Building Our Modern Farmhouse, a beautiful home, in rural South Africa

-

Building a modern farm house in rural South Africa has been a dream of mine for quite some time. The idea of having a spacious, comfortable home on a large piece of land, surrounded by nature, has always appealed to me. And now, after much planning and hard work, that dream has become a reality.

My new farm house sits on almost 10 acres of land, surrounded by beautiful countryside. It has 5 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, providing ample space for family and guests.

One of my favorite features of the house is the sunroom. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural light and views of the surrounding countryside. The dining room is also a great space for entertaining, with ample room for a large table and comfortable seating.

The kitchen is the heart of the house, and mine is no exception. It's equipped with all the modern amenities, including a large island, pantry, and plenty of counter space. The laundry room and mudroom are also conveniently located on the main floor, making it easy to keep the house clean and organized.

The formal living room is a lovely space for more formal gatherings and has a cozy fireplace. The pajama lounge is perfect for relaxing and watching TV after a long day.

Upstairs, there is a loft, reading nook, and family room. The loft is a great space for the kids to play, and the reading nook is a perfect place to curl up with a good book.

The veranda and braai area are great for outdoor entertaining. The veranda is a lovely spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, and the braai area is perfect for hosting a barbecue.

The 2-car garage is a great addition for keeping vehicles safe and out of the elements. The front porch is a welcoming feature, perfect for enjoying the views or just relaxing.

Finally, the pool is a great feature for those hot summer days. It's the perfect place to cool off and enjoy the beautiful South African sunshine.

Overall, building this modern farm house in rural South Africa has been an incredible experience. It's a place where I can truly relax and enjoy all that nature has to offer while being surrounded by all the modern amenities. I can't wait to make many happy memories here with my family and friends.

What Teen Pregnancy Taught Me About Life

When I found out I was pregnant at sixteen I was in a hospital and had just woken up from a train accident I had two days before. I could not believe that I was pregnant; I was in total shock. Looking back now I did not spend even an ounce of energy thinking about how bad my situation was and how hard life was about to become for me; I thought about how I could make this work. Having grown up in abject poverty and apartheid era violence, surviving was ingrained in me and the total sum of my experiences had prepared me for the moment. I knew that I had to dig deep in me to find the strength to realize my goals. At sixteen, I was not ready to be a mother and finding out I was pregnant could have derailed my life. Instead of letting the situation take me off my path, I did what I've always done with any situation: I took the lessons I could use and moved forward. Before I found out I was pregnant I was a member of the Student Representative Council in our school, a member of ...

The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family.

Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...
