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 […]

Hi Mama’s, this week I’ve featured Gugu, another Mama that has overcome the challenge of a huge loss, after her first baby sadly lost the battle with Gastroschisis at 12 days old.

Indoor Date Night Ideas + Stand To Win A Big Night In With Pizza Hut
It’s been two months since our baby arrived and we’re yet to have a date night. I keep day dreaming about it but if and when the rare opportunity comes, I prefer to just cuddle in front of our new fireplace. The recent temperature drops are no joke, plus I don’t want to be toooo far […]
8 week baby and postpartum update
I can’t believe that Khumo [aka Little Lady] is 8 weeks old already!! Since this is my first update, it’s quite long, so it might be a good idea to grab some coffee. I’m still amazed at how each baby and experience can be so different. Although the first few weeks had a bumpy start, with the […]
My baby shower
My baby shower was everything I wanted it to be – – Relaxed and intimate: filled with the love of my son, closest family and friends – Pretty: I was getting into the groove of this girly thing – NOT a surprise: surprises are a control freaks worst nightmare. It was held 6 weeks before my due […]
Spread The Power of Breakfast – Win with Kellogg’s
One of the blessings I count each day is being able to put food on the table for my children. Many South Africans simply don’t have this luxury, because the reality is that 1 in 5 children go to school without breakfast – a heart-breaking, harsh fact! When children do not start the day with […]

The magic of coconut oil
Known as a super food, coconut oil has so many benefits, some of which are not widely known. I started using coconut oil in August last year, when my sister recommended it to me as a hair and body moisturiser. I buy mine from Dischem for less than R80 which I think is a steal […]
One-on-one with Modern Zulu Mom Part 1… Here’s what’s going on in my world
Twenty-odd days into the New Year and things are CRAZY! We moved into our new house over the first weekend of the year and my little man is now in grade 2 [HOW did we get here so quickly?!!!!] so our little family is having to adjust to several new routines and changes. I thought […]
