The first Year I haven’t said much here about Caris’ first year of playschool, for no other reason than not particularly having much time (or inspiration) to blog at all. But now that the year is done and dusted, I feel the need to reflect on what was an incredible year. On the one hand, …

I'm definitely not superstitious, but I'm starting to think that there is something to this "unlucky number thirteen" thing. In a lot of respects 2013 was indeed a pretty unlucky year. There were many health challenges in my close family / friends. My dad was hospitalized in ICU for over a week with pneumonia and …

My initial thought was "Holy cow, how the hell am I going to make an Aquarium cake, yet alone host an under the sea party!" Living in land-locked Jozi, means there aren't any aquariums readily available, …
