Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
The days just sort of morph into each other when you have newborn babies in the household. Much like the newest member in the family, your days seem to be consume, expel, wash, and sleep in a cycle. You just try to keep the dishes maintained and a clear path through the chaos so that …
Every year we end up having to buy an extra suitcase for all of the Christmas gifts I have ordered for everyone, but this year we had our limit of luggage and weight. We thought we had plenty of space until the last week when we (and by 'we' I mean Norman) finished up packing …
I normally never go into a shopping mall, certainly never on a Saturday, and definitely not just before Christmas. However, we will often do anything for our children and so I violated all of those rules last Saturday. I had to park miles away, it was incredibly hot and I was dripping with sweat by …
The weather last weekend was hot but the heat was tempered by the insane winds we were having. The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn.

This past week was a bit transformative for me. I mentioned in my last post that I was going for derma blading, but after chatting to my skin therapist, we opted for a light peel and a session with the dermapen instead. A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …
I've mentioned how happy Amelia gets when one of us understands what she is trying to say and I thought about that and realised that being understood is what many of us strive for in our lives, even once we are adults. Maybe that is why I relate to Amelia so, the lifelong misunderstanding of …
It is just unbelievable how much renovation disrupts your home, your routines and your mental state. My mental state is very much influenced by disorganisation. I know where everything is (usually in my desk) and not having things easily locatable was doing my head in. Norm put in the desk drawers on Sunday which certainly …
