This post is late by 2 months.  A clear sign that I cant keep up, my babies are growing way too fast. I cant believe that 12 months has already passed since our lives were blessed with the presence of Zee.  She is our ray of sunshine.  To say I am loving being a mommy for the second time is understatement.  Zee has changed my view of life and the world completely, in a good way. To celebrate Zee’s milestone, I bought some cup cakes and we celebrated as a family.  The day before her birthday I went to shops during lunch […]

Redstone Hills is the name of collection of cottages situated at the Hills that are redish in color. The highlight of this area is the landscapes. It is tranquil. We rented a two bedroom cottage.  We stayed at Vineyard cottage. Our cottage was built in the 19th century.  They tried to keep the cottage in its original state.  It felt amazing to stay in a place with so much history. We kicked off our with a drive to town. Our holiday cottage was 30 km away from nearby town- Oudtshoorn. Initially we planned to do some touring in town but after […]

Redstone Hills – Buffelskloof farm Vacay Part 1

Who else cannot stand the ‘I am bored mommy’ talk from the kids during school holidays?.  My hand is up. Last week Saturday we packed the kids and drove 6 hours to this beautiful place – Redstone Hills in Oudtshoorn.  The journey was excellent.  Both of our kids are excellent little-travelling-buddies. We took Route 62 instead of our normal N1 route.  I am sure every body has heard about or has experienced  the vibe on Route 62.  Believe me when I say the vibe is strong.  The vibe on this route makes me to just want to be out of control.  You know the feeling […]

Hello Lovelies! Its back to school for Muli.  The school term started on the 6th this months and Muli only started today.  We made arrangements with her teachers. To say Muli was excited about going back to school is an understatement.  Girlfriend was over the moon.  It was so difficult to prepare her for the day this morning.  She was hyper active and kept on mentioning the names of her friends.  She even said it herself ‘Mommy I’m so excited!’. I had no worry this time because she can easily switch from speaking English to French with ease.  When we […]

Happy Friday Friends! Only one week left before the start of summer school holidays.  I went to the tourism office to find out about children entertainment schedules in City of Tours during school holidays.  I also wanted to look for children entertainment places that are a bit far from City Centre.  The holidays will be two months long.  I need some activities to keep us busy in days when we feel like being outdoors.  I’m anticipating a lot of those days. I need places that can be reached by public transport.  Looking for car park can be a nightmare and […]

Five things Im loving this friday

Written by , Posted in Uncategorized

Hello! It is Friday.  I kept myself very busy this week. Shall we get on to what I have been up to?.  Ready?  Lets start. Just look at my inspiration this morning.  I captured this image of the first rays of the new rising sun as I was running up the bridge.  Awesome!.  Don’t you just want to be my running partner?. Once or twice in a week Muli asks to go see the water fountain.  It is a fountain in the nearby mall.  She likes to sit on a chair, watch and listen as water splashes up and down.  […]

Hello Lovelies, How was your week??  Hope you are proud of the work you have accomplished this week and you looking forward to unwind this weekend. As for us, we threw away the ‘to do list’ and just chilled this week .  I only scratched one item on my to do list – sending a gift to Muli’s friend who had a birthday 3 weeks back.  Embarrassing!  The thing is I bought the present but could not attend the birthday celebration.  I kept on postponing to send the gift.  I feel so relieved now that its all done! I postponed […]

Laid back weekend

Written by , Posted in Uncategorized

Hello Friends! This post is late.  Its safe to blame the internet issue.  Still no internet connection in our house.  But I cant shift all the blame to network problems.   Blogging is at the bottom of my priority list these days.  I have too much on my plate.  Back to Laid Back Weekend. I like it when we don’t have plans on  weekends.  You know those weekends mornings when you wakeup because you feel like, not because you have to.  Last weekend was one of those.  Activities unfolded as time goes. Everything was spontaneous.  We ran some errands Saturday morning.  […]
