Paarl – The Perfect Kids Playground

July 13, 2016

Last week, Kurt and I were lucky enough to take the kids on a day tour through the beautiful town of Paarl, less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town. We got to visit 4 different kid-friendly places in the heart of the Cape Winelands!

It was a real treat for the kids and besides the midday tantrum which Alyssa decided to throw, it was a fun-filled day for the whole family. It was so funny because on the day, she was wearing a t-shirt which says #nofilter – and that day there really was no filter 🙂

I think she was just hungry, because as soon as she finished her lovely lunch at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate, she was back to her normal self but instead of just saying “Mom, I’m hungry”, the entire lunch sitting had to hear her moans and cries for no particular reason.

July 9, 2016

There’s just a few more weeks to check out the Snow World at SunExhibits, GrandWest and you HAVE to check it out before it’s gone!

My little family and I attended the Media Launch in May and we had such an amazing time. Aidan had his first snow and slide experience 🙂

Before I show you some pictures of the event (watch out.. there are some scary Daddy selfies) and before I give you some good news, here’s of what Snow World has to offer:

Family Photoshoot with Lauren Pretorius Photography

July 8, 2016

I’m so happy to share some images of our Family Shoot with Lauren Pretorious Photography. Lauren is absolutely amazing to work with and it’s unbelievable that she captured such amazing shots in less than an hour.

Aidan is obsessed with cars, and Lauren knew exactly how to keep him happy throughout the shoot with an adorable little vintage car. He inspected the wheels, the lights and just could not get enough of it. Alyssa loves posing for photos, so she too was in her element.

We have over 60 amazing pictures, but I thought I’d share my favourite shots.

My Thoughts on Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected-A Memoir

July 5, 2016

I was super excited when my first book from our newly formed Book Club arrived last month and I really didn’t expect the emotional roller-coaster which would come from reading this first book.

The book couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s a memoir by Photographer, Blogger and writer Kelle Hampton who shares her experience of giving birth to her second child, a gorgeous little girl who was born with Down Syndrome. The Down Syndrome diagnosis was only discovered after the birth and in the first few chapters, Kelle vividly describes those first few days of how she came to terms with it. Definitely a big pill to swallow, but the support from her friends and family who surrounded her really got her through that trying time.
