Sunday Social: Relaxing and Accomplishments

pinterest.com

What is your ideal way to relax: I would pour myself a steaming bubble bath with one of those lekker bath pillows that keep me from slipping down the tub. I’d have candles and a big glass of wine and a personal assistant to give me a conditioning treatment and facial. We would finish the bath as my face mask is just on and switch over to a comfy robe and giant lazy boy where I would receive more wine along with a mani and pedi. After this, my facial would be completed and I would end the time with a massage and wrap.....all the while, Hubby would be spending quality time with the boys out and about getting ice creams and no one getting in trouble for tantrums ;-)

Sunday Social and a Weekend Update

Hey, peeps! How was your weekend?? Mine was....eventful! ;-)

Friday, if you'd checked on Instagram, I cut work a little early and headed to the school for a poppetee. You can read about last years'. But it is basically, an afternoon tea held every year for the mommies at the creche. We had a couple of hours of laughs, chit chat and lekker food! It was a great way to start the weekend!

10 Essential Questions To Decide If You Are Ready To Be A Pro Blogger? http://goo.gl/2opLEY via @SteamFeedcom

What You Missed: Randomness and Links

Hi peeps! Another week done and dust, no?

It’s been...quiet! Not on the blog, but in life in general. Slowly, over the last few weeks, we’ve been transitioning back into routine mode. Bedtimes have become more structured, Mama has been getting things done in the evenings, and our social life has been put slightly to the backburner!

Not that I’m complaining. This was, is necessary. This was nice! Saturday, Hubby had gone fishing the morning and afternoon and when he got home, we quickly went to the shop and took LJ to the doctor. While out a close friend asked if we wanted to braai. My gut reaction was NO. We’d been very specific about not wanting to do anything for a few weeks, but this friend is a rustig (calm) friend. Don’t get me wrong...he can enjoy a party! But he knows the deal with kids too.

What You Missed Week 2

Hi peeps! How’s 2014 going so far? Mine....lazy! No seriously though, this coming Wednesday everything goes back to normal! Lil Mister begins school again....so although I’ve had a million things that needed done this past week, I’ve just enjoyed the peace of an empty house. Of course the kids and Hubby are there....but it’s nice just being able to melt back into routine.

Speaking of routine....we are working hard to get that started again! I won’t lie...my laziness isn’t helping (neither is LJ’s teething!) but we’ll get there. Next week....it’s all strict again. Clean kitchen at night, lunches made and bags packed before bed! Lil Mister will begin school now and LJ starts his first day of school ever asof the 3^rd of February!

What You Missed W51

Here we are peeps! Only a week and a half left in December and in 2013! I really can’t believe so much time has passed! This past week has been a whirl wind of emotions for me.

I was so grateful to have Ma visiting us for a few extra days after LJ’s party! It was nice to have her in the house...however! My idea was that Ma was supposed to be resting! Ma had a knee surgery the week before and was not supposed to be up and walking so much! Do you think this happened?!? NO! She was soaking up every second with the boys. Which I can totally understand, but....defeated the purpose of rest! Also, it totally makes me feel guilty when I see her doing stuff in my house! Partly because I don’t want her to feel she has to and partly because I’m thankful because in reality....I’m exhausted and lazy after work! :-/ So there is the honesty! I absolutely love having Ma here....but she needs to learn to kick back a little!

Today I'm linking up for Sunday Social. We are discussing favorites! So read about it and join us! We'd love to hear what you have to say!

What you missed W44

Ai....another week gone! Have you heard me mention that we are planning, hoping, and praying to make it to Durban this month to visit our Grandparents? Well, if all goes well...it’s two weeks away! TWO FRACKIN’ WEEKS PEEPS!

In light of this...I need some posts! I’ll be away from the blog for a week! I’ll still check your comments, reply and catch up on just relaxing and reading all your lovely words, but I won’t be posting. :-/ I know you’ll miss me. I’ll miss you too! However...most importantly, who wants to hook up Organized Chaos with some guest posts?

Party over here....party over here!

 

Sunday Social...Let's talk Fall

1. What is your favorite fall activity?

I think the thing I miss the most about fall in America is the cookouts! We braai here and have a great time, but there is something about a cookout. Roasting wieners over a fire and making smores...curling up for a hay ride and hiding in the crunchy leaves! I miss the hot ciders and the chill of the setting sun!

And awesome walks around Chicago! I love Chi-town in the fall!

What You Missed W36

Lil Mister and Oupa watching the races!

I'm so freaking nervous peeps! For those of you who aren't following me on Twitter or Facebook, I posted today that Hubby Dearest is reading this little corner of the www for the VERY.FIRST.TIME! Now, I really don't have anything to worry about because I'm not on here bashing his name or dragging our family through the mud. I have nothing to be embarrassed about because I am nothing but honest.

However....I guess I just hope he is proud! 

Sunday Social....Reminiscing, Living, and Foreseeing

This was a little hard for me this week since we opposite yall in seasons! I debated on whether to do it for last summer, winter which is now ending, or upcoming summer predictions...I couldn’t decide so I did all three! ;-)

A random video...or four

There is a lot going on this week and I promise to catch everyone up soon! But for today...sit back and listen to the lovely voices of Jay & Lianie May...absolutely falling into my top 5 favorite South African artists! Don't worry if you don't understand Afrikaans....you can still love the vibe of their music!! ;-)
