WIN Spur Launches New Kiddies Menu And You Could Win A R400 Spur Voucher – Competition Closed

August 17, 2016

Last year, I was one of the lucky people who got to collaborate with Spur and give some input into their proposed new Kids menu. After careful consideration, Spur has now launched the new Kids menu which has been revamped to offer kids an exciting new range of Better-for-you options to complement their old favourites. Yay!

I am so glad to hear that several of our group’s suggestions have been included, giving kids wholesome menu choices. As well as the fall-back burger and chips, kids can now also choose from the ‘Better for you’ page: grilled chicken, sweet potato fries, mielies, and mash for example.

Reviving Our Herb Garden

August 17, 2016

This past weekend we decided to revive our once thriving herb garden. Yay!

Days prior to having real kids, our dogs and little garden were our babies. Not that they don’t get any attention now, it’s just they have taken a back step while we found our feet with the human kids.

As the human kids are getting older, they are the one’s now enjoying playing with the dogs and tending to the garden – and I must say its fun, despite the cooler weather.

On Saturday past, we visited the nursery and grabbed seedlings of all our favourite herbs. Alyssa made sure we got tomatoes! When I told her we had grown hundreds of tomatoes in our garden before she was born, she probably thought she has to see it happen with her own eyes.

Am I The Only One Spending A Fortune On Groceries Every Month?

August 15, 2016

This post has been in draft for a while, but after yet another month of enormous shopping bills – I thought I would share my frustration.

Here is some context: Kurt and I moved in together in 2006 and we were on a very tight budget, having just started out and bought our first home. I clearly remember budgeting about R500 a month for groceries and toiletries – and believe it or not, it was enough.

Well, fast forward 10 years and we are now spending more than 10 times that amount!

Just months after giving birth to her second child, Kim Kardashian is on the beach flaunting her flawless body and curves! How does she do it?

Well… she has personal trainers, dietitians and a personal chef at her disposal 24/7 – so how hard could it really be?

If you choose to look at it that way, you may be right. I however beg to differ, and if you’ve ever started any form of diet or healthy eating & fitness plan, you may just agree with me.
