My family is growing and I’m so excited and grateful for my pregnancy with baby number three! 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 […]
Towards the end of last year, I made the decision to finally do something that scared me and I hosted my first event in my Mama Mingle event series. It may not sound like a big deal, but I can’t tell you how much courage I had to pluck up to finally do something that […]
My daughter gets excited every time I bring home anything new and she literally shrieked when she saw her Puma Tinycottons sneakers and top. The mandarin-coloured items with a cherry-logo caught her eye and she immediately asked to change into them. If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, you will know that my daughter […]
As World Hunger Month draws to a close, I wanted to share a bit of what I did, in my little world, to try and solve what I regard as a national crisis. I was both sad and shocked to hear this: 1120 children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition in South Africa! As […]

Routine, what routine? Mama’s we are back in the hustle and bustle of managing the kids, navigating traffic and getting all our work done.

Every so often, I like to bring in a bit of the professional side of what I do onto the blog and I thought I’d talk about online learning, a topic that is relevant to me right now because A) learning and talent development is what I do for a living B) I’m excited to […]
Wait, can I call it a birthday party if it was just us… her parents, brother, aunt and grandparents?! I decided to spare myself the headache of throwing YET ANOTHER big celebration, especially after Lesedi’s 8th birthday party and my 30th birthday luncheon just a few weeks ago! She’s only one, which means she will be napping for most […]
