Excuse my silence

Excuse my silence

Hi All, Hope everyone excuses my silence this last week, but I’ve been busier than usual the last few day’s. A Mutha’s got to work sometimes too, you know. I have been extremely busy with 2 massive work projects which have been eating up all my time. Not that I’m complaining. 2 new websites in

Top Ten best value for money, wine estate wedding venues in the Western Cape

Top Ten best value for money, wine estate wedding venues in the Western Cape

We all know getting married on a wine estate is, usually the most expensive route, but for many the most desirable route to go when it comes to a wedding venue. I specifically searched for outside Cape Town city itself. After checking out about 100 estates online, downloading all of their wedding package offers and

Mutha's in SA with the DD or larger disorder, this one is for you.

A few years ago, my fiancé asked, ‘What do you want to do for the rest of your life?’,  I replied, ‘I want to own a lingerie store’, he smiled at me, that naughty, boyish grin. I still do want that store, but perhaps I should consider an online version. There is such a massive

What I love about calorie restricted dieting.. the variety

So as you all know  I’m getting married April next year and it’s going to be fabulous! That is of course, if ( and I have convinced myself of this), I reach my goal BMI of 19 or 20. It’s not that far to go really, seeing as I am currently on +-21.6, but those

Cappuccino’s, dress up and fun, fun, fun at the Biscuit Mill!

Cappuccino's, dress up and fun, fun, fun at the Biscuit Mill!

It was midday Saturday when a friend ( Claire) and I decided to meet up for a coffee at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock. I had my daughter and her little friend with me. This was going to be fun! Instead of making the usual B-line for the Saturday market. We decided to stop

Last weekends DIY project

For months I have looked at our old outside table and thought, ‘Don’t worry table, Mutha will come to the rescue, soon’. Not getting around to it though, left me feeling terribly guilty about the poor things state of shabbiness. What I love most about this personal blogging deal, is that it has given me

What to get Geeky, Techy, Gadget Dad for Fathers Day

What to get Geeky, Techy, Gadget Dad for Fathers Day

You’ve seen the lists of possibilities of presents and outings for sporty dads, metro dads and just about every type of dad around, with the strange exclusion of geeky, techy, gadget type dads. It’s a wonder to me that most of the presents suggested range up into thousands of rands. I know from personal experience

What’s in a word..

I recently discovered that I might be a  bit of a pedant when it comes to language. Whenever I land on a page, that happens to contain dialect that isn’t  ‘proper’, I immediately want to close it. Particularly when there are constant misspellings and other language ‘crimes’ decorating every post. My mind screams, ‘You cannot allow

Content is king…

Today seems like a good day for new projects. I’m sanding that outside table down a little later, its going to be beautiful when I am done. Will definitely post before and after shots on Monday. That’s not the only project I’m happy about though. A little more than just happy, I am actually so

Yesterday, the edited version….

This post accidentally  posted itself prematurely last night. I have no idea how.. Perhaps my friend’s child knows a little something about it?Note to self: Do not leave unedited posts open on a laptop where just the touch of a button could create havoc. I woke this morning to Fiance’s new craze, cappuccino’s made with

The Weekly Rave

The Weekly Rave

With so little to complain about I certainly have a lot to rave about, thanks for the blessings to the Big Guy Upstairs: Making it through my daughters first exams alive. Shoo. Glad that’s over now to start studying for the next round. Beautiful shoes, handbags and jewellery. My friend cannot stop raving about the

The Weekly Rant

The fact the ANC is trying to hinder the Western Cape budget from going through as planned. Not surprised that they want to slow down the progress of the only province that has any. Thank you Helen Zille, keep fighting the good fight. We all know the Acronym for ANC is Achieve Nothing Continually. Parents

The Daily Grrrrind

What a lot I got…no, not jelly tots, … things to do.. Today was one of those days where I accomplished much but felt like I got nothing done at all. How do I explain this? Well it started like any other day, except for the fact that I was completely comatose this morning. I

Projects always take longer to complete than expected...The Daily Grind

This weekend was so supposed to be all DIY. Guess I got side tracked a little by the Vivienne Westwood / Jewellery / handbag extravaganza. Who wouldn’t, right? Then there are a few other factors that come into play. If you are ever thinking of reupholstering chairs and think it will not take make longer

Who doesn't love Vivienne Westwood,Melissa shoes,jewellery and handbags?

Wow, wow, wow, this weekend I had the most pleasurable shopping experience of my entire life.  A good friend of mine, Ludivine hosted a one of a kind party at her home on Saturday. Starting at noon, on arrival I received a glass of bubbly, and the table was decked out in sushi and these
