When it was raining on Saturday I decided if it is still overcast or raining on Sunday I was not walking. This is not my favourite trail so I was just looking for a reason but when I woke up it was blue skies and sunshine so off I went. And I am glad I…
It feels like it is Friday every day at the moment. I have grand plans to write more, the suddenly it is Friday again. I was skeptical about every woman who hit 40 recently suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD but let me tell you, I have been so scattered the last few weeks, I think…
The last time we walked the Hazeldean Valley trail was earlier this year at the end of our rainy season. It was literally 5km of mud, puddles, slipping and by the end of it we were all covered in mud. But it was still an adventure. The walk itself is really easy – it is…
I had my weekly coffee date with Eve this morning. She mentioned that there is a chance Donald Trump may win a Nobel Peace Prize! It looks like he didn’t but I didn’t every thing I would be in a world where this was a possibility. What a time to be alive, right? Glimmers (Glimmers…

Even though we homeschool, Emma does now have a tutor. Everyone is also getting ready for end of year gifts so I made a few goodies for Emma to sell at her markets. I decided to try iron-on vinyl again because it has been my nemesis – I can’t get the heat of the iron…
Can you believe it is October. This year seems have flown by and taken forever at the same time! We have no started planning and prepping for our December holiday and I can not wait. We have booked a house near Kenton on Sea that allows pets. Glimmers (Glimmers are micro-moments of joy that make…
What was your biggest win or accomplishment this month? Definitely walking two long, tough walks. I did Klapperkop for the second time and it was tough but I really enjoyed it. Our walk at Rietvlei wasn’t hard but it was very hot and one of our longer walks. Share your favorite moment or memory from…
