Somehow for about seven years, our room did not receive much attention. It was always liveable, but rather sad looking. Sad pedestals, no headboard… Needless to say that when we moved into our (first grown-up) home in April 2015, I wanted to give our room some special attention. The ‘shell’ was lovely to start off […] Read more…
My 2016 officially started this week. Well sort of. I’ve been dropping our little munchkin off for a few hours of holiday care since Tuesday.

I can still remember very clearly: sitting in the ante-natal class hearing all about how (post-birth) you will eventually find the ‘New Normal’. Fast forward 2.5 years & I still ask myself weekly – if not daily – so what & where is the “New Normal”? Maybe it is because we decided that I will […] Read more…
The annual CUPPA for CANSA campaign makes me very excited – it is the perfect reason (or excuse) to get your girls together & have tea while you’re doing something for a truly worthy cause. You don’t have to be grown-up or fancy or the most experience hostess out there. The important bit is to […] Read more…
I am totally over the moon about sharing our Jozi apartment tour with you today, but I’m also slightly nervous.
