To Which Self Be True – Finding Balance in Motherhood
| October 28, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
I’ve been thinking a lot about balance over the last few weeks. Balance between my different selves, or the different parts that make up me as a person.

We had some domestic days, some (horrible, terrible mastitis) sick days and a few great days. We went to visit my grand mothers in the Cape – the part of South Africa most of the world has at least heard of more
Where, Why, What Is World Kindness Day?
| October 26, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Current Events |
November 13th is World Kindness Day. Although it’s the first time I have ever heard of World Kindness Day, it has been playing on my mind ever since I did. What is it? Why do we need a kindness day, and what exactly is kindness? When have I experienced kindness, and when last was I… more

Life has been busy. Good, but busy. It’s been filled with visits, trips and appointments. And luxury – hair cut, massage, pedicure, to name a few. more
Settling In, Settling Down
| October 16, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Around Africa, Travel |
I’ve had so many thoughts swimming around my head in recent days. I want to write about so much, but somehow I can’t get the link between my brain and my fingers to work, so no matter how often I write something, I end up giving up half way. I seem to lose my train… more

I finally have a full week of pictures. It’s been a while! But then, it’s been a full week. As I write this a week behind, I am sitting in a shady spot, avoiding the African sun, listening to birds chirp and drinking in the peace of the small farm I am visiting with my… more
Kodak Pulse Digital Photo Frame Review & Giveaway
| October 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews, Top Picks |
Okay, so this technically has nothing to do with parenting, specifically, and I’ll admit to that. It does, however, have to do with another hobby of mine: photography. Or more specifically, with the viewing of photographs. more

As if I don’t have enough going on in my life at the moment, I am also having computer problems! For some reason my computer won’t read most of my memory cards suddenly, meaning I’m having a real struggle getting any photos off them. We are saying a lot of goodbyes at the moment as… more
Dear Ameli- Letter to a One Year Old
| October 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli Happy Birthday little girl! You are a year old! Last year, round about this time, we were waking up from our first sleep – you were nestled in the nook of my arm, where you slept comfortably for months. You had been in this world for less than four hours. My little miracle,… more

You may have noticed that there has been a distinctly fewer than usual number of posts over the last two weeks. Unfortunately, this is set to continue a little while longer. You see, things are changing at a rather alarming rate in my life. (Don’t worry, this isn’t just a post about me not posting!)… more
You may have noticed that there has been a distinctly fewer than usual number of posts over the last two weeks. Unfortunately, this is set to continue a little while longer. You see, things are changing at a rather alarming rate in my life. (Don’t worry, this isn’t just a post about me not posting!)
As I mentioned when I wrote about my memories, we are moving house. Not only are we moving out of this one, but all our things are moving into storage, minus the things we’re taking with us for the six months we’ll be living abroad.
