It just occurred to me that I haven’t written anything on anything to anyone for a very long time. I always create the time for my writing. I never believe people when they say that they didn’t have time to do something, as I figure if something is important to you then you create that time. Straight. Like I am right now. I have crazy deadlines but sometimes my blog is like my go-to person. That person that you go to to offload, talk, rationalize and just catch up. This is where I mostly catch up with myself. If you don’t keep a journal of some kind, then you really should. This blog lets me create the appearance that I am a normal and well-rounded individual. IT’S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS PEOPLE.

In the rain, on a rather small boat and very experienced captain. I missed the sh*t out of my kids and got to meet several amazing people and online crushes, but most importantly I got to meet Keri and she is awesome. I did all of this with love, passion and … Read the rest

This weekend our little family is off to Southern Sun’s The Cullinan, right here in Cape Town. We’re packing our bags & (hopefully) swimsuits for a two night stay to tell you all about SunBreaks Leisure Rates. You can stay at any (exceptions on Garden Court) Tsogo Sun hotel or resort from now until 31 January 2013 from R625 per person sharing per night. Kids under 18 (staying with parents) stay and eat breakfast – for fuh-ree. Sorry – for free. So if you go on holiday with your kids – they don’t pay to sleep over or eat breakfast. I know.
So this weekend the boys and I will be your SunBreaks Cape Town Correspondents. Yes, it’s a real job title. I am embarrassed to say that I have been living in Cape Town for almost five years on and off, and I have never done even half … Read the rest
