My SheIn Shopping Review/ Experience

Posted on by


Alrighty..here it is, my SheIn review as promised! I started the conversation on IG Stories about them because I know historically us South Africans have been starved for choice in Christmas jammies. And now that we do have them available in SA, the prices are not always easy on everyone’s pockets.

Especially if you’re wanting to buy for THE WHOLE FAM BAM! As a mom of many Im always on the look out for a good deal…especially on truly Christmassy jamas. Enter SheIn, who have an incredible selection of pyjamas – whethers that’s just for you, just the kids or pets, and at really good prices. And since Im always getting DM’s about where I get our different festive jamas through the year, I thought I’d share this new find.

(Side note: Matchy Jammies is NOT at all a necessity to celebrate the season. Im sure you know this, but I just wanted to put out there for anyone who may need to hear it. So please don’t fall for any invisble pressures to do so. These are just little extras that I personally love and budget for!)

So for all you who have been Continue reading →

Living That Fresh Newborn Life As A Family of SIX!

Posted on by

Looking at these treasures of photos, I feel like it was only just last week that we were sitting in the thick of the joyful, exhausting chaos of newborn life with Remy-James, and of becoming a bustling family of six; Of completing our family, with my heart brimming with gratitude and blissful satisfaction of a lifelong desire truly fulfilled…Or actually, an adventure that has truly begun.

I cannot believe that this is now almost TWO years later (HOW?) How this is possible, I’m not sure. I feel like it’s a glitch in the matrix or something – all of it is still just so absolutely fresh in my mind. Even this very Continue reading →

I honestly thought that I’d have a full blown post at this point compete with all the details and photos..and most importantly all the feels that this night, and this month bring to my little creative heart. But here we are at night, with a super tired mama mind and body, unclear if if what Im about to type will even make sense…so essentially it’s a freefall super fast zip trip through my head about this little tradition of ours…Ladies and gents…Our 4th Annual Potter Night…

Happy Family Organics Review & Hamper Giveaway!

Posted on by


If ever there was time we were all about the snack life, it would definitely be NOW, in lockdown! Every minute is a valid snack time, am I right? Granted the same could be said about toddlers in general. 😉 And when it comes to our littles, we’re always trying to find a good quality snack…

Personally, that means even if it only means that we’re ensuring some solid nutritious snacks in between a few other goodies that might go down now and again (4th child realities, people).Its reassuring to know that they are getting natural and organic snacks that are not only delicious but giving them the nutrients good for their development of their young little bodies and brains. Now, thanks to the awesome folks at FreeBees PR & Marketing, along with Happy Family Organics, ONE of you lucky folks will get to enjoy a Happy Family Organics Hamper worth Continue reading →

Vital Baby Product Reviews:Hydrate Free Flow Cup & Wean and Store Pots

Posted on by


If there is something in the house of toddlers we cannot ever seem to have enough of, it would be sippy cups! (Ok, fine, snacks too…but we definitely are always in need of proper sippy cups) I know there are mamas all over the country refilling the cups of constantly dehydrated toddlers, nodding their heads in agreement! 😉 We certainly, as a family of four kiddies, are always on the look out for a proper sippy cup that ticks all our boxes of what makes a great and practical cup.

So when Freebees PR and Marketing offered us a test run of the Vital Baby Hydrate Free Flow Cup, for us to review, along with the Vital Wean and Store Pots, I was in! We gave it a solid test run – from in car picnics to on the go snacking and drinking, and even park time snacking, I think we gave it a pretty good go. And here’s what we think…

D.I.Y Slice ‘n Bake Apple Cookies

Posted on by


Guys, for those who’ve stuck around with me after all these years, I think by now you’d know that when I say “cookies are my jam”, I MEAN IT! I love making them, I love trying new FUN recipes, I love different cookie concepts, and I certainly LOVE consuming them! So its safe to say that we always have some home-made cookies ready to go in our home. And these Apple Cookies are my latest favourite thing to make!

The colours, the shape, the ease – just all of it – have my cookie loving soul dancing. And trust me they ARE easier to make than you think. And what’s nice is that using this method you can keep some and save for later. They are perfect for school themed parties, teacher gifts, picnics, or just because. Now because of the nature of this, I had to put a video together for it, as its easier to SHOW you how than to describe how. Continue reading →

Salted Chocolate Brownie And PeanutButter Bites Brownie Recipes

Brownies are totes the new Banana Bread of Lockdown,right?…Or maybe it’s just me. Or maybe I’ve always just been a brownie fiend and will always have a weakness for them, regardless of lockdown. But this is the one thing I’ve been making every week in lockdown, so it’s kind of become quite a staple in our home. And now we’ve added these TWO divine variances to the mix, and I just cant get enough. There’s another Continue reading →

The Gentle Art of Postpartum Care

Posted on by


The postpartum period is a time like no other. That delicate period of cocooning, discovering and unfolding with your new little bundle(s) that follows birthing them into this world. It is a special time where once more your body does some amazing transformations, and you and baby dedicate yourselves to finding your rhythm, get to know each other and forge your bonds. It’s a paradoxical time of newness, excitement and monotony. And amidst all that, your hormones are roller-coastering, your sleep is dramatically reduced beyond your control, and your stamina and ability to maintain your poise gets tested like never before.

There is just so much morphing constantly, between baby AND you, at rate which almost feels impossible to keep up with. And, if not done with proper support or mindset, it could leave you reeling and depleted. Which is not the ideal way to start your mothering journey off. Your world changes, as do your perspectives – so radically, yet Continue reading →
