Being a stepmom

Being a stepmom If you think being a mom is hard, wait till you have to be a stepmom.  Before I got married I didn’t for one second think it would be a challenge but boy it is. I am very blessed that I am stepmom to an amazing little girl, she is raised with amazing manners and she is always so helpful. From day one I told her to call me Carina, she tried really hard but with her good manners I always ended up being Tannie Carina, not a fan of the Tannie word, but coming from her I don’t mind it. The hard part comes in to always be fair towards all the children although your heart sometimes wants to choose sides.  It is also hard when the rules, morals and expectation are diffirent in the two homes. Dinnique loves her mother very much, I could never replace her.  She always tells me how beautiful her mom is and I find it so cute. Obviously her mom speaks very badly of me (which is understandable) , I try to be the better person and only speak good of h...

Me and the girls

We are going to have so much fun over the holiday, going to the farm. I got the girls the most amazing Frozen dolls, they are going to love it. Family means everything to me and spending time with all the kids are going to be great.

Update: my 5

We just love shocking people by telling them we have 5 kids. Some call us brave, I say we are blessed Our little top model Dinnique is going to gr R next year, she has so much charisma and elegance,  she totally belongs on the stage and the sports field Cara-Mia will be starting gr RR here at home with mom, where she belongs. Love seeing how much she is like me, always thinking outside the box and being unique. Ciane just turned two and is shocking every one not only by how well he speaks but also with the fact that he speaks both English and Afrikaans. He is such a little learner and loves his books. Carmin is kn the verge of walking which is so cute, she is such a little explorer. She is so beautiful and always makes us laugh Little unknown inside is growing nicely, birth junkie mom is already exited for the birth. Dinnique and Cara-Mia says its their turn to catch babe, Carie is used to it but it will be a first for Dinnique Actually can't explain how one heart can be so ...

so awesome ...

My blog is so awesome that even when people don't have time to read it they send others to read for them and then repport back ... I love freedom of speech, if you don't like what i write don't read my blog. I'll refrain from using names but luckily if the shoe fits they'll know the post is about them .... Lucky for me no one ever reads my blog (wink wink)

And we have a bump ...

How amazing were we created?! I really do serve an awesome God It is so amazing to feel this tiny human moving inside me. Every now and then letting mommy know that he is alive and well. At 16 weeks my uterus is measuring exactly 16cm ... how cool is that. Can't wait to hold you in my arms

Brag post .... my twee groot girls

Dit is so n joy om die twee se mamma te wees, hul maak als die moeite werd. Kannie wag tot Dinnique eendag by ons kom bly nie .... sy is so gelukkig hier. Sy en Cara-Mia is beste maaitjies

My borsvoed journey

As iemand anders terug kyk op my lewe sou hulle seker se dat borsvoed die obvious keuse vir my was.  My ma is al amper 30 jaar n La Leche League leidster, en het al vier haar dogters geborsvoed tot ons self gespeen het. Ek het gedrink tot ek amper vyf was since na my nog n sussie gekom het met wie ek my lekker melkies moes deel.  Ons het groot geword tussen borsvoed mammas en daar was niks so cool soos om saam te gaan na n LLL meeting die eerste Woensdag van elke maand nie. In 2010 op die ouderdom van 20 het ek as enkel mamma geboorte gegee aan n pragtige baba dogtertjie Cara-Mia.  En since my ma vir my n Womanly art of breast feeding as persent gegee het by my baby shower, het dinge sommer dadelik baie goed gegaan.  Daar was moeilike dae en rowwe dae.  Huilende en laggende dae. Maar ek het my borsvoed journey baie geniet.  Mense vra so baie hoekom ek borsvoed en hoekom ek so lank aan gehou het.  Aan die begin was my antwoord altyd, omdat dit malk...
