When do you know it’s time to say goodbye?
Hi! I’m Sam & these are the musings of my life…

Woman, wife & mom. Wine drinker, wannabe marathon runner, avid reader, ice cream lover! Join me as I blurt about the musings of this thing we call life...

Happy Grams!

  • There is this boy. He’s stolen my heart. He is my son, my boy, my Kade 💛💛💛
  • If it’s storming or snowing or intensely hot where you are right now, I apologize... I ran my first race in well over a year today after being “guided” into it by my running buddies.  When I saw the pics of myself I was never gonna let them see the light if day. But you know what, I’m posting them cos I loved today. I walked 10km with @inhilshead and we chatted, laughed and had a blast (killer hill included!) Yes I’m 25kg heavier than I want to be, but today I was reminded of my love for the road, for races and the “gees” of the race. 
Most of all I want to say thank you to my running crew who have not given up on me while I’ve been putting my running on the back burner. @sonja3473 @rgb7906 @jenty @lanceverster @inhilshead @greennicholas01 I’ve missed you crazies! 🧡💛💚🧡💛💚
  • My little madam living her best life after completing the 947 Kids Cycle challenge yesterday. 
The actual race was a challenge, she had a thrombie cos there was a slight downhill she had to ride down. I ended up having to jog walk next to her in flip-flops and jeans in the sweltering heat. I was not a happy mum to say the least.

She forgave me my irritation and I forgave  her nonsense, and we ended up having a great day despite it all. 
This is motherhood. Warts and all.
  • Goooooo Bokke!

We are amped for the final tomorrow! Bring it home boys! @siya_kolisi_the_bear and the team we KNOW you can do this!

  • Today we celebrated my mom. The woman who inspires me. The woman who shaped me. The woman who taught me to be who I am. 
I have failed her teachings so many times. I have done things that I know she disapproved of, that she was not happy with and that caused her disappointment in me.... BUT! I always know that even in my failings she loves and supports me. She will ALWAYS have my back. 
To the BEST Mom in the world.... happy birthday! I LOVE YOU!
  • Sunset swims on a hot summers day after a wonderful book club with very special friends. 
What a great life we live!
  • Tomorrow the husband turns 49, considering we were recently told he is very lucky to be seeing this birthday at all, we decided to bake him a cake cos why not? 
He might not be feeling at 100% (he has a very complicated surgery yesterday) but a birthday deserves cake... right?
  • We had loadshedding from 09:20 till just before 17:00 today. I had to bring the eighties back with my hair bubble due to no hairdryer but I got to spend quality time with this guy after homework!
  • Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I am #1in4... I met a new supplier the other day and she remarked on my tattoo of my children’s names and I explained what it meant to me and how we struggled for so long to have the family we are blessed with. I told her about my chemical pregnancy and my miscarriage. She asked me how can I be so open about my struggles with someone I just met. 
My reply was and always will be this... If being open about my story and my losses can help one other woman out there feel less alone and despondent then I will always be an open book about our journey to our babies. 
I am #1in4 
To the woman who is still struggling, to the woman who lost her precious baby, to the woman who feels like she cannot carry on anymore.... I see you. I am you. And I honor you.
