Blog award!


What a great way to start the morning!  Especially a Monday morning.  Much thanks to Angelique from "Isnt Life grand?" for her kind nomination for a blog award.  You can check out her great blog at http://angie-isntlifegrand.blogspot.com/ .  I love finding blogs by other South African moms!

Part of the nomination is to share some things about myself and as i do like to talk about myself (she says in jest!!), here goes:
  1. I am a mom to almost three little ones.  My sons are 7 and 4 years old and we are expecting a little girl in June.  This fills me with great joy and some fear.  I am trying to get me head around being the mom to a girl and what that means.  
  2. I am an addictive reader who averages a book or two a week.  I can by pass a shoe sale with ease but need to go into every second hand book shop i see.
  3. We are in the process of applying for a permanent visa to live in Australia.  This is exciting but can also make you feel like your life is on hold a bit.  
  4. We would ideally like to live in Melbourne.  I grew up by the sea in the Eastern Cape and would love to return to the shore again.
  5. I am a social worker by profession and specialise in victim services.  My husband is a logical, scientist who works in the computer science field.  We once had a real fight for two days because he told me that one day computer scientists will build a computer that will be able to diagnose mental illness.  REALLY,  We did!
  6. I am a real home body that finds great comfort within the walls of my home, loves family and embraces my time with them.
  7. I would love to visit Russia one day.  I love the architecture and the foreigness of the culture.
I would also like to nominate the following blogs for the award:
