The Face Under the Hats

Glad you’re here! I’m Kate. I am not super woman (although I’d like to be!) and I’m far from having it all together! You won’t find a made-up mommy with an immaculate home! I’m just a regular woman around 30 who loves to write. You’ll find my messy and honest thoughts on motherhood, marriage and life as well as the expectations that drown us as women to multi-task. Being a wife, mom, friend, mentor, and house keeper and aiming to do it all well (not just falling over the finish line in pure exhaustion each day) is enough to put anyone in a mad house! So this is just a bit of how I try (and fail regularly!) to wear all the hats!

My husband and I met at a very new, very small school. He was dubbed “The Babe Magnet” and I was the naive principal’s daughter. Long story short, “Babe Magnet” fell for principal’s daughter. We started dating his first year out of school when I was 15 and got married 7 years later.

Our married life has seen an whirlwind overseas trip 3 months after our wedding, moving house 3 times in a year, building our home from the ground up and multiple jobs.

We have two beautiful girls – a chatty, well-spoken toddler and a cute but colicky baby. Some days are filled with laughter and coos. Others are weighed with tears and tantrums.

We live in a house that is way to big for the four of us with our cat and a small chocolate stash.

Today is Husband Appreciation Day! So I thought it Today is Husband Appreciation Day! So I thought it apt to post the speech I gave on our wedding day. He is one of a kind! A man who does more than is asked. A man who serves his family every day. A man who dotes on all three of his girls. And a man who has loved me unconditionally since we started our relationship 16 years ago! 

I love you, my Love!

I have an obsession that many of you don't know ab I have an obsession that many of you don't know about. 
I think it's pretty clear from the photo! 
I LOVED learning about the Titanic as a child! Flip, at one stage I knew how many rivets the ship had!
In recent years, I've forgotten a lot of the important details, but it continues to fascinate me!
I was really sad to miss the artifacts exhibition in SA a few years ago. 

Today marks the 109th year since the "unsinkable" ship sunk in the Atlantic after hitting an iceberg on her maiden voyage. There were 2435 passengers on board excluding crew. 
Over 1500 people died that night.
Only 705 people survived!
There were not enough lifeboats because it "made the deck look too crowded!"
It was a maritime disaster like no other!
After the tragedy, every ship had to have enough lifeboats to carry ALL passengers on board. 

Today is Titanic Rememberance Day.

Just because we have a cute story doesn't mean it' Just because we have a cute story doesn't mean it's easy. The first year of marriage, the one everyone says is hard, that was easy! But since then, we started adulting. That puts strain on a marriage. The butterflies are gone. But our love is deeper. It still requires an everyday commitment!
