A bit of History

By
My name is Niki and I am 33 years old.  I have been married to Gerhard for the past 4 years and we have a beautiful boy named Liam.  Liam is 2 and a half years old.  I am also 24 weeks pregnant with Luka.  Gerhard and I always knew that we would get married and have a boy named Liam and a girl named Luka...

We have known each other since primary school and we have been dating since high school.  We know everything that there is to know about each other and we have a perfect life - or as near to perfect as it will ever get!

I am an admitted advocate by trade, but I have always had a passion for the written word.  Before starting my studies, I was convinced that I needed to study journalism or do a BA in Afrikaans, my dad somehow convinced me to rather go abroad for a year and think long and hard about all of this, which I did.  Somehow I studied law and I have been very successful in this venture, however, something has always been missing, and that is why after many years of not writing anything, I decided to start a blog...

I plan on telling you all about our little family and our daily ups and downs...even if this is just for my own record keeping purposes and to show the kids one day.  

Well, let me go and earn my keep, will start with this is all earnest tomorrow.

I had a stunning Louis Vuiton Bag

By
I love handbags, I am crazy about them, I would forgo food for a good handbag.  Everybody has a 'thing' and mine simply happens to be handbags.  Big ones, small ones, madly expensive ones and el cheapos that you get at the flea market, grey ones hand crafted by old ladies at the old age home, shiny metally ones.  I love handbags. Well guess what?  No, not that Guess, not as in the handbag...I now have a diaper bag.  A red one, and it needs to double as my handbag.  There is just no way in hell that I can manage a two (almost three!) year old, a two week old, a diaper bag and a handbag, something had to give and in this case, it was my poor almost new chunky Louis Vuiton bag.  I miss it already... The thing is, when you have a baby, some things are just not meant to be. At least this time around, I have managed to paint my nails (all of them, fingers and toes) twice, and I have worn make up on at least four separate occasions.  With Liam a...

My new obsession...

By
So why did it take me 36 years to finally find MAC make up.  I am in love, I think I love my new make up more than shoes, and that is a bold statement coming from me, the ultimate shoe addict. Let me start at the beginning.  There is nothing that intimidates the average woman more than any one of the beauticians working at any one of the counters in your department store.   Clinique ladies are mean, always using mirrors and lights similar to the lights used in operating theatres to show you things like enlarged pores, well of course the pores are enlarged Hun, you just put like a million candlelight power worth of light on there.   At this point my nostrils must be spectacular.   And lets face it, despite global warming, we are nowhere near that levels of magnification or lighting here on good old mother earth.  My two year old will have enlarged pores under those conditions!   In the end, despite telling the Clinique girl that you are an ar...

On the eve of my first protest

By
It is the eve of my first ever protest about anything really.  I am a little scared, a little excited, a little apprehensive but extremely motivated.  For those not following South African politics, our President last week fired our honest Minister of Finance and the South African economy took a tumble and we were downgraded to junk status by ratings agencies. Economic and political uncertainty ensued all because of one man’s greed and corruption.  Junk status has dire implications for our country and as always the people who will be most affected are the poorest of the poor.  Interest rates will rise, so will inflation and food prices, jobs will be lost, the list of horrible things goes on. Ordinary South Africans have now had enough and for the first time ever people from all walks of life are united behind a common cause, to save South Africa.  I have never in my 40 years on this earth been moved by any cause, not enough to actually take...
