School’s officially out and most parents are thinking about ways to keep the kids entertained and out of mischief for the next few weeks.
If you live in Cape Town – don’t despair! There are a host of things for you and the kids to do and I’ve compiled a list of activities happening in and around the Mother City this holiday.
The Winter Holidays are here and Family fun and entertainment is set at Canal Walk Shopping Centre with the much-anticipated annual theatre production! This year, the age-old tale of ‘giving and equality for all’ comes to life with the telling of Robin Hood, as Centre Court is transformed into Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.
On Saturday I got to take Alyssa and her 2 cousins to see the production and we really enjoyed it. Alyssa hadn’t really heard about Robin Hood, prior to the show so the storyline was completely new to her. I think her cousins who are a little older (aged 5 and 8) comprehended it a little better and were intrigued every minute.
I used to blog and write from our dining room table in the evenings which started to become rather uncomfortable. My blogging and writing started off as a hobby but has really become my “thing” and this year I’ve decided to invest in myself and have my own little sanctuary.
So every evening, after the kids are asleep and before I join my hubby in bed (ooh la la), I now have my own little space to let my creative juices flow.
What used to be a reading corner in our lounge, where a bookshelf and one-seater was, is now my “office”. It’s still a work in progress, decor wise, but its coming together. It’s missing some family photo’s and some stationary but we almost there…
Who Doesn’t Love Dora?
If you haven’t heard of Dora – Dora the Explorer is a play-along, animated adventure TV series following Dora and her best friend, Boots as they explore their world. Since its launch on Nickelodeon in 2000, Dora the Explorer has emerged as a global phenomenon, seen around the world and translated into more than 30 languages. The show has received numerous international industry awards including the Peabody, NAACP, Alma, Latino Spirit, Gracie Allen, several Parents’ Choice Awards, the Television Critics Association award and 15 Daytime Emmy nominations.
Alyssa is obsessed with this programme and is so happy to know that Dora will be in Town soon…
