It would be an understatement to say the last few weeks have been filled with difficult emotions as we face a global crisis. As things change and uncertainty builds up, I believe that we need to find ways of staying hopeful, positive and somewhat uplifted, so that the fear and helplessness doesn’t consume us. On […]
Travel destinations for your anniversary
Whenever I make travel plans, I consider scheduling them around the availability of cheap flights and special times or milestones, like birthdays, school holidays, and anniversary celebrations, like our recent trip to Knysna.

Five things to love about the new TommeeTippee Sleepee Basket
The one thing new (and not-so-new) moms always talk about is sleep – that’s because we don’t get much of it in the first few months of baby’s life. If it’s not the 2hour wake-sleep-schedule during the newborn days, it’s the urge to always have an eye on our little ones. TommeeTippee knows the importance of […]
How to improve your self-awareness
The one thing I have tried to actively work on since the beginning of the year is my self-awareness. At first, it wasn’t intentional, the events that were happening in my life kinda forced me to introspect and do some serious inner work. I’ve got a long way to go, but so far, it’s been […]

A trip to Knysna without the kids
Every January, my hubby and I take a trip without the kids and it’s the most refreshing thing ever! Yes, I said it. With three children, I can barely finish a conversation with my man on a normal evening – add to that, the fact that we work very different hours and careers – where […]
My daughter’s bedroom revamp
If you’ve been on a journey with us for a while, you will know that I’ve been on a mission to bring our personal touch into our new home. I started with the children’s bathroom and have now moved onto their bedrooms. I am excited to share the progress I have made on my daughter’s […]
Our children’s bathroom reveal
I’m so excited to finally get to do the children’s bathroom reveal – after what feels like yeeeears of building our new home. We moved in just over two months ago and one of my priorities has been having the children well-settled and comfortable. As you probably know, big changes like house moves can be […]
