via Daily Prompt: Crisp It feels like I haven’t blogged in ages – I guess that’s what you get when life happens 😊. I was feeling immensely guilty for not getting around to it, but I needed to prioritise with everything that is happening in my life right now. I started my new job on 1… Continue reading Snow Capped Mountains, A Crisp Winter Morning & Fun In The Snow
You wake up one morning and you just know. You have to get out of town. You have to go some place far away. To think. To breathe. To slow down. I know most of you know what I am talking about … This is how we’ve felt for some time now. The year is well on… Continue reading Adventures In The Karoo
Stellenbosch is one of our favourite towns to visit. Filled with rich history, old Cape Dutch style buildings (which we absolutely love) and a laid-back vibe that I crave for every now and then. Everything seems a little bit slower there. The people there have mastered the “no rushing” thing, something I can definitely do… Continue reading Stellenbosch University Botanical Gardens – A Little Hidden Gem In The Heart Of So Much History!
Shoo, it feels like I haven’t written in ages. Truth be told, for almost the entire month of March, all my time was spent preparing for an exam (required by law) for my work. This took up a huge amount of my time and energy seeing that I only gave myself a month before… Continue reading A Roaring Campfire And Marshmallow Treats – Our Camping Weekend Breakaway
Coffee, snacks, CDs (the likes of Phil Collins and UB40), my latest read – I Can See Clearly Now by Dr Wayne Dyer, magazines (none of them were even briefly touched!), binoculars and most importantly – A happy heart! These were all the things we packed into our car at about 7am one Saturday morning a few weeks… Continue reading Road Trippin’ to Palmiet – Freedom for the Soul
via Daily Prompt: Clean Yesterday, you had a major argument with your partner. You both said some things you wish you hadn’t. You wish that you had just thought before you acted out in such a horrible way. You know that once something is said, it cannot be taken back. You wish you could take it back, but… Continue reading Start Everyday With A Clean Slate
via Photo Challenge: A Good Match The weekend past, Noel and I caught up with some friends whom we haven’t seen in a while. With the perfect summer weather and both couples’ love for the winelands, we saw it fit that we catch up over a picnic at one of the wine estates in Stellenbosch. Stellenrust Wine Estate… Continue reading Good Wine, Good Food and Awesome Company – Definitely A Good Match
2017 is in full swing. It literally feels as if we went straight from New Year to Mad Year because it feels like the working year never ended in 2016! Noel didn’t have much of a break at the end of year because his colleagues had also taken time off, so he only had the week… Continue reading Why small getaways throughout the year, are far better than one big one at year end
The weekend past, Noel and I went away on a minivacay to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It was a bummer that the day of love fell on a week day, but there is always a work around, isn’t there? We both love the ocean, so it was a given that the place we would stay at,… Continue reading Valentine’s Coastal Getaway
When I started my blog in September last year, the purpose was to be real and speak about things that people today are too afraid to say. I wanted to write posts based on real life experiences knowing someone out there – even if it was just ONE person – could relate to the message.… Continue reading Disappointment and Gratitude – Two Sides Of The Same Coin
