We had always decided that when Oli turned 8, we’d give his room a makeover and upgrade it a little. What was originally going to be out sourced we then decided to do by ourselves (hello Covid), so Oli was evicted from his room for a week while we (mostly Daddy) got to work (I…
You think Covid-19 is a joke? It’s not. How do I know? We’re living through it in our own home right now. My darling husband tested positive this week, after a routine swab test. He’s been on the front-line this entire pandemic traveling to the hospital build he’s overseeing in Swaziland (which was deemed essential),…
Sophie has always, always loved the limelight. Maybe it’s just her personality or a second-child thing – she’s never one to be outdone by anyone. When the camera (or phone comes out), so does this little sassy persona (kinda like Sasha Fierce). We chatted to her about modelling last year after doing some shoots for…
We always said we’d let Oli settle into his new environment (read about his move to a remedial school here) before reassessing his diagnosis. Moving Oli to the school he’s in now has been the best thing for him. He was placed with the most perfect teacher for him with the most incredible group of…
Behind my smile is an anxiety riddled woman, wife and mom. I don’t know how many of you know this, but I take medication daily to help control my anxiety, and it’s okay. I’ll openly admit it. It doesn’t mean I’m damaged or any less of a woman, wife or mother. My earliest memory of…
Reading during our time in lockdown has been one of our biggest joys. Usually we would have weekly readers and library books coming home with Oli but, for obvious reasons, we’ve resorted to picking our own ‘readers’ for him. Thank goodness we have books in abundance. Soph, not one to be left behind, ‘reads’ to…
My sweet Soph, Wow, that year went fast! Just the other day we were celebrating you turning four with a Tutti Fruitti party and this year it’s entirely different. We’ve been holed up at home for going on three weeks now, since the first Presidential address, bar a couple of walks to the park at…
If you’re not used to cleaning your home yourself, daily, the prospect can be completely overwhelming. Those who are blessed to have help around the house are probably ready to have a minor freak out round about now. I do all the cleaning at home, besides for the ironing. It’s my nemesis. But after all…
If you’ve followed me forever and a day, you might remember this post, so I thought I’d do a little update on our sleeping situation at home – with the kids aged now 7 and 4 ½. No surprise with the heading of this blog post, it’s musical beds in our home, except even when the…
So many of you beautiful people have sent me messages and DMs wishing our Oli a good first day at his new school, and in his new Grade so I just wanted to do a little update for all those asking. His anxiety, and mine, have been at an all-time high with yet another school…
