I had the pleasure to host my second Mama Mingle event, which is part of a series of events I created last year, to bring moms together to chat about different themes and experiences we have along our journey. This past Saturday, the conversation was around home, building and renovation projects. I hosted eight gorgeous […]
Pregnancy – Baby Number Three
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 […]
Our stay at Cathedral Peak Hotel
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 […]
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. 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 […]

It’s been just over a year since my hubby took up an exciting career opportunity in another province – so I thought that it’s probably a good time to reflect on what I think it takes to make long distance marriage work. I hope this post will encourage a few people who may be in […]
Getting your children into a good sleep routine
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. If you’ve fallen out of your routine and facing absolute chaos, I can assure you that you’re not alone. After the holidays and our wedding, I’m trying to get our house […]
Four Ingredients to a Healthier Me
One of my favourite quotes of all time is “taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your children” – as idealistic as this sounds, it’s a really difficult principle to apply practically to your everyday life, as you juggle motherhood, a career, relationships and your personal hobbies. I set some goals at […]
Thoughts before my 30th birthday
I’m currently on a workcation in Europe, which means that I’ve had some time to think. Truly and deeply. Not just the kind of thinking that requires me to just get through my to-do list. This trip couldn’t have come at a better time because I’m due to sign up for my membership to the Dirty-Thirty […]
My first goal for 2017 – To Play More
Happy New Year Mama’s! This is the time that we set sights on our new goals for the year. Over the festive period, I took some time to reflect on the things I would like to achieve this year. As much as I have big plans for my career, finances and health (it’s seriously time […]
