*sponsored Shopping online has evolved so much in the last few years, did you know that the first item sold online was a Sting album – Ten Summoner’s Tales in 1994. There was a time we were too scared to purchase anything online, for fear of fraudulent activities on our credit cards, or we’d end up losing …
Disclaimer – I received the items from 4aKid but all opinions are my own. As the mother of two young children, I’ve realised that child safety is the responsibility and obligation of every parent and guardian. After all, we all want the best for our children. Being a parent in today’s times is challenging enough, so …
**Sponsored** We’ve reached a new milestone in our parenting career. Our firstborn started Grade 1 last week. How scary is that? Not only for him but for us too. Even though we’ve been through it many, many moons ago, it’s still scary to have to help your child through his first year of school. Especially …
It was Matthew’s 7th birthday yesterday. 7 guys! I still can’t believe that I’ve been a mom for that long, seems like yesterday I was staring at his newborn face, taking in every little detail. His long fingers and toes, his button nose, his eyelashes. How is that they grow so fast? Now he’s a sensitive …
Happy New Year!!!! It’s been a while since I was in this place and I must say, I missed my little blog. I’ve been off having adventures with my boys and just soaking in as much of Harper as I can before I return to work. I’m really going to miss spending time with her …
My boys love visiting my dad. Not only because they love being around him and love getting spoilt, but because he has unlimited wifi access and they get to watch YouTube videos the entire time they’re there. I have a problem with this as that is all they seem to do, watch videos of other …
It’s my favourite time of the year and the magic is real in our home. It’s also a kinda crappy time now because we’re still missing my mom and finances could be a whole lot better. So to cheer myself up (or torture myself with the things I can’t afford to buy) I thought I’d …
I’m an avid reader but I’ve been lax when it comes to reading to the boys. I always wanted (and still do) to share my love of reading with my children but life and time (and tiredness and and and). I’m either too tired or distracted or, more recently, busy with Harper. Even though I’ve …
With a newborn in the house, we are flying through nappies and wipes at an alarming rate. I will change a poop nappy, and then immediately after, Harper will mess a clean nappy. Why do they do this? I kinda wish I had known about cloth diapering when Matthew was little as I would have …
Life with a newborn baby is hectic. Whether it’s your first baby or you’re a pro at this game and you have your eighth, those first 6-8 weeks can push us all to the brink. We’re in our fourth week with Harper at home and although it’s been hectic, it’s not as bad as I …
