2 Weekends rolled into one

So its been a week since my last post and all I can say is that I have had the most amazing week! Tossed around in a whirlwind of travels - between Jo'burg, Cape Town and Nairobi, Kenya - amongst various cultures and traditions, and yet today I quite comfortably slid right back into my normal day at the office. Like I never left.

I promise to share some visuals on my travels next week, but for today I'm only doing a quick post to say hello and to wish you all a happy weekend! 

What are you up to this weekend? I am looking forward to finally go to the neighbourgoodsmarket, celebrating a friend's birthday, visiting my ouma (grandmother) and to spending time at my home and in my garden.

Wishing you all a happy and sunny weekend! xoxo

The arrow of time

So I am back from a lovely weekend spent in the small town in the Eastern Cape - Cradock. I will post some photos on this trip sometime this week, but as I celebrated my birthday on Saturday last week I have given the topic of growing old and time passing by some thought and when I stumbled onto this very accurate time-line of the Goldberg Family it dawned on me again - time does sometimes go by too fast so we must hold onto and treasure EVERY moment we live!

The arrow of time as captured by Diego Goldberg since 1976

When their son Nicolas started a family of his own in 2008 they continued the tradition!

What an amazing time line! I wonder if I will be able to do something similar? The same headshot taken on the same day every year? Wow, the discipline! This definately takes the concept of the "love-collage" to a whole new level!

The countdown continues

Only 4 more sleeps

Counting down the sleeps

For those of you that know me, you already know that I LOVE birthdays, for those of you that don't you will find out soon enough... As this is my birthday month and week, I've decided to dedicate this week to, well, ME...

Counting down the sleeps is a great way to be in the right spirit all week long, so I've done just this  - made myself a little "count-down-calendar" for the week... yes yes I know I am getting too old for this, but I can't help it!!

Only 5 sleeps to go!!!

Not like I am planning to get myself a birthday cake this year, but if I was I would definitely consider some of these yummy ideas and designs:

Breakfast in bed idea:

Is this 14 layer cake making your mouth water?

A good old fashioned chocolate cake will do just fine!

Rainbow cake? Not so sure about this one.

Red Velvet - YES PLEASE!!
