Cell phones are dangerous

 I need to tell you that  I love my husband dearly even when he does a silly thing and I can not judge him as I do as well. The story begins with him going to a bachelors party. Yes that is fine, bachelor parties happen and they are a way of life, but that is not my story. He survives the morning white water rafting and finishes with his face on his head. A few drinks later (not that many, he was not off his head yet -as it was early evening), whilst giving directions on his cell phone, he manages to stub his toe on a rock and without even a moment to protect his face fall face down and has a romantic kiss with a boulder. The result, besides me laughing, is a very-sorry-for-himself husband with scratches, black eyes and the doctor confirmed a broken nose. His face was scratched and bruised and so was his ego.
I asked him if the guy were nice to him and his reply was " of course, they said  ag shame, sit here, let me see if I can help you" his response was obviously dripping in sarcasm. Guys and Girls are so different aren't they.

The wedding was exactly a week later and he recovered quite nicely, well as nicely as one can!  I did what any good wife would do I made sure I was not in many photos with him.

My artistic impression on Kevin's face and I think my drawing makes him looks kinda sweet :)

When writing this blog, I have to bear in mind that there is a fine line between keeping it real but keeping it a bit tidy. Tidy? yes Tidy? for you uncool fold keeping it Clean...

You see my husband reads my blog, I feel that this puts me in a serious CONUNDRUM*, I therefore have to count to 10 when he annoys me beyond belief, all I want to do is run to the blog and write and let the world know (obviously I have the world following me on the blog), so yes I do want to write about why I am annoyed and why I am RIGHT!...I begrudgingly hold my breath and do not say I thing which is just so boring.

Since having Bebe ,A we have had the problem of trying to find the sexy, sparkly times together and as much as much as you think it won't happen to you, it does! What I mean is the simple things like sending " I love you" messages, or I am thinking of you, even a simple smiley face letting the other person know you are thinking of them, sweet gestures and there really is no excuse as we have so many different mediums available to make this possible. It sounds so simple yet becomes just way too much admin - it shouldn't be admin I know. I think about it and the intentions are there but you have heard the saying "the road to hell is paved in good intentions"

We preserver in finding the time for a coffee and date night but this has brought us to a new adventure of finding fun things to do around Johannesburg so our first place we recently went to on a Sunday Brunch Time was called Bamboo in Melville.

It is a centre with a few stores. Upstairs @ Bamboo is the art gallery a bit tricky with a stroller. After which we shared a sandwich and coffee. I managed to buy some books for Bebe A but due to the spending glee in my eye my husband said "home time" I definitely would go back as there is a toy store opening soon that needs my attention and a few other shops.  What I really want to go back for is their farmers market, I envision myself being posh and getting back to nature.
The address for Bamboo is:
 53 Rustenburg Road Melville,
Farmer Market is each and every Saturday
8h00-13h00

 OK better go the baby is crying... possibly cos I am late in feeding her. Such a bad mom :)

Milestones or guidelines

My not so baby brother graduates from Varsity in the UK. This is very exciting for us all as a family. The excitement is "road-trip" and not the relief that my brother actually passes. Planning has been fun to a degree to think Bebe A is going to be a year old when we travel. Wow I cant even imagine that so many milestones to reach till we get there, sitting, feeding, crawling and so on and so on. I really do try not to wish her little life away especially as, my little hippy child is pretty chilled at reaching her milestones.

I personally think milestones can be a stressful for a mommy. I do use it as a guideline and find it quite useful, but I will not get stressed about it (and boy can I get stressed), as one of my friends recently told me the kids all get to where they need to be eventually - that "Piece" or should I say "Peace" of advice just made sense.

I cannot believe my baby is going to be 5 months old on Saturday and shoo is she loving the sound of her voice, big conversations are had by anyone willing to even look at her direction. I on the other hand am gearing up to starting the next stage of mommyhood - "feeding the bebe" yes I have a month left but my little one is hungry and that is just on formula.
