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…
Happy mid-week everyone. Here are my favourite links of the moment. Enjoy! Very practical career advice from Joanna Goddard from Cup of Jo. This little guy sure loves reading (so cute)! Do these things in your 30’s. A cancer survivour designs the empathy cards she wishes she’d received. A reminder of how models & celebs […] Read more…
Lately I have been wearing a soak-off gel overlay on my nails (Gelish & Polish Pro) more often than polish. Purely because settling into a new home is h.a.r.d on nails & nail polish does not stand much of a chance when dipped into water & used as tools for packing, unpacking & organising. But I’ve missed […] 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.

My latest fun ‘project’ is a really awesome one that I’ve been wanting to do for some time now. It is called… [drum roll] …. SIX HAIR STYLES IN SIX MONTHS This sounds a bit crazy at first, but fear not. I’m not talking extreme changes like hair chameleon Rihanna. This is more like an […] Read more…
Tots can easily identify a potential friend. If you have or had toddlers, you will know exactly what I mean. They simply look for someone with a specific mode of transport (car seat, stroller, mini bicycle); more or less the same height (dog, fellow human being) or a shared activity (play ground, party) & they […] Read more…
I love fresh fruit & veg, but if you told me 15 years ago that I would (happily) drink raw vegetable juices, I would have chuckled. Why would you drink veg juice? I eat a balanced diet & love chewing my veg, so why drink it? The truth is that we (as a family) don’t […] Read more…
