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 […]
About my Mama Mingle Event
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 […]
Introducing Puma x Tinycottons
My daughter gets excited every time I bring home anything new and she literally shrieked when she saw her Puma Tinycottons sneakers and top.

Khumo’s first birthday party
Wait, can I call it a birthday party if it was just us… her parents, brother, aunt and grandparents?!
