If there’s one thing that I love doing, it’s redecorating a room… and this time, the girl’s bedroom was up. While I loved the bright and fun colours that were in the bedroom, it was looking tired and was definitely due for a refresh. After some back and forth, we...
Every now and then I speak about how we budget month to month and the amount of DMs I receive after posting, asking how we do it is always mind blowing. I’ve been promising this blog post for so long (like most blog posts) and finally, here it is. How to create your...
Without a doubt, one of our favorite family holidays is going to the bush, especially the Kruger National Park. I’ve been going since I was a child and it’s so special that I can take my own children now and relive the experiences through them. But going to the Kruger...
If there’s one thing we go through at warp speed in this house, it’s snacks... and these pizza roll-ups are a current favourite, plus they work well as an easy lunchbox snack too. Win win. Between the girls’ lunchboxes, constant snacking after school and Dan and I...
Remember back in the good ol’ blogging days, every month there would be a favourites post? I used to devour those, they were always so fun, full of info and I loved finding hidden beauty gems through them. I’m not sure why they kind of faded away but I reckon it’s...
Clearly, I’m on a Loreal kick at the moment (I recently reviewed the Telescopic Lift mascara), but so many of their recent launches have gone viral, and I’m a sucker for anything that’s hyped up. The Loreal True Match Plumping Tinted Serum has make-up influencers in a...
If there’s a viral make up product, and it’s available in South Africa, you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll go and hunt it down! And that’s exactly what I did for the Loreal Telescopic Lift mascara. I saw it in so many TikToks, and it looked incredible. When...
I love a wearable trend but I was hesitant to style a denim midi skirt I won’t lie. BUT after some hits and misses, I am obsessed with how versatile a denim midi is and how easy it is to wear. I tried on quite a few denim midi skirts before buying one and...
As usual, our Aria knew exactly what kind of celebration she wanted to celebrate turning 7; a fairy party! Which let's be honest, is very on brand for her, and as expected, she wanted to be super involved in the planning process (you can read more about how I learnt...
If you're looking for a cost effective but super cute party favour (or birthday ring sweet) then this post is for you! When Aria spotted a version of these butterfly candy party favours she decided that these are what she would take to school for her birthday ring....
I knew I loved my air fryer but it wasn't until I tasted this air fryer cheeseburger that I realised how much. Truly it was so yum, the girls and Dan agreed! And the best part of it all is that it was so easy and so quick, your burger night is about to level up. I've...
I've thrown a fair amount of parties for my girls over the years (you can see them here) but I think this painting party for Maia my be one of my favourites, it was such fun! Venue This was the first time that we used a venue as opposed to having it in our local park...
If you know me, you'll know that I will use any excuse to decorate and celebrate, and the day of love is not exception! I always do something fun for the girls on Valentine's Day and wanted to share some of that with you with some free Valentine's Day printables that...
Last week sometime I mentioned on Instagram stories that over the last few weeks I decluttered our home, as in every single cupboard, basket, nook and cranny. This is something I do every January and it makes such a difference to our home in so many ways. After...
Can you believe in a few days the new school year begins?! After a bit of a rough start last year, this year we've really concentrated on how to emotionally prepare for the first day of school (and beyond). There are no guarantees that it's going to work but I do...
The way you guys wanted my mom's mince pie recipe was intense! To be honest, it's ridiculously simple but more often than not, those are the most tasty treats, right? One of my earliest memories of Christmas is of my mom baking dozens and dozens of mince pies come 1...
