Makes me look even more forward to my week in Zanzibar next month. Its going to be bliss I tell you! Fishs dad freaks me out as soon as I'm happy he knows it and then tries to screw it up. Damnit well not this time. I won't friggin let him!

i feel like all i do lately is post blog swops LOL i am still on about how quick time is going... hahaha :P i found the BEST idea for fish's thank you gifts rattling round my brain thanks to PnP clothing! am thinking of getting shirts in the kiddos sizes and having their names embroidered across the shoulder blades... now just to think what to give to those who don't have kiddos... any ideas?

today was pretty uneventful cept that i had a devine breakfast cooked for me by my friend pooky and her bf who is visiting from bloemfontein. she wanted him to finally meet fish. mmm... that breakfast was DEVINE i tell you DEVINE!  after that it was movie day, one after the other. couldn't go anywhere or do anything as the weather was miserable and fish had a mood to match! laweyers went over

so the house is ours :) everyone agreed on it and the agent came round to sign the papers. now i've been with that company before and they f***ed us over so this time round i sent her on a little "quest" (to get the owner to put a pool cover on for fish's safety) while i have the lawyers look over the contract, as just browsing through it (from previous experience) there are a few illegalities in

those of you who are friendlings that follow my posts know that i recently invested pretty much all of me into a house that i've been wanting for years now only for the agent to "give it away" to a friend even though the owner himself gave me first option. well regardless. i guess that is life for you. people are mean and generally you can't trust anyone but you. well i to have friends in

Brownies with Beans Dense, fudgey and ultra-healthy, these brownies are a great alternative to traditional brownies! they are aslo vegan friendly :) i like brownies almost as much as i love cupcakes! Notes: Rolled oats run through the food processor may substituted for the instant oats. Use optional sugar if your bananas are still green and not very ripe. Ingredients: 15 ounces

No, it’s not a rather major typo or a poor attempt at alliteration at all costs. I actually did make cookies made with choc chips and chickpeas. They were from Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious. I can see why chickpeas work, they’re like a soft, very mild tasting nut. But the idea of chickpeas in a cookie is somewhat jarring. And given that there are 2 whole cups of chocolate chips,

today has been so lazy, but enjoyable. pigged out on pumpkin pie and curry and going to make chickpea & chocolate chip cookies as a yummy snack :) fish has been really good today minus that he won't go down for an afternoon nap. BUT... it is his 10 month "bday" today so here is to a wonderful 10 months with our little fish and to many many more! and... here are my top 10 blogs of the week:

the seli 1 has been stranded on blouberg beach for months now and was a real topic of news a while back (it's died down since then) but it seems that the boat was rather unhappy with the lack of news coverage and today it went up in flames. i only know bits and bobs of the story so i think rather watch the news for what really happened. but i was able to get a media pass and take some shots.

i made a batch of these on the weekend... well they were fought over! they are devine and i was instructed to make more :) they are best cold as you then don't taste the spinach and if you keep them in the fridge (if they last that long) they stay nice and moist. these are vegetarian and lactose free. though not vegan as there are egg whites in. you could try an egg replacement indgredient i'm

“My blog is carbon neutral” is an initiative, originally started in Germany by the “Make it Green” programme, that has the goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. they plant a tree for your blog and thereby neutralise your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years! Everyone can make a small contribution to the environment. Every tree counts! so... is YOUR blog carbon neutral?

as with sunday tradition here are my favorite bloggers this week :) you know, last night i was trying to find a post from my old blog... the one i wrote BEFORE i was a mommy: life is one big empty canvas, and i was so surprised. i was a kid back then, writing my final exams in my last year of school, travelling to germany, running a sushi restaraunt... and i was an excellent writer, to the point

you know what? i had a whole blog written out. everything i'm anxious and nervous and stressed about but i hit delete... because today's blog is not about me, or my kids, or pig or batman. it's about someone that's been around for a long time. it's about someone close to my heart and really special to me. whiskey came into our lives 9 years ago, we ordered a "puppy" from the SPCA in windhoek

so i've decided to make the recipe sharing a weekly habit... this could be anything from mac and cheese to cupcakes. you're all just lucky to get cupcakes twice in a row this month ;) this specific bunch was baked to be sent off to school for rudi's 9th birthday! can't believe the lil rock star is getting so old... which means i'm getting old. um... let's stop now ;) Cupcake Mommies party

so this morning i woke up upset, might be because i went to bed upset... i was a little, okay a lot, peeved with batman as i felt he made no effort to make my first mothers day special. okay yes, i understand he's not here but still. they deliver flowers you know... well. boy oh boy was i in for a surprise today. batman COMPLETELY made up for not being here AND for not sending flowers. my first

wowee did we only have fun today! it started off a little "bumpy" as fish had a bit of a tumble off the couch onto the tiles while uncle rudi was supposed to be watching him... poor rudi felt so bad that he actually vomitted! but fish is alright, he just has a battle bruise to sport around for a bit. we went out to the Atlantis Dunes for some FUN FUN FUN with sunscene outdoor adventures for
