Counting Beans...: Ten Things about Parenthood
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2012/07/ten-things-about-parenthood.html
Ten Things about Parenthood. So uh yeah I've been kinda scarce lately. A lot has happened, the most significant of which is that TheHusband and I procreated. Which made me think back over the last few months of (mostly) blissful parenthood. Time flies. Seriously. I feel like I barely blinked and A's first birthday is already looming just around the corner. You don't know shit. Everything you thought you knew about having kids? Yeah, for the most part scratch all that. It still hasn't quite hit me that I ...

Counting Beans...: Beg, Steal & Borrow
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/01/beg-steal-borrow.html
Beg, Steal and Borrow. Do you get regular massages? Nope Actually never been for one. Except for the home DIY type ones from TheHusband. Do you have an answering machine? Nope Don't even have a home telephone. The closest thing would be voicemail I guess. Though I'm not a diligent user of it. Messages go there to die. What cuss word do you use the most? The F-bomb. Trying to curb my usage though. Are you underweight or overweight? Can you see your veins? Kind of red meat? Have You Ever…. No Looks kinda f...

Counting Beans...: Mirror mirror on the wall
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/01/mirror-mirror-on-wall.html
Mirror mirror on the wall. As in - looking back at the past year and anticipating with joy the year to come. We all do it. And I think it's good to take stock of where you are and where you're going every once in a while. Not necessarily at the beginning of the year either (although it is quite convenient). So, what happened in 2009? I jumped back on the blogging bandwagon - somewhat on this blog and much more so on my cooking blog - The Creative Pot. I also have a fan page. Private tweets) and here.

Counting Beans...: Ten things - mid October
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/10/ten-things-mid-october.html
Ten things - mid October. Post from twitter buddy,. I thought I'd try my hand at something similar. So things I've learned, things that put a smile on my dial and things I'm grateful for. Here goes nothing:. 1 I am stoked that we are going to become godparents to kid #2 in about 8 months time. 2 Seasonal eating is one of life's simple pleasures. It's challenging, but immensely rewarding and opens us up to new flavours and tastes, which is pretty awesome. 9 It's amazing how much I can accomplish in the ki...

Counting Beans...: Bad Kids vs Bad Parents
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/04/bad-kids-vs-bad-parents.html
Bad Kids vs Bad Parents. I know this lady. Let's call her Ms M. Ms M has what you would label a problem child. This is a child who acts out both at home and at school, talking disrespectfully to his parents, grandparents, teachers etc, breaking things (his own and other people's) and generally just being a menace to society. But And it's a big but. I don't think that the child is the problem here. Child allowed to stay up into the wee hours of the morning. At a school open day, several parents approach M...

Counting Beans...: Almost Autumn
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/03/almost-autumn.html
Seems it's time for my quarterly update again. Watch-what-you-eat regime I/we embarked on at the beginning of the year is paying off. I've lost a total of 4kgs since Jan and TheHusband has lost about 5kg. Not huge, but not bad right? On the foodie front, The Creative Pot. My cooking blog) is going from strength to strength, I've even had a couple of my recipes featured on food24. Grin* And this Sunday I'm attending the first ever South African food blogger conference. A week ago and my doctor informed me...

Counting Beans...: Ten things about moving
http://counting-beans.blogspot.com/2010/11/ten-things-about-moving.html
Ten things about moving. 1 It is *not*, I repeat NOT fun. At all. Not even slightly. Besides having to sort out all your crap (and boy do we have a lot of that), the heavy lifting and the unpacking on the other side is also not exactly a barrel of laughs. 2 Forget bootcamp. Moving is the ultimate workout. I'm expecting shapely calves and bulging biceps any day now after the strenuous work they did this weekend. 9 Our very vocal second kitty is a lot more calm ever since we moved into the new place. W...
