Welcome to Mascara and Mimosas South African Parenting Blog!

Raising our girls is one of the best, but also one of the most challenging things Dan and I have ever done. We’ve been learning along the way and growing as parents ever since we saw those two blue lines showed up all those years ago and I love sharing some of that with you! From potty training to lunchbox snacks, and birthday party ideas to our favorite books and more; I know that you’ll find both valuable information and also encouragement and love in these posts.
