A beautiful day celebrating 6 whole years of our beautiful baby girl..
A science theme for our experiment loving little girl was the only choice, and she had one firm request - she wanted "teacher Susan" from @experibuddies_sa at her party.
The kids had so much fun blasting, creating, and watching magic unfold in front of them.

It's probably one of my favourite themes to date 🧪🔬🔭
Happy birthday, sweet girl. May your endless curiosity never fade away ...

I KNOW you're looking for dinner inspiration..
(Because I ALWAYS am)....

Here are 7 easy family meal ideas that I typically serve for my family of 6. Some of these are on constant rotation, but we do shift it up every week.
One thing is for sure, and that's there will ALWAYS be an "easy night," things like burgers or a braai...

Comment below if you want any recipe specifically, AND let me know what's on your weekly rotation?
We're in this together, so let's share ideas 💡

From Pixels to Popcorn 🍿 Have you taken the kids to watch the Minecraft movie yet?

Gave the boys a little treat on the long weekend and we fully immersed ourselves with a 3D version of the Overworld - I actually loved it!

If you have a minecraft fan in your house, keep your eyes open for these supercute toys from @mattel .

Tell me - what was the highlight of your Easter weekend?

We spent our Sunday at the Magical Rainbow Easter Egg Hunt at @melrosearch , and the kids had the time of their lives! From climbing and sliding at the Clamber Club play area to hunting for rainbow eggs and dancing with bunnies — it was nonstop joy (and sugar).

Tell me — what was the highlight of your Easter weekend? Any egg hunt chaos? Chocolate overload? I want to hear all about it in the comments!

This chocolate bark is EVERYTHING...Decadent, crunchy, sweet, salty and totally over the top (just how I like it)..
Melt, Swirl, Sprinkle and Snap ..
The kids think it's for them, but let's me honest, this one is for mama 😜

Comment below if you're going to give this one a go this weekend..

POV: You bring home the Astro Bot gaming
bundle..and suddenly EVERYONE wants a turn.
One controller. Six family members. Too much fun to keep to yourself.
From lightning-fast load times to mind-blowing 3D Audio, every feature had its moment to shine--just like us!

Here's what we loved:
Ultra-high speed SSD =no more waiting
Haptic feedback & adaptive triggers real immersion
1TB storage = more games, more fun
Astro's Playroom included = instant
adventure
Slim design = sleek look, big power
Pass the controller. Pass the fun.

This tablescape is one of my all time favourites. The colour combinations are just 👌👌 and If you swipe, you'll see that I recycled old egg shells and used them as mini vases for each place setting.
Gutted that my Google photos somehow deleted the original shoot but at least I have my old Reels to browse through..

I'd love to hear how you are styling your Easter table this year ⬇️⬇️ 🐣🐣

The Easter period is a special one for millions of people around the world, and when I'm fortunate enough to have my family around, I like to make the holidays they celebrate just as special ... It's my way of showing respect and love (and spoiling them when I can).
Over the next week I'll be sharing some of my favourite Easter themed tablescapes and meal ideas with you, in the hopes of inspiring you this season.

Nothing brings family together like a special meal around the table, so make it extra special by putting intention behind it.
Also, who doesn't love Daffodils and Daisy's? 🌸🌼🌷

Magic. Mystery. Mastery. South Africa takes center

There’s something truly magical about childhood

There’s something truly magical about childhood imagination—where unicorns are real, adventures never end, and every playtime feels like a fairytale. ✨🦄

Watching my girls bring their Unicorn Academy toys to life has been the sweetest thing. They’ve created their own magical world, where their unicorns and riders go on epic quests, build friendships, and unlock their special powers—just like in the show! And of course, they love that the riders’ hair matches their unicorns! 💖

Imaginative play isn’t just fun—it helps build confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills. And with these beautiful toys, the magic really keeps coming!

📍 You can find the Unicorn Academy range at Toy Kingdom, Toyzone, and Toys R Us—perfect for little dreamers! ✨

I made it out of the Pinterest Board 😅 🙌 Would you gift these?
Come with me as I paint and design my own custom made Islamic Art pieces with @cricut_sa .

This has literally been on my to do list for about 2 years, in hindsight, the project would have been a whole lot easier if I had just done the text in vinyl, but I wanted to do a stencil to make it look more "handmade".

Tawakkul, Sabr and Shukr - 3 incredibly powerful and humbling terms in Islam to live your life by (I can go into more detail if anyone wants), now proudly on display in our dining area to remind us of our faith.

Have you started crafting with your @cricut_sa yet ?

We are unicorn obsessed in this house, so you can imagine the excitement when I surprised the girls with their favorite Unicorn Academy characters! 🦄✨

Just like in the show, they got to create a magical bond with their unicorns—rubbing Wildstar’s horn to unlock the magic! ✨

And can we talk about how the riders’ hair matches their unicorns?! Such a cute detail that makes playtime even more special.

Beyond the fun, these toys encourage friendship, teamwork, and confidence—everything we love about Unicorn Academy!

📍 Available now at @toykingdomsouthafrica, @toyzone_za and @toysrus_za —perfect for little unicorn lovers! 💖

Stepping into the @nizamiyemosque in Midrand is like entering a sanctuary of opulence amidst the city's hustle.
The grand domes and towering minarets, adorned with intricate Ottoman-style designs, exude an air of regal splendor. Inside, the detailed, vibrant mosaics and detailed calligraphy create a lavish ambiance and a melted pot of cultures.
The ongoing Ramadan bazaar enhances the experience, offering an array of traditional foods and crafts that indulge the senses, so make sure to visit before it ends.
It's a celebration of community and culture that leaves a lasting impression, whether muslim or not, this spectacular masjid is a must visit for all, we will be back soon Insha'Allah.
