Rollerskate Guide: Where to buy them & what you need to know before you do!

Posted on May 14, 2021 by MilkAdmin

Whats up, my hunnies!? Alrighty….you’ve asked for it (at least some of you have 😉 )…so I’m here to answer. Where do I get my skates? And guys, I’m only too eager to share this because, the more, the merrier!!??

If you’re with me on Instagram, you know ive reignited an old love of mine – rollerskates! And that shizz honestly makes me so happy, i would wish that kind of feeling on EVERYONE!And it seems my love and craving for rollerskates of all these years since my childhood was not done in a vacuum! There is an entire global community of folk who appreciate the joy and sheer bliss that comes with a pair of rollerskates! And so after years of searching, and apparently a global shortage of stock that came with increased demand over the 2020 lockdown period, the stars aligned and I found not one but TWO local South African places to buy your very own pair from! (there are other places, but these two I found after much shopping around, have great service and value for money, and I’ve had a wonderful personal experience with them!)

BUT WAIT, there’s more! : ) Not only will I share that, but also share some tips how to choose your size (especially wide feet folk, like me, who are not so sure!), what type of skate you’ll have to choose between (flat or heeled), and what to look out for in your skate when choosing. And bonus, where to get some dope ass local, hand made toe caps! ; )

And yes, I AM A BEGINNER skater (loud and proud), but thats also why i feel like I could be helpful; We’re possibly on a very similar journey, and I’ve very likely had similar questions and struggles to you, not so long ago. So from one beginner skater to another… 😉

Easy Personalized Doormat DIY – Merry And Bright

Posted on December 1, 2020 by MilkAdmin

So I made no bones about how much I adored our “Hey Pumpkin” personalized door mat from Georgie and Moon. I had great intentions of making my own, but time and energy was just not there. However, even after that, the itch to create never left me, so about 2 weekends ago, I finally got to scratch that itch and ade one myself…all with things I already had around the house!

So if you’d like to make one too, here you go! Now, noted, this would be SO much easier if you actually had a cricut or silhouette machine, then this would seriously take you only about 10mins or so. But if like me, you dont, fret not, its still possible, and easy!

This is all Continue reading →

My SheIn Shopping Review/ Experience

Posted on November 27, 2020 by MilkAdmin

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 November 12, 2020 by MilkAdmin

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 →

Posted on October 11, 2020 by MilkAdmin

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 September 2, 2020 by MilkAdmin

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 August 19, 2020 by MilkAdmin

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…
