Hi {Meraki} followers,
Today is the perfect day to give you a very short glimpse into my timeline, otherwise known as everyday life!
So bear with me as I write one of my longest blog posts to date…
It was the strangest thing to compile a {mini timeline} of the past 5 years, but in order to get you up to speed with who I am & whom I share my life with, I simply had to pick a few snapshots!
So here goes…
Below is where my {passion} for the wine industry lies – give me a wine trade show or the launch of a new product or place any day of the week.
I love meeting {unique} people & reviewing new products!
The pictures below indicate the romantic side of my job…
Although, most of the time – my job is more like the picture below… 🙂
The story of how our family started…
I met my hubby about 5 years ago, through mutual friends at a social event on their wine farm.
We got engaged & had our lovely {engagement} shoot at Rhodes farm opposite the Boschendal Estate in Franschhoek.
If you’re ever in the area please go visit their {newly} revamped Le Pique Nique spot – the nicest place to have a picnic in the winelands!
We got married in the very picturesque town of Wellington at the Kleinevalleij Wedding & Function Venue.
They have the quirkiest restaurant Festa – where they serve the {yummiest} lunches!
We took most of our wedding pics in the beautiful woods near the Doolhof Wine Estate!
Although, the humidity was {sky-high} that day – the cool, tranquil vibes of the forest made each click of the camera worthwhile…
I will do a {blog post} on our wedding day at a later stage – although we got married in 2012, I still love the {finer details} that went into making our wedding day the perfect {spring} wedding!
Have a look at that amazing old cellar on our left – places like these are just begging to be used as a rustic setting for a styled shoot or vintage wedding venue!
A year later, we got the exciting news!
A pea in the pod…
And then we became 3…
Our {little man} was born on 23 April 2014!
The cutest little boy, with a {huge} personality and too many nicknames:
#BabyV
#LittleV
To name just a few!
I just love the pic above, on the left our little guy was a few hours old & on the other photo he’s about 4 months old!
Sometimes, as a new mommy it’s so difficult to comprehend how quickly time flies!
Before we knew it, our little man had his 1st tooth…
…slept like a boss…
…started on his #1st foods…
…and had the coolest social calendar a #7month old boy could wish for!
So know you have an idea of who I am, whom I share my life with & I really hope you enjoy my journey with me!
Please comment, share & pin what you love!
Have a great weekend!
