Life in cartoon form.

Ask Chat GPT to make a caricature of you based on what it knows about you. You'll get a better result if you tell it what you do. The first attempt was slide 2, it thinks I am a doctor. And I never ask it medical questions.

Try it out and see what you get.

After working from my mom's home, I had a new appreciation for my work space.

But I needed to do something different. I needed to turn it around for the light. But the alarm antenna stuck out in the corner.

I was busy doing a blog post on bringing nature into your home and I got inspired to put a green feature there and bring in two flower pots. I also got some baskets to clear the clutter.

You have the power to rewrite your story and create something beautiful.

You just need that push to start.

Consider yourself pushed!

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water but no power. Lastest news is we might have it by Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
I wanted to do laundry today and brought the maid to my mom's house and everything but because it's a cloudy day the solar is only on two dots so we've got to conserve power.

When the city tells you that you're not going to have power for two weeks!

A huge pylon collapsed due to vandalism, wind and rust.

And then your water goes...

You freak out and then you make a plan.
For the first morning, I hot spotted.

Then in the afternoon I went to my mom to teach the rest of my classes.

Since then I have basically moved all my food over to her house and started cooking there as well. I'm also going there to charge everything.

There's no point even using the gas when all the food needs to be kept cold so it needs to be done in one place.

For the water, I now have a system. We flush the toilet with pool water. Wash ourselves and dishes with tank water. And drink from the little tank.

Nicky has also adapted and is enjoying Granny's chairs.

Oh, and I've also been restyling furniture in my study. If the light is in front of me, it is better. I've been dealing with work assessments.

But we can't wait for the lights to come back on and running water.

Until then, I'm super grateful for family.

Where has the time gone? Nicky is going into Grade 7 this year.
How has your first day gone, moms?
Nicky had to walk quite a bit today, lots of cars at the school. But we managed to get all the stationery etc on time.

Happy new school year! I started back on my exercise routine and feeling a lot better.

Hi guys and happy new year!
I hope it will be a good one for you.

Up on the blog I have a new blog post about all the back to school specials. You can get some really cheap school shoes from 99 cents and R75 if you meet certain conditions. So check out the post!

We just spend some really fun few days in East London.

I'm super blessed because although I've lost a husband, I haven't lost his family. And Nicky had a fab time with all the cousins.

"Humbled"

I asked Nicky how he felt after a week of Mzanzi, the interprovincial chess tournament. Nicky played Board 1 for Eastern Cape A team. That meant that he faced the top players in his age category from all over the country.

He won 3 and lost 3 for the team section.

Tuesday was especially brutal. Three rounds in one day (9am, 2pm and 7pm).

He was also not well. Sore throat and coughing. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, missed the team photos and continued on with the individual competition.

The individual one can take up to four hours. Nicky was doing about an average of three.

He won 2 and drew 4. From a starting rank of 6 he ended up 17.

"They don't make any mistakes" he said.

Last night we watched Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise getting himself out of the submarine. I told Nicky that whatever difficult position he finds himself in, he can do it.

He drew the last one.

I'm super proud of him and what he has endured this week. It hasn't been easy. He has tried his best. And, like all the other chess parents, I've sat there and waited.

For me it's not about where he came. It's the joy of the game. While the team prize giving went on, we played in the arcade. After the individual game was done we played in the escape room. (We totally weren't able to escape but it was an experience)

Wherever this chess journey takes him, I will follow and support. And always help him find the joy. ♟️

We went to Playland last night and had a lot of fun!
Nicky was big enough to go on the break dancer this year and I watched him go twice! He also loved that pendulum swing one.
For me, I still love the big wheel the best.

On thing I am thrilled about: they had candy floss this year! Getting Nicky some of that was so cool because we used to do that as a child.

So long, Playland, and thanks for the memories!

We received this delivery of Afrikaans pop up and scratch and sniff books for little kids.

- Wat ruik so? In die huis
- Wat ruik so? Op die plaas
- Jan en die Boontjierank
- Rooikappie en die Wolf

I think if I was a little Afrikaans kid I would love them. Nicky is just having fun sniffing everything. 😂

An event took place on 14 November and I have finally put together a blog post on it.

The Purposefully Influencing Awards honors those who not only influence but do it with an impact.

I watched the video of the event and a few things stood out to me:

🏆 The founder of the event, Pearl Holdstock, shared how she had been influenced by an important woman in her life, and that is why acknowledging these people is important.

🏆Ally won best Homemaking content! Well done, Ally!

🏆 @princessyanja gave us some inspiration and told us that we were stars, and in being ourselves, that is how we shine.

🏆"I am because someone else did not show up." The importance of showing up from @mbalinhlaphoo

🏆Best social media entrepreneur @mbalibezuidenhout shared how making a plan has got her places.

🏆 I'm so proud of @funmammasa Judy! She won best blog. Her hard work has paid off and I appreciate her support as well.

🏆 From best make up content creator @colourme_sim Simphiwe: "If they don't give you a seat at the table, build your own table."

Check out my blog post!

I was doing a lesson on Isaac Newton and these quotes just resonated with me.

We need to build bridges, not walls.

Be brave enough to make that guess.

Sometimes you have to make your own rules.

Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @your_motivationalcoach and @her_mindset_mentor /@millennial_mama_sa

The company was good, the food was the delicious and the insights were flowing.

One thing I took away was this: you must feel enough in yourself before other people think you are.

I also had fun starting a vision board and painting.

We also had a secret Santa swap and I was blown away by @nakita21 's amazing gift. She embellished a notebook, manicure set and cup with the themes of the workshop: dream, design and do.

No more excuses now for me with this powerhouse of inspiration behind me!
