Could this have been the longest week of the year?
Well, it certainly felt that way and so I’ve been looking forward to this weekend. So much so, that I decided to put this post together and share some of the things I look forward to this weekend.
In fact, I have a jam packed weekend but I’ll just share a few things on my list.
Mark your calendar!
Four Paarl wine producers are celebrating the annual waterblommetjie season during the Waterblommetjie Festival on Saturday, 1 September, from 09h00 till 16h00. This indigenous edible flower is only in season during late winter and early spring and will be showcased in a variety of ways during a fun-filled day.
Boland Cellar, Domaine Brahms, Rhebokskloof Wine Estate and Windmeul Cellar are located within a 5km radius, which makes it easy for festival-goers to visit all four participating wineries. Each venue has its own signature waterblommetjies dishes, fantastic wines and amazing entertainment.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a taste of what the festival will have in store when we visited the participating wineries and I can promise you that there’ll be something for the whole family! From water-infused gin to waterblommetjie ice-cream, you are in for a real treat.
Going full steam back into the gym recently after weeks of not doing a thing, my body really felt the pain. Who said there was a thing as muscle memory?
Well, it’s my own fault actually. I didn’t just start off with a quick and easy workout. I started off with a 60 minute Rumble class at the Gym which is basically a fast pace, circuit-based boxing class!
My muscles didn’t seem to remember any way of recovering after that class!!!
It literally felt like I had shackles on my ankles and elbows (yes elbows) and every time I laughed my entire right side pulled stiff.
Must be age catching up with me?
Is it just plain old human nature to compare things?
Most of us are guilty of comparing ourselves with others at some point, even when we know that we really shouldn’t. I suppose it’s a bit of human nature to see how we fare against our peers in certain respects, but it will never ever be a fair comparison.
Everyone is different. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses and we are all at different stages of our lives.
But when it comes to raising your kids, is it normal to compare your own children with each another?
