Cape Town Kid-Friendly Stay-cation Activities

Schools out, Santa’s sleigh bells are ringing and 2016 is knocking at our door. There’s about 5 weeks where we need to keep the kids entertained before schools open in the new year and if you are lucky enough to be able to get out of town for a vacation, that’s half your problem solved.

However for those of us who are having a stay-cation we will need to get creative to keep the kids entertained and free from cabin fever. Day trips will be the answer to this and we are so blessed to be living in Cape Town as there is just so much beauty and adventures awaiting! You don’t have to be a hundred miles away to have fun 🙂

Here are a few ideas on my list to keep Alyssa and Aidan entertained this holidays

Decorex Cape Town 2015

tickets

I was the lucky winner of tickets to the Decorex Expo this past weekend,thanks to the awesome Ceramic factory. I absolutely love their products and their stand at the expo did not disappoint either. I totally fell in love with their ceramics last year when they exhibited at another expo.

My other fave exhibitor stands were definitely Mr. Price Home, where we even got to eat some yummy macaroons and the Caesarstone stand which just had such an appealing and fresh appearance.

Here are some pictures from the Expo – enjoy!

Weekend roundup

We had such a relaxing weekend for the first time in a very long while. Without a list of things to do, we leisurely enjoyed the beautiful Cape Town weather. On Saturday morning we went to the V and A waterfront for breakfast and browsed through the V And A watershed. It was the first time I’d been to the watershed and I will definitely be back again.
