So Fysh has been a little grumpy and under the weather, definitely not himself and I thought maybe it was just because he's had a bit much sun (he's been in the pool from sunup to sundown everyday since summer reared her ugly head in the mother city.  Turns out he has chicken pox or "Chickenpops" as he calls it. Poor dude has little itchy blisters all over and they keep cropping up. Thankfully he has been very good in not scratching them and the only one that seems...

When your whole world shatters and time stands still, recovery is never easy. Plans and dreams, ripped apart now seem impossible and finding a steady rhythm for your beating heart seems unattainable. Cole Tierney and Grace Rivers had a bright, uncomplicated future ahead of them, but the accident changed that. In the aftermath, there are wide reaching consequences, not only for Cole and Grace, but their loved ones too. Only together can they battle to survive the impact. Is it enough for them to heal and fight for their future? With...

Grace Rivers is your everyday twenty-five year old. She could have the world at her feet, but instead chooses to help run the family business. After experiencing great loss early in her life, Grace values what's most important: her family and friends. But she aches to find that certain someone—that one great, passionate love who values family as much as she does. Cole Tierney loves his life. He has a wonderful family, a loyal best friend and a successful career as an ER doctor. The only downside is he...

There are moments where I just want to sit and cry because I can't give Fysh everything he wants and I guess I now know how my own mama felt when we were little and she was raising us alone. I feel like a failure and like no matter how hard I try life just keeps knocking me down at the knees. He's not a kid that asks for everything and then throws a tantrum if I say no, he simply says "okay, next time" and that's gut wrenching...

My "baby" graduated grade R today! It really blows my mind how quickly time passes us by. It sometimes feels like eons ago that I had him but mostly because my unmedicated years are kinda blank and I mostly only remember things cause of photos or posts I've written (yeah, kinda harsh not remember the first two years of your kids life) but at the same time I think back to the moments I do remember, holding this 33 week old 1.7kg crying thing that had to wear special...

"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it." — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I've followed this girl on instagram for a while now, I think I started following her through someone else when I was looking for other people with BPD to follow when I was diagnosed, so it's been a while now. When I "met" Megs she was committed in a ward and it was really interesting learning about ward life, she'd jumped out a...

I found these AMAZING lalylala by Lydia Tresselt on Ravelry a while back and have been dying to make them so I've decided that I'll take 3 orders for any which one you decide on, they're made from organic cotton and made by hand. R650 each and it'll be couriered to you in time for the big day. But here's the catch. If you want it in time for the 24/25 then you have to place your order and make payment this week so that by the weekend I'm...

Fysh is hilarious, I mean seriously. This kid is fucking awesome. So we have this thing where I squish his bum, I've done it since he was little and it's become our thing, it might be weird but hey. We have rules though, actually HE has rules. "My body my rules" which of course makes me so proud cause at least I know he won't let anyone do anything without a fight but we do play argue about it and I respond with "No, I made you so your...

  Right, so many a person has asked me where I get my hair done, the answer used to be StyleBar but when I decided to go blue those lovely trips stopped as they don't do fun colours so I had two choices; either find another salon or just do it myself. I got a quote on R1600 to do my hair...

I was supposed to post this on Monday already but have been worrying over The Person who's been recovering from tick bite fever (yes it's as horrible and worse as it sounds) so between that and NaNo the blogging took a way side. But I'm here and better late than never. Enticed (book 1) was my very first audio book, it broke my virginity and I'm so happy it was my first cause it was beautiful. I frigging loved it, such a different take on the usual vampires and...
