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 […]
I’m quiet sensitive and often that side gets the better of me. I recently had a tearful breakdown when I heard of something hurtful that friends were saying about my family and I. I don’t want to focus on what and how it happened but, I definitely used this incident as a learning and reflection […]
Our family is currently in between homes – after selling our house last year, we are renting a place two streets from where we are building a new home. It’s been challenging to really feel settled in “someone else’s house”. There are things I want to do or buy but I can’t due to space and lease […]

Imagine the impact of this in the life of a child, growing up in an under-resourced and overcrowded squatter camp, with very few […]
During both my pregnancies, I remember praying, wishing and hoping for a healthy baby; It’s all I wanted. I went to every scan, paid attention to food labels, took prenatal supplements (as repulsive as I found the folic acid) and I took the time to rest when it was needed. To this day, the health […]
I’m finally in my thirties (31) – yes can we all just agree upfront that the last 12 months were just a trial run?! Thanks. I’ve been reflecting on my thoughts before 30 post that I did last year this time and I think I’m on track with what I promised myself – to LIVE […]
I’ve been playing around with the idea of becoming a Mompreneur and starting my own business more than usual lately. Whenever I’m with my varsity friends, as I was this weekend, they’ll always remind me of how I was working 2 jobs and running a business from my first year. I have always been a busy […]
