eLuckyfocus: Oh My Stinkin Heck!
PSSST! Check back here on Friday!
I’m giving away gorgeous
FREE stuff again!
Or perhaps I should say Oh My Sticky Heck!
One of my very favourite American bloggers, Heather at Oh My Stinkin Heck, has a list of great projects she’s doing with her kids this summer (yes, summer, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere).
Case in […]
Celebrating the Dads and the Kiddos
A very belated Happy Fathers’ Day and I hope all of you in South Africa had a relaxing long weekend and a restful Youth Day on Monday!
Things have been a bit wild here at Casa eLuckypacket — hence no posting! See that angelic blondie in the picture above? He’s been sick and home from daycare […]
Taking Great Group Photos – Every Time!

5 Things to Tell My Son
One of my favourite bloggers, Aimee at Greeblemonkey, recently wrote about the rejection she faced from other kids as a child and how that has affected her ability to make friendships as an adult. Comments on Aimee’s post were filled with reader’s stories from childhood.
We all have those painful stories. I clearly remember being the […]
Ohdeedoh Baby!
When I was pregnant with Tau, I looked around for nursery ideas that were practical yet stylish. And I came across what was then the Nursery section of a wonderful small-space-design blog called Apartment Therapy.
Well AT Nursery has now been spun off into a site called Ohdeedoh. With all the class and flair of the […]
Flying The Long Haul With a Baby
The first time we did the 24-hour jaunt back to South Africa with our three-month-old son Tau, we learned a few things about flying with an infant:
To pack double the babygros you think you’ll need — he blew out of six of the seven outfits we packed!
Leave the toys at home if your baby is […]
