Happy New Year 2016!


About a week before Christmas, Robbie and I spent two days in Cape Town. These are some of the Christmas lights that we saw downtown.

My blog is best viewed in Google Chrome.
Please click on the images to enlarge them.




On Christmas morning our family of six drove to "Grandma's house." We didn't go over the river or through the woods, but it was a pretty drive for most of the way. My in-laws live at the West Coast in South Africa and they have an idyllic view of the beach and ocean. It's really wonderful for a family Christmas, especially since it's summertime in the southern hemisphere.

At the beach house there's even a wooden boardwalk that my father-in-law built with the help of a neighbor that goes from their garden to the beach. Last Christmas Robbie and Jeremiah spent a couple of hours oiling it down with the use of brooms.

I'll be sharing photos of our Christmas holiday in the near future. If you're itching to see some now, then check out this post from last year of the boardwalk and more on my travel blog, 1camera1mom, titled: Britannia Bay, South Africa - Part 3.


Just before leaving for my in-laws' house, I put together a post about our two fabulous days spent in Cape Town. You can see all the neat things we did on my travel blog, 1camera1mom: Christmas in Cape Town.



Wishing all my readers
around the world a blessed
New Year 2016!

Picture Perfect Party Linky #45

On Father's Day, we went to the Cape Town, Waterfront.
I usually post photos of our family and the region we
live in on my photography blog. And, I've decided to do
that again, so here's a preview of what you'll see when
you visit 1camera1mom.

This photo was taken by my husband, Robbie.

I also uploaded a YouTube video to
give you a taste of the atmosphere.


I'll take next week off from blogging.
That means there won't be a Picture
Perfect Party Linky nor a Make My
Saturday Sweet from June 25 - 29.

Picture Perfect Party Linky #12

One of the ways we celebrated Samantha's 12th birthday was to take her and her two friends ice skating at the Grand West in Cape Town. I think I was just as excited about going as Sammy was. In fact, we all were. It was the first time for the three sisters. Jeremiah went once before and that was back when he was in preschool.
