Siblings Reading with #Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect Party Linky #185! Big Brother and Little Sister Choosing and editing two photos for today's blog hop has been quite a mission. I have to learn how to use Google Photos. Last week everything was stored and filed away neatly in folders on our desktop. However, our laptop and other electronics were stolen last week from our home while we slept. It's made our lives feel a little bit upside down, but at least we are all fine. And, thank goodness for Google as it automatically saved all of my photos. Sadly,...

Happy Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter Sunday! He is Risen! It seems fitting that as I type this special Easter Sunday post, it is raining outside. We have been praying for rain and I thank all my readers who cared and those who prayed. It's not fun going through a drought and I love my garden and enjoy the flowers. I know others in South Africa have suffered worse during this drought and animals have died, so I can be thankful that it didn't hit us as hard. Today I won't be hosting my usual weekend linky party. I always post it on a Friday, but...

Friends and a Wordless Wednesday #LinkyParty

Welcome to my Picture Perfect Party Linky #184! Instead of having a birthday party this year, Amanda opted to go with a friend to Ratanga Junction, Cape Town's theme park. I posted about that day with some fun photos on my travel blog, 1camera1mom. In the picture above, Amanda was with her friend, Cristi, and we had just arrived outside the theme park. Cristi gave Amanda a netball ball (it's similar to a basketball) and a book of short stories for girls for her birthday. The girls took a break from the rides and opened Kinder...

Bougainvillea and a #LinkyParty

Welcome to my weekend blog hop - Make My Saturday Sweet #167! On Good Friday, 1camera1mom (my travel blog) will be 4 years old! I originally began the blog as a place to share photos and photo tips. It wasn't long before I realized that it would be a great platform to share about our travels and the region where we live. There's so much to see and do in this corner of the world that I never run out of content to blog about and plenty of neat photos to share. In 2013 we went to Florida to visit family and so there's a good section...
