WoW, I havent " Blogged" about anything in a very long time. 

So here is a little update on what has happened in my life thus far :) 

 My baby boy is 6 years old already. I cannot believe how times has flown by. So much has happened. He has lost his first tooth
( hand over mouth )

I am so proud of him. He is such a sweet, caring, helpful boy. He has his moods, dont think for a second he is an angel. But gosh do I love him. And I am so grateful that I get to be present in his life.

We have recently adopted a puppy from the SPCA, we named him Chase :) He is more or less 3 years old and has become a part of our family. He reminds me a lot of my son. Such a sweet little pooch.

I have also started my own business  🎉

I decided to name it Living Young, because that is what my products are all about. 

Keeping you younger for longer 💙

My little Picasso

Since I can remember, Quade had a love for drawing. Must be all those days I sat on the carpet with him drawing everything he asked me to.

His  Iron man

March 2014

This is how time FLIES!

Wow I cant believe its been 3 years since ive last blogged. How time flies. So much has happened in my life.

First of all, my baby boy has grown up before my eyes. There isn't a day that goes by, that I dont wish I had those days back. Sure I have taken millions of photo's and videos, but it still doesn't fill that empty hole.

I guess I just miss those little cuddles and kisses.

So to fill in the gaps:
2011
He had his 1st Birthday. Very windy day.
He had so much fun. Was pooped by the end of the day.

2012

He had his second birthday. The weather wasn't as nice as on his 1st Birthday. Was overcast and drizzling. But he had fun and was spoilt once again.

2013
He started school - Playgroup at Umhlanga College. I am so proud of him for being so brave and excited.

The school offered Playball - which I thought I'de let him try out as he is such an active little man. 

He also joined Bike Riding. At first he took his green JD Bug, but with Ian Wilson's help, we managed to get him on his Big Boy Bike. It took him a couple months to get use to it, but once he got the hang of it - oh boy there is no stopping him now!

He also turned 3. His class had a Birthday ring for him. Mommy, Daddy and Family were invited. He was very shy at first but listened to his teacher. Was very strange for me to see, because for the last 2 years I was about the only person he WOULD listen to. Nowadays, his teacher is the only person he WILL listen to :( 

I had so much fun planning his birthday party this year - He just loves SUPERHERO'S, so this is the theme I went for. I didn't want to use one specific SUPERHERO as he likes all of them, and I can have so much fun with it later on. He had a blast with all his friends. 

I am so so very proud of you my boy. You have come a long way, and have grown into such an amazing boy. I am one lucky Mommy to have you. I hope you will realize when you are older that everything I've done, I've done out of love for you. I have had so much fun with you, watching you go through every milestone, helping you along, and most of all JUST BEING THERE!! 

2014

My little Playgroup boy started Grade 000

WOW, what a change. Such a boy. He has made new friends, taking part in new activities and just loving school.

Because he is so good on his bike, I thought we would give Bike riding a miss this year and try something new. So this year we have started Karate. 

I Wish That I Could Wrap Up Christmas
I wish that I could wrap up all the love and Holiday cheer
That comes along with Christmas and with New Year's every year,
Pack it in a pretty box and put it on my shelf
And pull it down again each year and give it to myself.

Mothersday

 Happy Mothersday!! This is my first Mothersday and I am so blessed to have such a perfect son. I love him to bits.

 Before I was a Mom -I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom -I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom -I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life
so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom -I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much

Ideas for my baba's 1st Birthday Party

Birthday Prezzie Idea!!

Baby's Memory Book: Another idea is to invite all of your party guests to write a memory of your baby's first year, or a blessing for the baby. Take a picture of each guest at the party with your child, and combine the words and photos to create a simple but memorable birthday present - a baby scrapbook!
