00. I really want to pat myself on the back and say “your such a good parent” but that is not the case. They went to bed without a bath. They went to bed without hugs and kisses. They went to bed without getting their things ready for school the next day. They went to be upset. But I am okay with all of that! Do you want to know why? Because…

What are we doing to our children?

My morning began with me finding an article called “The silent tragedy affecting today’s children by Victoria Prooday” and it is really worth the read. She started her post off by saying the following: “Here is my new blog post. I encourage every parent who cares about the future of his/her children to read it. I know that many would choose not to hear what I say in the article, but your children…

Out of the mouth of babes

Last night was one of those night where the husband and I could not stop laughing at Lorelai. She was on a roll! Everything that came out of her mouth was hilarious and she wasn’t even trying. I got me thinking about how when our kids are little we record everything they say and do and as they get older we get to busy to do this or we just forget. The funniest thing that happened last night was…

The privilege of being a child of today…

Our children are privileged. The mostly live in nice, warm houses. We mostly drive decent cars and the only walking they do is in the park as an outing. They do not know about walking to and from school. They do not know about taking public transport or being home alone. They are growing up in a different world than the one I did. Some mornings my mom would drop us off at school and others we had…
