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...
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...
My heart cannot handle that my baby girl is five years old, a whole handful! This time last year we were in hard lockdown, we weren't even able to go on a walk in our neighbourhood and so Aria had a very low key (but really lovely) birthday with just the 4 of us. This...
Our Maia papaya turned two years old... and of course we had a celebration! These days birthday parties look very different but to be honest, I'm kind of loving it and I don't know if I will ever go back to having a guest list a mile long. For Maia's little...
Guys, how is my little sprog already three years old?! Her birthday was just over a month after Maia was born and so I didn't have as much time (or energy TBH) to plan her party and so I was feeling a little despondent about it all until my sister suggested I do a...
Spending tons of money on our child's birthday party just isn't something that we feel comfortable doing, but just because we don't drop a ton of money, doesn't mean that Aria's dinosaur party on a budget wasn't fun or special. In fact, it was pretty awesome! After I...
Well Aria's birthday celebrations have come and gone... and I've probably picked up 5kg just from the sheer amount of cake that has been floating around! I've never been a great cake maker, but this year I challenged myself to bake one for each of her little...
