What is the girl code even? Is the bro code just a figment of Barney Stinson’s (How I met your mother) imagination? And the girl code of mine?
I think it exists we just don’t put a name to it…

Kid friendly musical in PE this week
Growing up one of my all time favourite things to do was sing along to Disney classics. You remember those Video Cassette tapes (yes I am old) that featured a bouncy ball for you to sing along with? I LOVED THAT!
My cousin (Che-lynn) and I particularly LOVED annoying everyone by singing along at the top of our lungs (still kind of do). We are now parents to equally (if not more so) dramatic kids (Practically besties, Aidan and Kirsten) so music still sprints in the family.
Imagine how excited I was to learn that The PE Gilbert & Sullivan Society and PEMADS are presenting a family show entitled Music!Movies! Magic! A show set to bring together local talent to perform hits songs from children’s movie classics!!!
Music! Movies! Magic will be directed by Yolande Farrow and Rose Cowpar with choreography by Bennie Gerber and some amazing vocals directed by Ann Yates and Richard Campbell. With a cast of 28 ranging in age from 7 to 50 something.
Music will be sampled from such classics as Mary Poppins, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King to the recent smash hits Frozen, Tangled and The Lego Movie. They are promising something for everyone.
Music! Movies! Magic! runs from tomorrow (December 16) until Saturday (December 19) at the Savoy Theatre nightly at 7.00pm with a matinee on Saturday.
Tickets are on sale now at all Computicket outlets at just R70 for adults and R50 for children

Belinda Davids; the woman behind the tribute
Congratulations to Nicole who won the tickets to the Internationally acclaimed Whitney tribute show taking place at the Opera House this weekend!
My mom and I are excited to go!!! even more so after I got to ask the awesome performer, Belinda Davids a few questions. I mentioned in the PREVIOUS POST that PE born Belinda beat out over 15,000 other applicants to take on the challenging lead role. This time around I got to ask the beautiful mother of a teenager and a preschooler (this might be tougher role actually) what it all meant to her… here goes.

| OH!!! you can follow Belinda on Instagram 🙂 her hair is EVERYTHING |
Have you always been a fan of Whitney Houston?
Since the first time I heard her voice on a Teddy Pendergrass LP.
I fell in love with the purity in her voice

What made you audition?
My friend called me one morning and told me he sent out 25 emails to director of
the show and he reserved a spot for me. He convinced me to pack up my three
month old baby at the time and go and do the audition. Which I did and the rest is history.

Do you remember your first time on stage as Whitney?
I never tried to play Whitney ever before until now. I always just sang Whitney as Belinda but when this opportunity came I had to take it because that meant I could be my idol in full. So this is my first time as Whitney.
What has been the best and the worst experience of this journey?
There has not been an bad experiences on this journey. Every experience I’ve had has been a learning curve for me Good or bad in this journey as Whitney.

Baby under construction shower :)
As promised here are some of the things I made for my sister’s baby shower….
 |
| Mom-to-be, she is to tiny it’s sickening (jealous much) |
 |
| Using a print of the internet I fashioned these, lanyard style invitations – just print, laminate, punch holes, put in string TADAH |
 |
| Each guest got a game pack with pencil and print outs of the games we played I used the usual games but put a construction spin on the look by using good old microsoft Paint |
 |
| My good and trusty body scrub recipe came in handy as party favors |
 |
| Some danger tape and hard hats made for quick and easy decor |
 |
| Food glorious food |
 |
| The overall look |
 |
| Aidan’s truck delivered the favors, 😉 |

So I’m learning to make balloon animals :)
Did you know I can make balloon animals, well technically I can make, a dog, a elephant, a bird and a flower, which is a far cry from when I could only make things like sausages and worms…
Why do you ask? Well because I have always wanted to know how and because I think it would be a pleasant addition to my son’s first birthday party….
I know I have been all ho hum lately and that is just not me, so I thought I’d share some pleasant news J
IM IN THE PARTY ZONE PEOPLE!!!
Any regular blog readers would know I LOVE LOVE “WISH IT WAS MY JOB” LOVE planning parties/get togethers … funny enough I’m not big on hosting I just want to plan and step away…
Right now I’m in the midst of planning things pretty close to home … here they are in order of date…
-It’s my turn to host the mommy’s get together lunch…everyone is coming to my hometown for snacks and cupcakes and chats about everything , and I mean EVERYTHING! I find you can’t do too much different with a picnic for 10 moms and their busy body baba’s , but I’ll add a touch of me to it, because I can J
-Then it is my niece Taylor’s birthday, her mom wanted to do something small yet pretty for her little princess and we have just had the biggest blast looking at ideas to bring a little “royal tea-party” together. It’s going to be held in our front yard with the emphases on “tiny royals” Tay is pretty easy though, she’d be happy with a cake and a pretty dress, but we are trying to amp it up because she deserves it.
-Then the one that’s giving me a little stress, my own baba’s 1st birthday party, we going with a barnyard picnic theme and I’m super excited to share this momentous occasion with all our loved ones…. I’m thinking little picnic baskets, farm themed foods and a jumping castle, but mostly just family hanging out and thanking God for this amazing year J Yes there are practically three more months to go, I like to be prepared, hehehehe
*Will post tons of pics*
