Pic Of The Week – Week 34
| August 31, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
Another week, another bunch of experiences. We returned to Opuwa, a place we lived when I was very young. It was an odd experience, returning to a place I promised myself as a child I’d come back to. I’m glad I did. more
The 40 Hour Famine
| August 25, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Current Events |
The other day I walked into a shop to pick up a few groceries. There was a boy of about eight years old standing outside begging for food. His clothes were filthy, he was covered in dust and his shoes were held together by elastic and tape. I know he wasn’t my child. I know… more

5-Country African Tour: Botswana To Namibia
| August 23, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Around Africa, Travel |
Mozambique really floored me. I left there, and shed a tear. I shed a tear for a place I had spent less than a week in and even now a week later, I find it difficult to really capture what I felt there. Over the next few days we travelled back through South Africa, then… more

Mozambique – A Window To Another World
| August 16, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Around Africa, Current Events, Travel |
Mozambique. I’ve never been to it, but always known it as a place for great fish, and beautiful beach holidays, but I knew nothing about the country or it’s people prior to our visit. Mozambique reminds me of the Africa I grew up in. A place where you could walk freely, feel no fear, need… more
Leapfrog Tag Junior Review
| August 15, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews |
I have a slightly different prize up for grabs this week. It’s not wooden, it’s not sustainable, it doesn’t really scream ‘natural’, but it’s a fab little gadget, and one we absolutely love. It’s called the Leapfrog Tag Junior Reading System. As Ameli faces down the barrel of two years old, she’s developed an amazing… more
I have a slightly different prize up for grabs this week. It’s not wooden, it’s not sustainable, it doesn’t really scream ‘natural’, but it’s a fab little gadget, and one we absolutely love. It’s called the Leapfrog Tag Junior Reading System.
As Ameli faces down the barrel of two years old, she’s developed an amazing interest in books, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a tinge of pride when she climbed the stairs and counted them as she went… one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, seven, nine, TEN. Or at least, that’s how it usually goes. We’ve never sat trying to teach her letters or numbers, but I’m certain that the stories we’ve been reading since she was just a few months old have had a part to play.
Now, with number two on the way, I’m aware that I might not always have the time that I’ve had thus far to devote to her, so we thought we’d try this Tag Junior Reading System.
