It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow and I’m dreading it just a little bit. I suppose this is what happens when you lose your mom. The worst is seeing all those posts on social media, “Get mom something she’ll love”, “show mom how much you love her by getting her this” or “tell us why your mom …

A thin person in a fat person’s body
I look in the mirror and I’m happy with what I see. My clothing flatters me, my hair looks good, makeup is subtle but makes me look fresher and not as tired as I feel. We’re going to a little party you see, so I’m glad I look good because then I feel good. Fast-forward …
Not a lover of the cold
Am I the only one that hates the cold? I am seriously not looking forward to winter, with the icy cold winds, thick jackets that restrict my movements, struggling to keep a wriggly baby warm at night, laundry that doesn’t dry in one day and rushing to get dressed after a shower. Although the only …
Ramblings
WARNING – this post is literally a brain dump. Proceed with caution. When the words won’t come out……. What do you do? No motivation to write but wanting to say something. I think I’m tired. I think I need a holiday. I wish I could just quit my job and find a way to make …
LABEL Collections

So when I was contacted by Nadia Turton, who is the creator of LABEL Collections, I was itching to find out more about the brand and who …
How do I put into words?
Featured On CapeTownInsider I’ve been struggling to write this post the whole day. It’s still fresh even though it’s been 2 years today. It still seems like yesterday that you held a 1 year old Ethan and smelled his neck. (Yes, I saw you and my heart melted). It seems like yesterday that you asked …
Feeling pressured
2018 has begun and I’m sure some of you set out some New Year’s resolutions or a word to live by for the year. I wish you everything of the best and hope you fulfill your resolutions. As mentioned in my last post, I have no resolutions, no word, and I don’t feel bad about …
Have I managed to convince Mark to sell the car?
**Sponsored** This year, Mark and I have been married for 8 years and together for 16 years. We’ve moved homes three times and have 3 children together. We also changed cars 6 times in the last 8 years. 6 times!! The first few cars were second hand vehicles that eventually gave problems that kept having …
I need your help please (it’s for the children)
It’s that time of year, where the days are warmer, we look forward to some time off from work to spend with our loved ones, we go gift shopping and plan our Christmas meals. The kids page through toy catalogues and make their lists for what they want Santa Claus to leave for them on …
Goodness Gang just got better
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 …
