A few months ago I asked a friend of mine, Zandi, to come and re-organise my closet and help me switch up my style, since my closet was full of maternity wear. After having my last baby, I was feeling confident enough to start exploring with my style again and update my closet; this coincided […]
Motherhood isnt always pretty – it’s a fact. Yet, there are times when we feel like we have to suck it up and take it all in without showing or speaking up about our vulnerabilities. There is no doubt that we are more liberated than the generation of abo’mama bethu, who had to juggle all […]
Hosting an event for moms has been on my to-do list for over 2 years and I’m so excited to finally be doing it, alongside one of my favourite Mamas, Londy from Mamas Escape Club. We connected online about a year ago and have been getting along like a house on fire since then. We […]

At most times, that synergy is not built immediately, but over time as you both step into your beautiful new reality together. One of the most powerful ways that you can use to build […]
I surprised myself so much by taking part in my first Soweto Marathon. Just the word marathon is intimidating, I moaned and changed my mind a million times leading up to race day. It just freaked me out, but in the end it was done. I’m grateful to my sister for pushing me to do it […]
I’ve always been a baby wearing fan and I’ve worn both of my children. I’m doing it more extensively lately, after looking into the benefits of baby wearing and finding the perfect sling for us. What is baby wearing? Baby wearing is not a new trend, Africans and other nations have followed the culture of wearing […]
Managing a household with an infant and a 7 year old during the school holidays [while our Helper is on leave for 10 days] is ALL the motivation I need to re-evaluate my little man’s chores and responsibilities at home.
