Tomorrow our baby turns 2. Wow, what a year it’s been. I’m lying in bed thinking of all the wonderful things we’ve done together, all the new experiences we’ve had together, all that we’ve overcome together and all that we’ve learnt together. In February I had meningitis and wasn’t allowed to see Tristan. That was … Continue reading Tomorrow my baby turns 2!

Party planning commences
In less than 4 weeks time, my little monkey will be 2 years old! WTF? How did that happen so quickly? It feels like the last year (almost 2 actually) have flown by in the blink of an eye. Granted, the first 14 months passed in a sort of haze due to my PND but … Continue reading Party planning commences
Tuesday 14 November 2017
Today Tristan made a wee in his potty for the first time! He's wee'd outside and in the shower lots before but was our first potty wee! So chuffed that he did it! There's something I've been thinking about a lot recently and I feel I need to put it down. The other day at … Continue reading Tuesday 14 November 2017

Life update
A life update. Tristan is such a joy at the moment! He's on school holidays (just for a week) and we've been having such fun together. We've had lie-in's till 6:30am which has been amazing and then the best snuggles in bed until breakfast time. We've gone to gym, had smoothies and lots of laughs … Continue reading Life update
Slow down

It's called Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman. It's basically a mom singing to her son/daughter about slowing down the growing up process. … Continue reading Slow down
Stay at home mum
Yup, that's me, a stay at home mum. Well that's not entirely true, I also have a business (Southey Travel and Family Travel South Africa) that I am working hard to get going again. So, being a stay at home mum to most people means that I sit around all day twiddling my thumbs and … Continue reading Stay at home mum
The days are long but the years are short
The days are long but the years are short. I'm sitting here thinking back just a couple of months and thinking to myself, how was I ever going to get Tristan to drop his nighttime bottle and eventually sleep in a big bed. Fast forward to now and he's not only dropped his bedtime bottle … Continue reading The days are long but the years are short
What do I want?
As I sit here writing I am trying to think about what's important to me; what do I want out of my life? Who do I want to be, what do I want to do, what's going to fulfill me? This is something that's been in the back of my mind for a while now … Continue reading What do I want?
Consistency is key
Consistency is key. Argh, I know I will start to see results as I string one good day with another and another and another blah blah blah. But it's so hard because, as far as I'm concerned nothing has changed thus far with my body. I don't feel a loosening in my clothes and I … Continue reading Consistency is key
