Blogger Opportunity and a Weekend Recap!

Hello, peeps! The weekends go so fast and it becomes Monday all over again! I hope all of you had a blessed time. It seems like there is never enough hours in the day but we all keep moving forward. Life lately has been no different!

I mentioned that Lil Mister was spending the weekend at Ouma, so Saturday started off quiet. LJ and I took some time and went to town in the morning. That child is eating me out of house and home right now! He ate two bowls of cereal, a mini bag of crackers and a jam sandwich before we left! Then at Hubby’s work he had two, TWO wors pieces! That is like two sticks of bratwurst. He was asleep when we got home but sure enough he ate a pack of ramen noodles when he woke up and another bag of crackers! When Hubby got home at 2, he had a Vienna and a bowl of curry carrots! He still ate dinner that night! I don’t know where he is putting it!

Turn It Up Tuesday (Weekend Recap)

To be honest, this weekend was....quiet! And photoless L

I was off Friday after having fought a migrane for 5 days. I headed to the doctor for some advice. He first suggested I had bad sleeping posture and needed to move my kids to their own beds! (haha....maybe when Hubby and I are in one house again...>I don’t like being lonely at night!)

Secondly, he suggested I sleep too little, stress too much, drink too much caffeine and need to quit smoking (yes, although I strive to be healthy....smoking is a vice I am battling to let go! But that is for another post). I laughed at him and told him our classic family joke “I drink coffee so I can smoke so I can stress less and go to sleep!” Of course that is just something we always say when challenged about our “unhealthy habits.”

Easter Weekend and some Hubby Time

It was a super long weekend here by us...leading us into a short work week (whoo hoo) and another long weekend and another short work week! LoL So, you can imagine how BUSY we have been!

Weekend Update and Prayer Request

Hi peeps! So our long weekend is over! I spoke last week about how I really needed to use this weekend to try some different parenting approaches and refocus our family. To be honest, it was a 50/50 weekend! I really worked hard with Lil Mister and the toilet. He did ah-mazing until last night. Of course, he had to bring my spirits down by giving me something to clean!

Otherwise....

LJ decided he was cold and spent some time in the warmer! Don't worry it wasn't on!

Monday's Weekend Recap

Hey peeps! We spent another amazing day at our favorite camping place this weekend!Sorry, but there really isn't much to say!

Weekend Recap: Rugby Time

Hey peeps! How was your weekend??

Ours was restful for a change! Genuinely.....we truly liked not having a whole lot to do! Normally, weekends are spent going here or there or meeting with these people and those friends and well, I felt completely renewed just having some family time....and a little rugby action! ;-)

I know Friday was Valentines Day but we spent it as a family! It was wonderful and complete with Friday night family bed in the lounge....I think we were all asleep before 9pm! ;-)

Sorry for the bad cell phone quality....but the boys were just so cute here!

What You Missed week 7

Hi peeps! Another week is done and dusted! And honestly it's been very exciting for us! 

We spent last weekend at Ma's and it was relaxing and a nice break! The boys had so much fun exploring the new creche and of course stayed up WAY past bedtime each night! 

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! 

Weekend Recap: Part 2: Sunday School Picnic

Did I mention that this weekend kicked my cabootie? Well, it did! I did tell yall about the awesome concert we went to Friday night and how much fun we had.

What did I learn? That I can’t consider an easy night a few drinks anymore. And literally, I mean a few....it was too much! Used to, that amount would have never affected me. But it’s true what they say about your tolerance lowering if you aren’t exposed.

I really though I was within boundaries because I’m not a big fan of over doing it. I don’t believe it is right. I believe that God frowns upon it.

However, I misjudged and I paid for it Saturday morning. And believe me...I asked God for his forgiveness immediately. It’s also at the top of my list to remain to my rule of two glasses and finished!

A Weekend Update: Part 1: A Concert

Oh, you read that right peeps. This weekend update will be coming to you in segments. Why?

Well, firstly because I was a picture taking fool and do not want to bombard you with all of them at once. You must be given the opportunity to appreciate my mediocre photography skills.

And because we were ridiculously busy!

I had said over and over again....that I needed a weekend by the house. A weekend where I don't need to go to the grocery store, and no one was coming over. A weekend where we didn't have plans to go anywhere and that I could focus on the kids and cleaning!

Because we're blessed and a Weekend Recap

Hi, peeps! How was your weekend? Lekker I hope! Ours was busy and restful and full of excitement!

Hubby and I hanging out looking at everything we wish we could buy lol

We’ve been so blessed over the last year....it’s actually hard for even us to believe. And sure enough, through consistent prayer to have our lives fall in line with God’s will, we have been assured that we will be going to Durban to visit our Grandparents later this month! God is truly amazing! Finances were a little bit tight and our original plans had fallen through. We were praying hard for God to provide us a way...and if everything goes smoothly, that path has been laid. So...the countdown begins!
