Totschool – Earth week, well kind of celebrated

-Elijah is 47.5 months- -Jessica is 9.5 months-

Where did the week go? I didn’t have the camera out half as much as it needed to be out. The weather got really cold here in the lowveld of South Africa. We don’t get snow but our seasons are changing with [...]

Totschool – Animals of all kinds

The SuperHero cape

Elijah has become fascinated with SuperHeroes lately. We don’t have TV and he gets very little exposure to this kind of thing But it does happen.

There is a great Hillsong Kids song about”Jesus is my superHero…my best friend”. Elijah loves it, we play it in the car a lot too! I decided to make [...]

Sewing and me

I have a great passion to be talented in this area…unfortunately I don’t have any real talent!

I consider myself almost a total beginner. I have failed so many times at projects – mainly because I hardly ever take on projects I can actually accomplish well enough for my perfectionist personality!
