The whole Instagram hiding likes thing versus drops in engagement has got me thinking recently… I found myself over the past few days noticing a HUGE drop in the number of “likes” I received on Instagram, of course it worried me. It concerned me that I wasn’t putting out enough good content, it concerned me… Read More Finding Your “WHY” And Remaining True
It’s Father’s Day on Sunday 16 June and thankfully progressed so much further then beers, braai’s and socks (though i couldn’t resist and included one pair of socks). Gifts have expanded; we can now buy experiences (my favourite kind), artisan coffee making courses to custom designed sports goods. Here are a few of my top… Read More Fathers Day Gift Guide 2019
I’ve debated for a while now whether to do this post or not, because well, our littlest doesn’t really have a “nursery”. In fact, its something I only ever did with our eldest. With Aadam, I painted the room in a soft muted grey, found the cutest elephant decals, had candy stripe walls etc. It… Read More “Nursery” Reveal – Making The Most Of Small Spaces
We all have toys that our kids don’t play with that we want to give away or donate right? We often never know where to drop them off or run out of time to do so.

Since I’ve had the boys I have connected with women whose creative talents leave me speechless, literally! Claire is absolutely one of those women. I first came across Claire on… Read More Love Local – Felt and Fairies, Meet Claire From “The Little Banner Company”
Have you got a cup of coffee in hand? Get comfy, because this post is a little longer than usual…. I want to talk about comparison, and why as women (actually as humans) we all do it so much and why the unhealthy kind, drives me bonkers. Firstly, know that its natural, and it has… Read More On Comparison
What a year 2018 has been. Looking back I can’t actually believe the change that has happened in our lives, so many things and so much to be grateful for! As a mother, looking at my now 5-year-old, this year has seen him grow into such a big boy. He thrived in a bigger preschool… Read More Reflections
To my baby boy…. I realised something on this long weekend. We have been so very unfair to you. You are still a baby, yet we treat you like you’re a big boy. You still need me so much but we just “expect you” to be the same or handle things the same way as… Read More To My Second Child
