Last week I treated my mum and sister to a day at Karkloof Safari Spa – it was Mumsies birthday and Narn got to come with too because - well she’s awesome!

Most will know me as the hyperactive, go go go, mom, wife, friend who’s always buzzing around at 150%! A spa day is not something that is common for me, but everyone needs a little me time and so, there we were (eeeeeeeeep!)

Fun at Home :)

by Jenna Phillips-Page

There are a GAZILLION reasons why I love living in the Midlands - just look at my instagram account :)... one disadvantage however is the 40km round trip to school everyday, twice a day!

Occasionaly when the weekend comes around I CANNOT get into my car :)!

I thought I'd share some of the fun things we do at home to entertain the kids on these "bound to the house" weekends

Our Midlands Adventures #1

I LOVE holidays, weekends and pretty much anything that has to do with getting to spend good, fun time with my gang ☺.

We love to go away & explore new places... but also spend a lot of time enjoying weekends & activities in the Midlands.

Something Small

by Jenna Phillips-Page

We had a baby.

A beautiful, perfect, baby boy :).

I could go on for HOURS about how it has changed my life, how much love my heart is filled with, how I am completely and utterly in awe of him, my family, my husband, our daughter and this new adventure we are all on! (trying to remember to breathe <3 )

The final stretch

by Jenna Phillips-Page

King Louis, for those of you who arent as Disney educated as my husband, that would be the orangutan from The Jungle Book...

and also my nick name for the past few months :), because what are husbands for - if not blatant honesty!

Lifes Lemons

by Jenna Phillips-Page

After Chris and I got married last year, everyone instantly began to nag about when we were going to have kids - hints were thrown, jokes were made and "so whens the baby coming" was asked more regularly then "how are you". Close friends & family all knew we were ready and didn't want to wait long (forgiven) but during this time I realized how much we involve ourselves in other peoples lives without always considering what may or may not be going on. So many people struggle to have children and its easy to ask "so whens little one coming" without considering what asking that question may feel like to someone having problems?

A friend of mine sent me a slideshow of these pictures a few months ago and I had a giggle but looking back at them now - they could not be funnier!

Lunchbox Idea, week 1

by Jenna Phillips-Page

As promised, lunchbox inspiration for moms that have a day like I do today: work, wash my car, defrost my deep freeze, do groceries, write a blog, clean the house I neglected all weekend, school run, homework, play and probably a bunch of other things my pregnant brain has forgotten already!
