My busy boy!

Sometimes he can totally give you a facial that just means... No Photo Mum! Lol he has said it to his Nana at one point. But never to me. Must just be because the camera is never too far away. This monkey is just growing up way to fast these days. Talking too much and just way to busy and energetic for me at times. Love him too bits.

Daddddyyyyyy!!!!

Way too excited when daddy arrives home from work. I couldn't not take a few shots of this moment. Way too cute.

Who could resist this cutie.

Mummy swim please...

Lol I know a huge paddle pool with next to nothing water in it. I guess a 2 year old doesn't really care. Just as long as he can play and 'swim'

Fun on a hot day!

One of those humid days where my toddler totally drives me crazy and we decide to play in the water for a bit of fun. January sunshine!!!

Conversation Starters...

Conversation starters for mums...

I run a mummy connect group and tonight I thought of creating some conversation starters to use for an ice-breaker. It is a fortnightly group where a group of mums come together with their babies/kids. We drink coffee/tea and have a good old discussion. The year for us has just begun! We just had our first group this past Tuesday and it was so nice to catch up with everyone. Some went camping... who are not usually the camping type. Some of us had new additions to our families. Some are expecting new additions this year. And sadly some of our amazing mums won't be attending our group any longer due to circumstances. So I am really going to have to do my homework and recruit some new mums to join our group.

It is a Christian based group. I love doing my lessons in relation to what our days are like as mum, wife, daughter, friend. And as you all will know it is a never ending job!

I look forward to what this year has in store for us. Especially as our kids are growing older and there are always new challenges to face. This group always helps me to listen to what other mums experience in their journey of motherhood.

15 years.....

Wow I can't even believe how fast time really just flies by! 15 years ago my older sister and I arrived in New Zealand from South Africa to start afresh. It was so hard at first, everything about NZ was just so slow and so behind. Where SA was so loud and crazy and so much fun. Took us a few months to adjust to the lifestyle and even longer to grow to love being here. Deep down in my heard SA will always be home. Afrikaans is the norm! People tend to think because we live here we can't speak or understand it anymore. REALLY!!! Come onnnnnn... Ons taal, bly ons taal!

So much has happened in these 15 years. Good and bad! But lets just focus on the good. Looking forward to many more wonderful years in beautiful NZ!

Heeelllllllooooooooo...

Sorry I haven't taking any time to update my blog. This little man has been keeping me oh so busy. Not just him the Mr 2 year old has been keeping me busy non stop since this little one came along. Well he has started back at daycare again so I get more time to do what I like. Well it has been an amazing few weeks. Getting use to saying my kids and not just my son. Love it! I never thought everything would just fall into place the way it did. I never quite imagined what it would be like to have to two boys. It is absolutely lovely. A lot of hard work, but lovely and just such a blessing. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Chat again soon...
