Sometimes, the most beautiful thing in the world is simply knowing you don't have to walk alone.

Orange picking with the family!

Some more family fun, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the simple things. There’s something so special about being out in nature... from the trees to our table.

Messy hands, happy hearts and a pocket full of fresh oranges.

A day spent with family, surrounded by nature.

Picking mulberries and oranges straight from the trees, getting a little messy, eating way too much, and making the sweetest memories.

Messy. Tasty. Fun.

Sometimes, the simplest days are the best days.

Hello September. Hello Spring.

The 1st of September is Spring Day in South Africa! A season of hope and new beginnings. 🌱

We’ve been a little quiet around here lately, taking some time offline while we navigated Hannah’s recovery from surgery. The last few months haven’t been the easiest, and she simply hasn’t been feeling quite like herself.

So, my hope for September is a simple one…

That we have more breakthroughs than breakdowns.
That as Hannah gains her strength, she finds her confidence again.
That she laughs a little louder, smiles a little more and remembers just how capable she is.

And most of all, that this new season brings growth, healing and a little more sunshine into her world.

Because sometimes, new beginnings don’t have to be big.
Sometimes they look like simply finding your way back to yourself.

Here’s to September.
Here’s to spring.
And here’s to Hannah blooming in her own time. 🌼

Yesterday, I was feeling so frustrated with Hannah's progress.

It felt like we have been through so much, yet she still isn't where I had hoped she would be. I found myself wondering if all the hard work, surgeries, therapy, tears, and determination were enough.

Then this morning, I opened my phone and a video from years ago popped up.

It showed Hannah struggling to move in ways I had almost forgotten.

Sometimes, when we're living through the journey every single day, we become so focused on how far we still have to go that we forget to look back and see just how far we've already come.
Progress isn't always obvious when you're in the middle of it.

Today, I'm grateful for that unexpected reminder.

Here's to celebrating every step, no matter how small, because one day you'll look back and realize those small steps became something extraordinary.

3 weeks done.

Hannah's casts finally came off.

All the emotions wrapped up in one moment... the fear, the relief, the happiness, the overwhelming gratitude.

The second the first cast came off, Hannah whispered, "I can feel the air on my legs," and then the tears came. "I'm so happy," she sobbed. My heart broke for my little girl. She has been through so much.

Three weeks of being uncomfortable. Three weeks of waiting. Three weeks closer to healing.

Watching her smile again after all she's been through reminded me that sometimes the smallest moments become the biggest victories.

One more step forward on this journey. One day at a time. ✨

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads showing up, putting in the work, and making a difference every day.

Update

Well, we survived Week 1. Barely. 😅

I'm happy to report that Hannah is doing much better! The pain has eased a lot, and although it's been a very long week, I think we've finally made it over the worst part of the healing process. 💚

The current drama is that she still has to wear her casts for another 2 weeks. Apparently this is both unfair and highly inconvenient for her.

The good news? She's still getting around surprisingly well and continues to prove that she's tougher than the rest of us combined.

I'm also thrilled to announce that Hannah and I are officially friends again. Yay!!! For those following along, this friendship was briefly suspended due to my alleged involvement in certain cast-related decisions. 😬

It's been a long week, people!

Only 2 more weeks to go... but who's counting!?

07/06/2026

We are finally back home.

Today Hannah discovered that her casts aren't coming off anytime soon... she has to keep them on for 3 weeks.

To say she is unimpressed would be the understatement of the year.

She feels completely betrayed. The original plan was a Botox procedure, but after her pre-op assessment the doctor changed course and decided Achilles tendon lengthening surgery would benefit her more. In Hannah's eyes, however, I am clearly the mastermind behind this entire operation.

Current status:
❌ I'm not her friend anymore.
❌ She doesn't want to talk to me.
❌ She doesn't want me to touch her.
❌ I have apparently ruined her life.

Honestly though, beneath the tears, anger, and dramatic declarations, I find myself feeling proud.

I'm raising a little girl who knows how to speak her mind, stand up for herself, and tell people exactly how she feels. Sometimes that means hearing, "I don't want to be your friend anymore," from the child you would move mountains for. But it also means she's growing into someone who isn't afraid to use her voice.

Right now she's angry. Really angry. And that's okay.

This has been a huge week for a little girl who never asked to have cerebral palsy, never asked for surgery, and definitely never asked to spend three weeks in casts.

So for now, I'll keep loving her through the anger, offering hugs she'll refuse, and waiting patiently for my friendship status to be reinstated.

Wish me luck. 💚

Yesterday, Hannah's BFF came to visit after we were finally discharged from the hospital.

Sometimes friendship really is the best medicine.

Hannah had been miserable and emotional in hospital, with lots of tears and a very long, difficult day. But the moment Leah arrived, everything changed. Suddenly there were smiles, laughter, and a little bit of normality again.

It was such a blessing to have Tremayne and Leah come to us, bringing food, comfort, and so much love when we needed it most.

Leah and Hannah are definitely friendship goals. Not only did she cheer Hannah up, but she also made sure her lip gloss was on point! 💕

My heart is always so full after spending time with you girls.

Thank you for bringing sunshine to what had been a pretty dark day. Your kindness, friendship, and love meant more than you'll ever know.
