4.  Skimming Stones

My name is Ursula but friends and family call me Sula.  I am a South African woman born in 1968.   I love reading, writing, nature, travel, baking, poetry, music and life.  Some of my work has been published: journal extracts in the South African anthology “Glass Jars Among Trees”, Fair Lady magazine and poetry in a few anthologies.  My dream is to see my children’s book ‘Snuffles & the Cloud People’ published; this was illustrated by my mum.  In 1996 I founded LiPS (The Durban Live Poets Society) which continues to thrive with a life of its own since I left Natal in 2000. I grew up in a creative environment: my Mum is an award winning artist and my Dad is a photographer.  I am married (for the 2nd time) and have 4 children born in 89, 91, 07 & 10.  After more than 20 years working in a corporate environment I gave up work to be at home with my children.

6.  The Mom Diaries

The mom diaries is a blog about raising two little boys and all the mess in between. Like the name states it is a way I as a mom can record all my stories of motherhood : The things my kids teach me and the journey motherhood has taken me on. It’s all a way of connecting with other moms who are are going through similar things and who are looking for a place to commiserate over all the crazy stuff motherhood throws at us.

I was doing a lesson on Isaac Newton and these quo 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 @y 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!

What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssb What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssbynella. Not only did she make me bold enough to go for gel, she also fixed a broken nail. It's a lovely space and very close to my house. 
Plus she gave me water and pretzels! And a little gift afterwards with a Loyalty card.

Self care is all it's cracked up to be.

Take some time to look after yourself. You need it. 

Tell me something you did for yourself this week?

I've just come from the dentist and it was awful b I've just come from the dentist and it was awful but now afterwards not so bad! Glad I took the rest of the day off though.

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it. 

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.
