A friend of mine got me KEEDO-krazy about three years ago, when we had our daughters, who were born four months apart. She always raved about the quality and great deals at the end of season sales. Thanks to her, we became regular Keedo shoppers; so much so, that the staff at our local store […]
I can’t believe that we’re approaching the last day of the first term in the 2019 academic year! This means that the winter exam season awaits us in a few weeks (spoiler-alert). This time last year, I remember being overwhelmed with my son’s transition between grade three and grade four. Then, just as I got into […]
I haven’t written a career piece in a while and I think it had much to do with the fact that I have spent the last few months trying to settle into my new role, which has come with growth of it’s own. It has been a big change for me, far different from my […]

I am also really grateful for all the love on my pregnancy announcement post, which I was initially very skeptical about. If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know that I didn’t share or announce my […]
When I think about Nestlé Nespray Fortigrow, it takes me right back to my childhood, when Nespray would be considered the “special” milk, that my sister and I only drank just before we left the house to go to school. We weren’t allowed to drink it at any other time. Our parents were obviously taking […]
Moving your toddler into their own room causes anxiety for a lot of parents, so I thought I would write about our experience and share it with you. Transitioning our co-sleeping toddler into her own room, has been both easy and difficult and I’ll explain why a bit later. Parents choose to move their toddler […]
A little while ago, our family took time out to enjoy a weekend away at the beautiful Cathedral Peak Hotel in Drakensburg. It’s a trip that I will probably never forget because of all the ‘firsts’ it came with – our first road trip as a family of four and although I have been to the […]
