Whilst moving internationally, well that's just a whole other dimension. Since January the kids have moved city (and home obviously), started at new schools, had to make new friends … Continue reading Change is big
I'm not what you'd describe as a "go with the flow" kinda gal. I love knowing what's happening where and at what time. Going with the flow does not come naturally nor easily to me. One thing I've learnt from Covid19 is that I can go with the flow more than I thought. But... But … Continue reading Go with the flow
This post was written in November 2018 A few months ago I noticed that the rings I was given for my 21st were missing. I didn't think anything more than, 'I must look properly' as I was in a hurry. In hindsight, I should have acted then because now it's too late! Around the same … Continue reading Material possessions, but sentimental

We follow, like and comment on photos posted by people that, most of the time, we don't even know! Why are we so interested in other people's … Continue reading Instagram

I wrote this as a way for me to process my thoughts & feelings on having a third … Continue reading Having a third baby

I regularly hear comments like "why are you always doing things alone", "can't Mr M join us for a meal", "is Mr M seriously working all weekend", "does Mr M ever not work?" and so much more! People love to fantasize … Continue reading Being the wife of an entrepreneur
Can you even handle that Christmas 2020 is just 10 weeks away? This year has flown by (I think largely due to the Covid19 pandemic & lockdown) and I can't believe it's time to share my Christmas wish list 2020 with you'all. As you know we are emigrating early 2021, so my personal Christmas wish … Continue reading Christmas wish list 2020
I met Claire some 5 or 6 years ago; we started Crossfit together and struck up an instant friendship. When she moved to Durban I was so sad to see her go, but it was the right move for her & her 3 beautiful girls. Claire used to compete in fitness competitions in Holland, has … Continue reading Your diet is not only what you eat
