One of the questions I get asked the most is how do I manage with my two boys so close together in age. I am definitely no expert in this field, a lot of my friends had two children right after each other, with some age gaps even being exactly a year! One of the things that really works for us though is a proper bedtime routine. Continue reading “The importance of bedtime routine”

Halloween themed lunch ideas
So I’m sure you are all well aware that Halloween is right around the corner, and it’s one of those “holidays” that traditionally, I do not celebrate.
By choice, I feel that something that was once about dress up and fun has largely been turned into something deeply evil and sick. As my children grow up however, I think back to my childhood and the fun we would have dressing up and trick or treating. I grew up in a rural area in Botswana.

Edible Slime Recipes
If you are a huge fan of slime like we are in our house, then you will notice that a large majority of the slime recipes do contain harsher ingredients like glue, detergents or borax. This can irritate little hands (though we have been fine) and its also crucial that this play should be supervised at all times. Continue reading “Edible Slime Recipes”

Living life through the eyes of my children
“If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, we would see the magic in everything…”
Every day when I wake up, feeling a little grumpy because my sleep was broken or not long enough, I look at my children in amazement. Every single day these tiny humans beg me to wake up and jump out of bed. It’s a new day, it’s a new day filled with promise and adventure for them.

Tips for a positive potty training experience
So we are in the midst of potty training… round two.. What amazes me is how different one child is to the other. My eldest was pretty much fully potty trained at 2 years and 4 months, the age my youngest is now. The thing is, he is just damn lazy 🙂 . He knows exactly when he needs to go but will purposefully go and run away from you. Continue reading “Tips for a positive potty training experience”
