Developing myself one captured moment at a time.

I have been dying to do this post for about a week now, thats what i get when i make something early and have to wait to first give it to people before posting it. But was worth it. As i said i love pinterest so much and the ideas one can find there is amazing. When i saw this idea i wanted to do it straight away. Who all remembers their Easter childhood search in the gardens and Sugar rush for days.... Was Amazing, how smart where our parents? I remember the one Easter hunt we had on the farm with my Nonno and Nonna, My Nonno saying he got a letter from the Easter bunny telling him where all the eggs are hidden for clues, and I just though OMW how cool my Nonno knows the Easter bunny. So we havent done something special like that in a while as no one is really kids in the house any more and sadly we cant take a random kid from the street and say search the garden for eggs, weird..... So seeing as its Leroy's family tradition to still give each other eggs me being m

So its getting really close to single digit count down and if you were wondering ( yes you Leroy) I have not packed yet. WHAT???? No thats next weekends work full on sort throw and pack mode then so no stress ( who am i kidding right ahaha) So i havent posted a normal update blog in a while and thought why not lets get started: whats happened so far. I have been spending some weekends at my house in Kinross and some here in Kriel, I really dont like living out my bag in my own house i feel more like a guest than anything else. and then after a weekend to leave is the worst it gets harder. The house is really looking good and showing it off is so amazing you feel so proud and amazing when people give positive compliments about it.... We gave our mothers their Mothers Day invites..... Cant give too much away there but its a lunch for them something to make them feel special and all glad they both loved the invite (message in a bottle) and they excited i have a lot of ideas i

DIY Number 2 This is something for your bathroom or if you have like we do a toilet apart from the bath and not a lot of space to do much then this will work for you. I saw this idea on Pinterest and knew it was something i wanted to do straight away. so here we go hope you enjoy it as it is very straight forward but fun to do and one of a kind. What you will need Any wooden blocks size that you would like we used 14 of them for this Letters Paint, we used dark brown and a lighter one and for the letters silver. also no more nails to stick on the letter to the wood. paint brushes and thats all. You paint your blocks how you want. stick the letters and then put up easy as pie and i really enjoyed making them with Leroy it was a fun craft that we done together for our house. there is just something about house crafts that makes you feel so proud to show it off when you made them yourself. Here is the end result.

Its so unreal that I don’t even know where to start. From the first day we got the courage to ask my dad if we can move in together, to the shocking calm reaction he gave us, to setting a date and doing the count down its come now to the point where we have one month left. So much different emotions are running through me the two mostly is fear and excitement. Fear: I guess of the change that is going to happen. Excitement: Change, being on our own and having our own place. Change is as good as a holiday that say? Its weird to think this will be the last month I am in Kriel, at the house I so to say grew up in. The 22 years I spent in my room making it what it is now, the memories and endless collection of things. Now to be moved over to a new home for new memories with Leroy to be made.   With my dad telling me one morning that he was waiting for me to come home and he realized that soon I would not be doing that. And it hits a person even more…. I am not sad in any way or sc
