  • When friends I haven't seen in a while come to visit. Lots of laughter, wine and a great catch up session. We might not see each other often but it's great knowing that we still have each other's backs, that we can share our thoughts and be there to support one another. @qanitaj you just left when we took these pics. @violabotha we missed you today. Let's not wait too long for another meet up ladies.#friends #girlfriends #friendship #friendshipgoals #catchup #laughter #social #weekend #drinks #thatauthenticfeeling #mytinymoments #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #liveyourlife #livecolorfully #simplicity #seeksimplicity #reclaimthehappy #theartofslowliving #darlingweekend #lookbook #candid #mom #momlife #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger
  • 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 - 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖!! @vidaecaffe_official ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How's everyone doing now that the kids are back at school? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To be honest the first two weeks since school commenced has been flippen exhausting. My brain is fried with information from the primary and high school. We had our first parent-teacher meeting last night and our work is cut out for this year. And when I say "our work" I mean both parents and kids. Yes parental involvement is fundamental at both schools. The high school meeting is tomorrow night but I know they going to pile it on. Lea is finding her feet but the difference between primary and high school is huge and it can be overwhelming at times. So much more responsibility on the kids. There is no designated class teacher and basically all the subject teachers will send the students emails on a daily stipulating their requests. So being organised and keeping a diary is crucial. The school hours are longer followed by extra murals and societies. Don't get me started on the homework issue as the amount they get is just freaking ridiculous. I can see that school tires them out because the minute their heads hit their pillows at night, they are lights out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway I know that things will go better once we have all adjusted but for now I am sooo longing for another holiday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #parenting #gentleparenting #mom #momlife #honestmotherhood #justme #real #givemeabreak #thatauthenticfeeling #mystyle #makeyousmilestyle #lookbook #coffee #mytinymoments #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #our_everyday_moments #documentinglife #simplicity #seeksimplicity #reclaimthehappy #theartofslowliving #lookbook #candid #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger
  • As some of you might remember - a few months ago I won a party at @worldofadventure_root44 . We hosted Mika's 10th birthday party there in December. Now I know I am more than a month late in posting these memorable snaps but please forgive me but my December was a bit crazy. Mika wanted a Llama themed party with a Mexican Fiesta flair. @worldofadventure_root44 was the perfect venue for a summer party and the kids had an absolute blast. Also how gorgeous is this Llama cake created by Michelle Groenewald from @cupcake_tarts_ . Decor was done by yours truly.

  • **The situation at the moment** ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First day back at school and already 1 kid received books to be covered. This year I am teaching Mika how to cover her own books as I am refusing to burn the midnight oil going solo in covering books. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did your kids receive their books today and are you busy covering it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backtoschool #schoolbooks #school #books #teach #kids #kidsforreal #magicofchildhood #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #love #loveauthentic #thatauthenticfeeling #happiness #thesugarjar #petitejoys #livethelittlethings #our_everyday_moments #documentinglife #mom #momlife #honestmotherhood #camera_mama #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger
  • Off day - yah yah you thinking how is that possible if I returned to work yesterday. Well my beautiful people that is the perks of having a cool boss. And to think she doesn't even have kids of her own but she is so understanding and family-centred. Lea is off to Grade 8 orientation today so I'm dropping her off and picking her up later. But before then we stopped for a quick breakfast at @limetreecafect ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh and completely off topic - I just love it when my coffee comes with free biscuits 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #summer #justme #real #thisisme #thatauthenticfeeling #mystyle #makeyousmilestyle #lookbook #coffee #breakfast #mytinymoments #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #liveyourlife #livecolorfully #simplicity #seeksimplicity #reclaimthehappy #theartofslowliving #darlingweekend #lookbook #candid #mom #momlife #honestmotherhood #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #southafricanblogger
  • Who's all back at work tomorrow and are you ready? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Damn I'm not and can do with another holiday but this time without the kids. Hubs and I are having a day date without the kids this afternoon as we flippen need it to clear our minds before we start work tomorrow. Whilst the kids are at their grandparents' and driving them insane for a change. But then again grandparents spoil and they get away with so much over there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Good luck to all who return back to work tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thisisus #couplegoals #marriage #marriagegoals #date #qualitytime #love #loveauthentic #loveintentionally #theartofslowliving #thehappynow #reclaimthehappy #humansofjoy #feelfreefeed #darlingmovement #darlingweekend #thatsdarling #petitejoys #ourcandidlife #feelfreefeed #littlestoriesofmylife #parents #mom #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger #capetown
  • We are dog lovers and our pets are an integral part of our family. But owning a pet can be quite costly. Our monthly bill for food and treats are just under a R1000. Then there is the 3-month course of @bravectosouthafrica tablets to control fleas and ticks which amounts to R650 for both dogs. Annual cost of deworming, vaccinations, grooming (nail clipping and shampoo) is just under R2000. Plus recently one of our pooches injured her paw pad and her vet bill amounted to R1200 (this is reasonable in comparison to what we paid in the past for other medical treatments). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know some people give out much more as they still have behavior school costs, dental and heaven knows what. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of our friends so much want to own pets but they simply can't afford having both kids and pets to care for. But we love our dogs and to have them as part our family for a long time; we need to give them lots of love and the best care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have pets and approximately how much is your monthly pet bill? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jackrussellterrier #jackrussell #jackrussellmoments #dogs #doglovers #pets #petcare #instadogs #family #mytribe #simplychildren #childhoodunplugged #livethelittlethings #livecolorfully #reallife #love #happiness #reclaimthehappy #petitejoys #mom #honestmotherhood #momswithcameras #littlestoriesofmylife #our_everyday_moments #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger
  • Oh Hello 2020!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Living my best life pool side. How's 2020 treating you so far? As you know I don't make New Year's resolutions but have chosen a word to guide me for the year. My word for 2020 is HABIT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think I've started off pretty well by getting into the habit to show off my curves. Isn't my Wonderfit swimwear from @miladyssa just beautiful? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #notsposored #newyear #newword #goals #summer #poolside #justme #thisisme #thatauthenticfeeling #curves #mystyle #makeyousmilestyle #lookbook #trend #mytinymoments #heartfluttermoments #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #livecolorfully #simplicity #reclaimthehappy #theartofslowliving #documentinglife #momlife #motherhoodrising #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #southafricanblogger
  • 2019 you were tough - with you came loss and struggles, you challenged me emotionally, physically and mentally. But through the dark cracks the light was shining. I learnt so many valuable lessons which brought perspective, I met some awesome people who inspired me and I had the privilege to experience new and wonderful things. For that I am so grateful. So as I bid farewell to another year; I look back and reflect on what has been, cannot be changed and what I was blessed with. It is the end of a journey and it is all in the past. I now look forward to the future and as I await 2020 and a new decade - it is yet but a mystery but I am oh so ready to embrace the unknown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bring on 2020!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newyearseve #endof2019 #2020vision #newgoals #embrace #beyou #doyou #beyourself #bekind #dream #grow #lessons #goals #inspire #inspiration #reclaimthehappy #thehappynow #theartofslowliving #welivetoexplore #exploretocreate #liveauthentic #liveyourlife #livethelittlethings #mom #momlife #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #southafricanblogger
  • Take me back to the beach... to catch those early morning waves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As Capetonians we are truly blessed to live just a few kilometres away from the most spectacular coastline. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #summer #holiday #capetown #beach #waves #swim #shells #starfish #familytime #qualitytime #kids #magicofchildhood #exploretocreate #candidphotography #momtogs #our_everyday_moments #thatsdarling #petitejoys #flashesofdelight #littlestoriesofmylife #documentinglife #livecolorfully #livethelittlethings #momlife #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger

  • My kids are older and no longer believe in the existence of Santa Clause (yip Mika figured it out a few months ago and had so many questions and doubts that we had to come clean and spill the beans). After all she is 10 and so much wiser. Although they no longer believe in Santa and know the real meaning of Christmas; we still keep the magic of Christmas going. Yesterday we baked cookies together, wrapped half of the gifts and currently busy wrapping the other half with Christmas tunes playing in the background. The girls still continue to make it special for their younger second cousins who believe in Santa and Brent and I still keep their gifts a secret. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Christmas lunch is at my mom's place this year and we all bring our speciality meal. We doing last minute prep and I will finish off the dessert later this afternoon. It is a Christmas Eve tradition that we all go down to my mom's later to set up the table decor. Then we end up watching Christmas movies and just taking it easy. No rushing and running about to get last minute items. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With it being Christmas Eve let me wish you all a blessed Christmas as I will not be posting anything on my feed tomorrow. My time and energy will be devoted to family and friends. Ok perhaps I will post a few Intastories of what I'm eating 😂😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are you spending Christmas tomorrow and do you have any special family traditions? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #christmaseve #magicofchristmas #familytradition #mytribe #family #mom #girlmom #momlife #momswithcameras #photography #momtogs #husband #kids #kidsforreal #magicofchildhood #our_everyday_moments #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #flashesofdelight #littlestoriesofmylife #documentinglife #liveauthentic #livecolorfully #livethelittlethings #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #samomblogger #southafricanblogger
