This ain’t no trick. Or treat. This is just your fair warning….. Superbalist’s BLACK FRIDAY is coming!!
Now guys, as someone who has to be super wise with her pennies – thanks four kids, and hello school fees(!) – I’ve learnt that I can really make Black Friday work for me. You just need to know HOW! And if you’re keen, read on and I’ll show how Im doing it with Superbalist’s epic Black Friday this year!
Firstly, let it be known, that I haven’t Continue reading
Guys…my love for holiday celebrations are well documented, I think. And as an extention of that, my love for seasonal holiday pyjamas follows neatly on trend…but its always just been Christmas jam-jams and Easter…And its been like that for years now, as it was also nicely timed with the kids needing new pyjamas round about that time. So there was always some practicality to it all…HOWEVER, I think we can all agree that we knew this day was coming…ladies and gents, I give to you….HALLOWEEN Pyjamas!
I know, I know..i’m just 20 cats and a pair of knitting needles short of being the crazy cat lady who’ll knit seasonal holiday attire for my garden knomes…But I’ll be darned if I stopped! It makes not only my kiddies happy, but it makes me happy too…And being happy about them being happy is like a crazy happy game of Inception! So clearly I have no intention of stopping!…But also, for the record, I don’t own any garden knomes….or cats…knitting needles. (But Whiskey, our dog, knows she may have escaped Halloween jamjams, but Christmas is a sure bet! – No ‘fur’ real, she gets jammies too.)
Now, I know that there’s a whole gang of you who also enjoy it, much like we do. Chances are your kids might need new jams and how dope would it be that they now get holiday jams that are cute…They are..just look!
Or maybe they don’t need, but you’d love to get them some too…HOWEVER, if you’re like me, sometimes the cost of living makes that its just not always financially Continue reading
Hello lovelies…I know what you came here for… *Cough* dope munchkin giveaway *cough*…Its also FRIYAY,so whilst I love a good preceding ramble to all my posts, I think today I’m going to skip over all that and get right to it!

Happy Hump Day, folks! The week is in full swing, and just to give it some more oomph, how about a really sweet giveaway? Let’s do it!
Guys…as a mother, I know it may be odd to hear me say that I don’t often get excited about certain baby brands. I mean, my life at this stage(mostly) revolves around these brands, right? And as a mother of FOUR, and the rate and level at which I consume at, I’m a brand’s dream consumer! But ery few excite me, or only one or two have me loyal. So, when I say that I LOVE Munchkin products, that’s not just some cheap over used bloggerspeak term. (sidenote: truth be told,myself and all the other mom bloggers I enjoy, never actually use thoughtless bloggerspeak anyways) – I honestly LOVE them!
Munchkin has only recently arrived on SA shores, but I’ve used them for years already thanks to my Continue reading
What a weekend this was!! In fact, what a week! I went from celebrating our little Yurko-Mae’s second birthday through groggy, exhausted but excited existence (Because when you’re THIS sleep deprived -tahnks Remy- that’s what it is: existence), spiralling through a stressful week of work, and mounting worry about Remy’s nutrition. Right through to a full on emotional break-down, that I then shared on IG – which I probably will discuss more with you. BUT, at another time, for with the support of my hubby and not to mention the stream of kind & supportive messages I received from our little IG community, I managed to pull myself up by the threads of my big girl panties, and got my ish together for my girl! And what a lovely day it was! (And the whole weekend crescendo’ed with us winning a South African Parenting Blog Award for 2019.)
It was absolutely lovely…and not in the way you might think;There were no pinteresty hand made décor pieces this time. There was no yummy centre piece birthday I baked myself. There were no clever,thoughtful thank-you party packs. In fact, there was not Continue reading
Say what now?! We won?!
I am utterly thrilled and so grateful to have won this award! Its the first time I’ve EVER entered any kind of competition, so this is truly exciting! Although truth be told, I cant think of any scenario where this would not be exciting!
I mean, you merely have to just do a quick squizz through the panel of judges to understand that this was a Continue reading
Side note: That’s a mouthful for a post title, huh?! So many facets and intricacies wrapped up into ONE birth!
It’s only three days out from our little Coconutty turning two years old (I wrote this on Sunday already), and you bet Im neck deep in the good old baby files. Its where you’ll usually find me slumped over in a sentimental heap whenever the birthday of any of our children looms. Granted, this time, the files don’t exactly go waaaay back – I mean girlfriend is only about to clock two…but if you know anything about me by now, its that I take a serious amount of photographs. And trust me, there are some magic shots in there! And I totally will share. BUt thats not what Im here for today.
Nope. Today Im sharing Yuriko- Mae’s birth story. Yessss, I know I’ve “told” her birth story before, through my own heart, all the depths of my thoughts and experiences that day, stitched together in my words, with photographs apexing the very sentiment of it all. And I’m ever grateful to the many of you who’ve Continue reading
So, you should know by now, that I am a comic book lover/die hard…and Im not talking about being a pseudo fan here because I suddenly loved the movies that cropped up over the over years. (and there’s nothing wrong with that if you are) But I’m a bonafide fan from the good ol’ days where as a youngster I would tag along with my brother to go get the much anticipated latest shipment of comics, or rock up in town at crazy-o-clock in the morning, just to be the first at Reader’s Den, to get our grubby little hands on a 1st issue. So it goes without saying that I’ve also had a piqued interest in ComicCon all the years too (yes, Im a nerd and I cant lie)…In fact, to this day I still get super excited when I watch my US family prep and attend the cosplay events over there. Now, the highly anticipated Comic Con Africa 2019 welcomes the youngest member of the family to its spectacular four day offering, KidsCon!!
What is KidsCon, I hear you ask? Well, it’s a convention/festival of sorts that is going to bring the whole family together at Continue reading
Guys, we did it! Can I get a halleluja! Despite the levels of insane exhaustion right now. In the face of the crazy schedules we have in our lives right now; with work mixed in with small babies, breastfeeding, pumping, big kids, and 3am-5am feeding sessions (Lawd, give me strength!)…we (finally) pulled off that do-over birthday celebration for our baby girl!
Remember? Our eldest Morgy had her birthday slap bang in the midst of all the chaos when the black plague hit our home back in May. We didn’t have any big plans for parties that day, except for just family coming over to wish her. But if you know the Continue reading
