If there’s one thing that makes it obvious that I have a big family, it’s our laundry. Last year was season of big changes and new beginnings for my family – not only did we have a new baby and move into a new house, but my hubby also moved back into town after two […]
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. Not because I need an excuse to travel, but because traveling requires time to plan and save. Since it’s the month of […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
When it comes to my body and nutrition, I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never put much thought into the health of my bones and how I could build strong bones – I’m probably not the only one who filed it under the “worry about it later category” right?! Well we should all proactively […]
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 […]
