A feel-good story
That Sunday evening dread… you know the feeling. The last golden rays of the weekend fading, the faint, ominous strains of the Carte Blanche theme tune starting to creep in. And then, BAM! A joyous, high-pitched symphony erupts from the other room – my 3-month-old toddler, McKenzie, in full “happy hour” cheer. Honestly, some evenings it’s a toss-up who’s louder, the investigative journalism or my little dynamo. Though, let’s be real, 90% of the time McKenzie wins that decibel battle, hands down. And every single squeal, every gurgle, is worth it a million times over after the rollercoaster of her arrival. My little girl – truly the greatest blessing.
But hold onto your hats, folks, because speaking of incredible little humans… South Africa, you’ve done it again! We’re known for breeding sporting legends, and I’m about to introduce you to the next one, fresh from our very own suburbs: Little Hugo!
