Its National Doughnut Day but do we really need an excuse to have a day for doughnuts? I think not 😃😃 Throwback to these gems that @krispykreme_za did for the last back to school campaign, they definitely feature in my top 10 favourite flavours. Tommorow I'm taking the morning to get a takeaway coffee and a tray of the most indulgent @sallywilliams_nougat doughnuts just for me.. because I can 😂😂😂 What's your favourite flavour ?

FREE PRINTABLES -- When I posted a photo the other

FREE PRINTABLES -- When I posted a photo the other day that included some of our flash cards I got a flurry of messages asking where I got them from (sorry if I still havent replied). At the time I was jumping back and forth across 3 different sites trying to print out all the words required by the school and it was so frustrating! I've consolidated all the sight words for Grade 1 and it's a combination of Frys and Dolche Sight Words.
Print and cut them out and laminate them for easy use. If you dont have access to a laminate machine you can put them between 2 sheets of contact paper.
If you're looking for number flashcards @justamamma designed some incredible printables last week that are perfect for learning numbers.

Link to the printables is in my bio
Please tag me if you use them I love to see and share to as many mamas who need some help!

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice,

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Desmond Tutu "The time is always right to do what is right" - Martin Luther King

George Floyd was arrested for supposedly paying for something with a counterfeit $20 note. 17 minutes after his arrest he was pronounced dead. In videos, the arresting officer kept his knee firmly on down on Mr. Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, he did not remove his knee even after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness, and for a full minute after paramedics arrived at the scene.
Family members have encouraged people to not turn to riots but to vote to truly make a difference.

This is NOT just an American problem, stories and deaths in South Africa have been highlighted throughout lockdown. It is enough.

--AD-- Let's get real for a second, with all the juggling that is going on at the moment, working from home, running a household, homeschooling there is limited time to "run to the shops" - Moving around busy shops is actually the last thing I want to do right now and I definitely dont want to take my kids out either! With @onecartza I don't need to! You're assigned a "personal shopper" who will do all your shopping for you across all major retailers, including @makro_sa !
All of your essentials are delivered to your door with a 2 hour promise. Still need another reason? @onecartza has recently partnered with FoodforwardSA and for every order you place you'll have the opinion to donate a meal for those in need. I've been looking for ways to give back and they make it so so easy!
Guys, it's a life changer, whether you order on your app or directly from the website on your computer next time you need a grocery shop try @onecartza .

Transport me straight back to my childhood -- Coff

Transport me straight back to my childhood -- Coffee Cake at my Grandma's house 😍😍 During our school holidays we would always go to Zimbabwe to spend holidays with my Grandparents, my Gran would always bake a coffee and walnut cake that she would keep in a cake tin older than I was. It brings back the best memories of my childhood. This time I cheated and took a @bettycrockersa vanilla cake mix and added in a shot of espresso. Guys.... this is honestly the most fool proof cake I've ever baked. Its light and fluffy and doesnt even nearly stick to the pan!
I've got a few more recipes with them up my sleeve but for now, go get one and ake a coffee cake 😃😃 #coffeecake #bettycrockersa #bettycrocker #bakewithbetty #bakingwiththeboys #cake #inthesestilettos #sablogger #foodie #bakersofinstagram #childhood #memories

So here's the thing... I'm a bit of a serial "goal

So here's the thing... I'm a bit of a serial "goal setter". All throughout my life I set myself "goals" or targets to achieve. Whether it's something big or even something small, like a timeline in my mind. Getting through Ramadan for example, that was my "goal" I guess. Since Tuesday I've been feeling deflated and emotional, and I can officially say that last night I had my first good "Covid Cry". Not just for me but for everyone, for all of us. For the fear, anxiety, economy, for families, children and youth. For my nanny who is not only supporting her immediate family but is now supporting her 3 brothers who havent been able to earn an income since lockdown began. For the waiters and the hairdressers.. It just all got to me and I realised this morning that my last "goal" or "timeline" has finished. I have nothing to look forward to or set my sights on! Of course, I'm looking forward to travelling again with my family, but with no date on my mind it's not a "real" dream.
Anyone else feel the same? I need something to keep pushing me forward for the next month, for my own sanity !

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating, from our family to yours 💕💕 Eid Ul-Fitr is the celebration we have after a month of fasting and reflection in Ramadan, its filled with family, food and lots of festivity. This year is definitely our quietest one, but filled with love none the less. May Allah swt accept our efforts during the month of Ramadan and hear our prayers ameen xx

A little late with todays #sundayfunday activity but today was spent full of Eid Prep and Haircuts 🤣🤣 Throwing this back to one of our favourite activities which we have used time and time again. We made up some dinosaur fossils out of both salt dough and plaster of Paris (suprisingly easy) and then played architect as we brushed them out of cloud dough. Pair it with your favourite dino books for an end to end activity! These keep indefinitely and we've used them in various play since then. Trust me, its worth your while to make these !

Winter is without a doubt here and this Is definit

Winter is without a doubt here and this Is definitely one year where protecting our bodies from colds and flu is top priority. With it being Ramadan I have to think a little more about making sure we are getting in all our essential nutrients in the meals we eat to strengthen our immune systems.
FUTURELIFE® provides a range of functional food products that provide balanced nutrition with nutrients and functional ingredients to support your immune system. I add some @futurelifeza Smart Food™ into our smoothies for the morning meal and add a little "Crunch" on top. It contains 21 vitamins and minerals, providing 50 % of our daily requirements for all vitamins and minerals in just one serving.

I prefer a smoothie bowl while my husband prefers to drink his.
I think this is a tradition we will be continuing long after Eid and all throughout this winter! Are you finding that you are more conscious about keeping healthy this year? #ad #LiveLongLiveStrong #FuturelifeStrongerFromWithin #dailyfoodfeed #buzzfeast #eattheworld #foodiesofinstagram #onthetable #smartfoodchoices #foodiefeature #kitchendiaries #smoothies #smoothiebowl #strawberrysmoothie #safoodie #safoodies #tasty #winter #boostyourimmunesystem
