I recently received a Cricut Joy Xtra (you can see my unboxing and first creation here) and I’ve been loving using it for all sorts of little crafts around the house. I’m definitely still learning but I thought that I would start sharing what I create because if I can...
I’m very late to the party, but I’ve placed a few orders with SHEIN recently and I thought I’d share what I ordered and my review of them. It’s nothing massive, I’m not about to do a haul of boxes and boxes, but I definitely rate some of the things that I’ve ordered....
Sci-Bono is one of our favorite spots in Johannesburg, the girls absolutely love it! If you haven’t heard of Sci-Bono, here’s a reel I made a while ago about it. It came as no surprise when Aria asked to have a science party at Sci-Bono for her birthday this year. She...
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'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...
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...
You know how they say that it takes a village? I feel like that village expands exponentially the moment your child starts school, pre-school included! There are so many wonderful people that play important roles in our childrens lives and it's always lovely to give...
As caregivers, parents and guardians we are always on the go, always rushing from one thing to another, that so often other things fall through the cracks, happens to me all the time! One of these things is child immunisation. It’s happened to me so often, after the...
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...
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...
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...
Guys, the December holidays are around the corner - can you believe it?! And while it's a lot of pool time, beach visits and ice cream in the garden, it's also a lot of "I'm booorrrrrreeeed" and parents needing a few minutes to have a cup of coffee in peace, amirite?...
Remember those days when you swore your child wouldn’t wear any character clothing? Oh how I laugh now! As much as I love a very toned-down look personally, my girls love bright, colourful and LOUD so I can’t help but oblige with a few specific pieces in their...
You know what little bookworms my girls are – they basically devour books! While I literally haven’t read a novel in the last 5 odd years (terrible, I know), I am more than happy to read book after book to the girls and it’s definitely one of their favorite things to...
