Motherhood Update – Aidan at 18 months

October 3, 2016

18 months – Yep, that’s right!

A year and a half has passed since Aidan Cole Malan came and rocked our world!

The other night I realised that when Alyssa was this age, I was already expecting Aidan and we were so at ease with the decision to have our second child. Alyssa was so passive and calm that we were totally ok with welcoming a new baby into this world. Little did we know how different these two kids would be.

Aidan is like a little energizer bunny… the only time he sits still is when he’s eating or sleeping – basically just to recharge his batteries. He is very demanding and will shout and scream until he gets what he wants.

October School Holiday activities at the V&A Waterfront

September 27, 2016

Schools out and it’s that time when parents start getting anxious about how they are going to entertain their kids for the next couple of weeks.

The V&A Waterfront is Alyssa’s favourite place in Cape Town and we always look forward to what they have to offer the kids during the holidays.

This holiday they don’t disappoint – here’s whats in store:

Stuff We’re Loving Right Now

September 26, 2016

I love trying out new things for my family and always find myself shopping around for products which are healthier, make life easier and sometimes just for the sake of trying new things. Change is as good as holiday – or so they say!

As a blogger, I also often get to try out new things for myself and my family and I love sharing my experiences and take on certain products.

I thought I’d start a new little series and share my views on our favorite stuff. Some sponsored, some not!

Here’s what we are loving right now:

I Ran My First 10km Race

September 19, 2016

At the beginning of the year, I set a resolution to keep healthy and although I haven’t become an Olympian just yet, I have been keeping active and I do feel a lot fitter than last year this time!

So on Sunday, I ran my first 10 km race ever and it feels so amazing! I am literally still buzzing… The Cape Town 10km Peace Run was really awesome. I’m glad I did it and I really enjoyed it.

I run here and there but no serious runner at all, so in preparation of the big 10km, I started doing ParkRun‘s for the last 4 weeks or so. The parkruns are only 5km but it was my way of getting some sort of experience on the road, instead of just running on the treadmill. Since running the parkrun’s I literally can’t do the treadmill anymore. It’s too boring and I get tired quicker for some reason. With each parkrun, my time improves and it’s a really awesome feeling beating that previous personal best.
