Who am I?

I suppose I had to start my blog by introducing myself,apologies!
I'm Nadia, mom to Lirelle (3yrs ) and Wian (7months), the reason(s) why I started the blog. (I want to record some of their days for them to read one day, and why not share it with you as well?)
We live in Alberton, South Africa, I grew up here,went to varsity in Potchefstroom,  (where I also met my hubby)worked in England for a year,traveled Europe before we came back,started teaching Gr.R (pre school), got married, taught arts and crafts as an extra income after school hours. That I enjoyed so much I quit teaching preschoolers and taught A&C full time,(we built a house with a studio)until I fell pregnant, after which I scaled down.  I am so blessed, having a girl and boy and being able to be a stay-@-home mom.

When I was just a little kid, my mom asked me what I would like to become one day, and with child innocence I answer in Afrikaans:" Net 'n gewone mamma soos mamma! " Translated : " just a mom like mommy ". I went to varsity, could have studied anything, but chose Education with Psychology as an extra subject. 

Even though not teaching at a school, but raising my kids I still use my knowledge, and I want to share with it with you. I am definitely not a super mom, I get very easily frustrated (working on that ). Every thing I do is definitely not educationally thought through, and some of the activities are every day things turned into a lesson, , accidentally. Other activities don't turn out as expected.(if your kiddies are in some mood)
Anyhow I hope to be of help to other mommies , but please excuse the grammar, its definitely not a strong point (seeing that English is a my second language).
Do leave a comment, I would love to hear from you! How old is your kids? Where do you live?
