• In Love: PrintWild Canvases

      I am a photo person. My walls are peppered with photos – big, large and small. I love the story they tell. The memories attached to each. Time captured in a frame. I think there is something lost in the age of digital media. Our children will never know the joy of taking a… [Continue Reading]

  • A Life Update

      How strange it feels to sit with my fingers resting on keys again. Hello. It’s been awhile.   I thought I’d give you a little update. I’m not sure if this is hello again. Or goodbye. The truth is, I don’t know much anymore. So many things feel uncertain. And trying to figure things… [Continue Reading]

    A Life Update
  • Highgate Boutique Hotel

      Some people aren’t ones for celebration. When birthdays roll around, they really couldn’t care if they get a call or a box of chocolates. Some people forget the day their lives changed when they committed to love another for the rest of their lives with an ā€œI do!ā€   And maybe more than a… [Continue Reading]

  • A Happy, New Year?

      Have you found that your social media posts and email inboxes have been flooded with ā€œNew Year, New Youā€ posts or hacks on how to create new habits. Planners fill the shelves at shops or the side tabs of pop-up adverts. When the first days of January hit, many of us spring into organisation… [Continue Reading]

    A Happy, New Year?
  • The Weary World Rejoices

      Anticipating Christmas and the season has always taken up a lot of mental space. When I was a child, I’d start planning from July and would start secretly stashing things away in a cupboard. I held steadfastly to every tradition we had ever started and was incensed when my mom changed the coloured lights… [Continue Reading]

  • Made to Need You

      I cried when I watched a performance in Night of the Proms. I think it was Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. The voices of hundreds filled the Royal Albert Hall. A throng, shoulder-to-shoulder in Hyde Park. All voices lifted. Cares set aside for an evening. Everyone just singing together and having a marvellous… [Continue Reading]

  • The Day We Won’t Forget

      I wasn’t at home that day. My mom was obviously working late and had been unable to fetch us from school. My dad was about five hours away at a conference. We had been picked up by a family friend. Going to her house was always fun! There was a lovely garden to play… [Continue Reading]

  • My Unseen Addiction

      People fascinate me. And I just love them. I am an extrovert. I thrive on being around people. In fact, when I moved out of my parents’ house, I couldn’t handle the silence when I came home from work. I used to turn the T.V. on for some “company.” I didn’t watch anything –… [Continue Reading]

  • Riots in Durban

      I have been waiting until I find the right words before posting anything about the week we have just endured. I’m still waiting, I’m worried that I have lost the ability to transfer thoughts to words as I’m just a swirl of emotions contained in a human exterior. So now I’m just going to… [Continue Reading]

  • Meet Ros

      Ros and I connected over Instagram.Ā  With a handle like “This Higgeldy Piggeldy Life,” how could I not notice her?!? We realised we grew up in a similar neighbourhood. Ros’ account brings me so much joy! She documents the raw, real moments of life that we can all relate to such as burning rice… [Continue Reading]
