Easter weekend adventures

I remember the days when Easter weekend was all about the party and drinking and hangovers and sleeping all day just to recoop to go to the next party. Now I can hardly drink a few Savanana's and when I think about the amount of alcohol I used to consume I'm shocked I am still alive!

Now My Easter weekends are filled with family, and outings to Rietvlei Farm, picnicing in our backyard, braais and cuddles while watching Disney movies...and I love it.

It was a chilled relaxed weekend and Aiden had some great days, he had his first pony ride, went to a petty zoo, jumping castles, face painting, seeing a plane show and watching soccer live to his very first proper Easter egg hunt. When that boy is happy, I am happy!

A weekend away at Monateng

Last weekend Brad and I got a much needed weekend away at Monateng Safari Lodge, 3 whole nights and 2 days of not being a mommy, of only doing what I wanted to do, it was pure bliss. It included a lot of sleeping, lots of wine and lots of good food and lazing about.

Monateng is just outside Pretoria so not far out to drive for the weekend and the service is great, every one greets you with a smile and always eager to help. Chalets are lovely and someone comes to clean it every morning. Lots to do if you have older children, with a pool and trampolines, and jumping castles and put put and so on and so on, for little kids not to much, you will be doing a lot of running around.

We did a game drive (not my thing, but Brad really wanted to go) and on Sundays the restaurant has an amazing special, 3 course lunch for R100.

All in all it was a great weekend and much needed time just for the two of us, we don't get much of that with wee Aiden running around.

It's my birthday and this year I have a list!

It's my birthday at the end of the month and seeing as the wallet has been empty of late I have a list of what I want for my birthday this year, normally I struggle with thinking of what I want but this year is super easy as at the moment conditioner is a luxury.

My wish list

A 250gram voucher, if you don't know what this is they are this awesome little company that prints your Instagram photo's and everyone knows how much I am a happy snapper.

A Mr Price voucher, why coz winter is approaching and I need clothes, I always need clothes and I never get to buy myself clothes any more :( I NEED clothes, it's a problem really, I know people don't like the voucher thing so these are some pieces I really like.

 

 

 

 

Garnier BB Cream so I can stop stealing my moms and sisters, they going to start to notice.

A digital scale because I have just joined the A New Weigh 12 week challenge and no I don't actually own a scale, I measure my fat according to the tightness of my clothes.

And that's it really, I know it's short and maybe a little boring but that's what I want.

Oh and if any one wins the lotto flights for my boy and I to Cape Town :) just saying!
