The festive season is well and truly here and you know what that means... it's time for Secret Santa gifts! I think most of us think of bland and boring gifts when we think of Secret Santa but it really doesn't need to be that way at all. I've curated a gift guide...
Gosh wasn't the weather this past weekend just amazing, I think everyone in Johannesburg had a braai at some point. We had a lovely lunch outside with my folks and I whipped up this delicious simple summer salad; its light but big on flavour and I've got to say, the...
For the longest time (basically, since we bought our home) we've wanted to tackle a bathroom renovation or two. They were old, dated and dark, and really didn't spark joy of any kind. Well we finally tackled it and I am so thrilled with how our bathroom renovation on...
I know, you're probably thinking that all I do is redecorate all the rooms in our home... and you're right, I do, it's my toxic trait as all the cool kids say. But truly, the girls playroom decor needed a bit of an upgrade now that they're older. We initially did up...
Is there anything more classic than a white shirt? I'm embarrassed to admit that I've only recently added one to my wardrobe... and I'm loving it! It took me a week or so but now I feel super confident when it comes to different ways to style it and I've realised how...
Can you believe that Father's Day is around the corner already?! Well technically in just a little over than two weeks but you know what I'm like, I prep for things way in advance... and if you do too then you'll love today's post because it's a super comprehensive...
There are very few places as grounding and as relaxing as being in the bush, it really is my happy place. We've been going to Kruger for years (literally since I was a little kid) but have been very slack at exploring the game reserves on our doorstep. Last month Dan...
When Aria told us that she wanted an Encanto party to celebrate her birthday this year I thought that it would be so easy. Of course there would be tons of Encanto decor out, the movie is such a hit! I was very, very wrong. There was nothing. Not a balloon, not a...
Grocery shopping... a necessary evil, but one that I secretly enjoy. I love finding good deals and new launches on the shelves; the only part that I don't like is seeing the costs add up once I get to the till. I know that I can always use some grocery shopping tips...
When we asked Maia what kind of party she wanted, she was adamant (after changing her mind a few times) that she wanted a piggy party. And no, not Peppa Pig, actual pigs, she loves them! Now you know me, I love a good party. I really enjoy putting it together, the...
Gosh, baked oats are by far my favourite breakfast. They're filling, aren't a lot of effort to make, there are so many combinations and it literally tastes like cake; what's not to love?! I decided to share my fave apple pie baked oats with a yummy yogurt topping...
I can't be the only one who gets bored with the same dinner schedule week after week, it all becomes a bit monotonous. This year I decided to try and spice things up a little by trying some new recipes, nothing crazy, just one a month. I've always seen pictures of...
I love cous cous, it's a great grain to have with a meal instead of rice, adds great texture and can be the main ingredient in an amazing salad... like today! This cous cous salad is really easy to make and a total crowd pleaser, plus it's really easy to jazz up and...
Oh how I love my airfryer, I've had it for two weeks and can't believe I didn't get one sooner. I bought the Milex XXXL and it's been a dream to use and the perfect size for our family of 4. I've been showing you a few things that I've been whipping up over on my...
It's back to school time and you know what that means (besides labeling 393593 different items and trying to get your kid out of the door in time); lunchboxes need to get packed. Let's be honest, it's no small feat, and the motivation and inspiration starts to wear...
It's been a long time coming, but our garden renovation is finally (okay, 95%) complete! There has been a lot of blood, sweat and tears... and money poured into this massive overhaul but it's been so, so worth it on every level. We spend pretty much every afternoon...
