Dads Of Today…

IMG_1988

I will never forget the words of my late Gran when My Mom and I visited her one Sunday Afternoon a few years ago.

Alyssa was just a few weeks old and Kurt said he would be fine to stay with her while we went. So I picked my Mom up and Kurt and Alyssa stayed with my Dad at my parents place.

When we arrived at my Grans, she asked where Alyssa was and we told her that Kurt and my Dad were watching her. She totally freaked out and said how on earth could we leave her with men. What if she needed a nappy change? She basically chased us back home to go and rescue Alyssa!

I Joined A Book Club

Book club 2

When Cindy from 3 Kids 2 Dogs & 1 Old House tweeted in search of pals to join a book club, I was keen to hear more. I love reading, but between work, home-life, blogging, writing etc. it’s been difficult to find the time to actually find a book that catches my interest and then obviously get down to reading it. Well, as I always say – if you want to do something, you have to make the time!

I always loved watching Oprah’s book club on her talk show but always thought I was way too young to be part of a book club.  Which means… I must be getting old.

A Date At Kamers

Hello Lovely People!

On Saturday morning, Kurt and I had a Date which we spent at one of my favourite events of the year – Kamers, which took place at the Good Hope Castle. As usual, it never disappoints.

This is my kinda date – I just love admiring the creative handwork of the traders who showcase their work.

It was so weird being there with no kids, we could leisurely walk around, sip on our drinks and even have real live conversations! We just smirked as we watched parents running after their little ones and trying to manoeuvre their prams through the crowds. Shame, Kurt even helped a lady carry her pram down the staircase.

Before we left home Aidan was asleep and Alyssa was quite fine to stay with their Nanny but she gave us a bit of a send off at the front door and just intimated that we needed to bring back some form of sweet treat to make her happy!

The atmosphere at Kamers was awesome and the weather really made it the perfect day for Kamers. There were so many amazing stands with stunning products on offer. I had to have a budget for the day, or else I would have gone seriously overboard!
