Childhood is all about the magic of little moments

Childhood is all about the magic of little moments—chasing bubbles, climbing trees and endless poolside giggles. But as a mum, I know that behind every adventure is a little prep to handle life’s hiccups.

This week, I’m sharing how @silverlab_healing has become part of our daily routine. From soothing scraped knees with their Healing Spray to tackling post-swim ear care with Ear Rescue, and even keeping my immune system strong with their Liquid, Silverlab has our backs through it all.

Because in a house full of love, laughter, and chaos, a little extra support goes a long way.

What’s part of your family’s wellness routine? Let me know below!

This festive season, why not spread the holiday ch

This festive season, why not spread the holiday cheer to our feathered friends with some handmade bird seed ornaments, we're turning all of our outdoor trees into decorated christmas trees 😀
Using @westermans_za bird seed, I crafted these adorable ornaments to add a festive touch to our garden while providing a treat for the local wildlife. To make our garden even more inviting, I stocked up on suet balls and bird feeders, creating the perfect setup to attract more visitors, and we have been having a blast sitting and trying to identify all the different species.

Westermans bird seed is available online and at most local pet stores, so you can easily grab some for your own garden.

Get creative and make this holiday season extra special, not just for your loved ones but for the birds that bring life and color to our gardens. Share your creations and tag me – I’d love to see how you’re bringing Christmas to the outdoors!

Comment "FEEDER" and I'll send you the instructions !

What a beautiful afternoon spent with @cadbury_sa

What a beautiful afternoon spent with @cadbury_sa set amidst the serene embrace of nature at @ground_the_venue , we gathered to celebrate the profound beauty of gratitude. A tribute to the moments and people who make life extraordinary hosted by the most inspiring duo, @regodise .

A gentle reminder that life’s sweetest gifts often lie in the simplest acts: a heartfelt smile, a shared moment, or the indulgence of a Cadbury chocolate shared with someone dear.

As the day drew to a close, we embraced the festive spirit by crafting enchanting houses made entirely from Cadbury chocolate. These delectable creations were the perfect way to end with some friendly competition.

I invite you to continue this ripple of gratitude. Take a moment to reflect, to give thanks, and to bring joy to others in meaningful ways.

Tell me: What are you most grateful for today? Share your moments of thankfulness with Me.
