Where To Even Begin? I don’t even know where to begin with this story; but I had shared a bit about how covid and other happenings left our family with some new realities, especially when it comes to our financial well-being, and how we had had to downgrade from our then beautiful, black 7-seater Jeep to a much smaller 5-seater…
Continue readingWe recently downgraded from our beloved 7seater Jeep to a smaller car 🚗. Yep! 😬☺️ CRAZY TIMES! Man, it’s been such a crazy year for us (story for another day…or not). But I love being able to share not just highs but the lows as well, to really normalise the ebb and flow of life… We’re a generation that is…

Just a reminder, beautiful friends….it’s ok to want different things for us and ours. It’s ok if people don’t understand or agree with our decisions or way of life (as long as it’s not harming anyone, of course) We don’t have to be apologetic to people that don’t understand the reason for our choices.

Not everything will apply to every single person, of course, because we’re all facing varying situations. Also, please bear with me if you’re not a parent, as some of the tips have…

It’s that time of the year where most of us are making plans for the year, and beyond. I’ve definitely been in that mode for the past few weeks. But. I must say, something about dreaming and planning for the future actually tends to take me away from the present a little. So, I’ve had to intentionally slow myself down…
Continue readingI love this image of Shkeila Lanise so much One of the things I’ve come to dislike about living in an urban city like Joburg is that we’ve become so westernised that something as natural as breastfeeding is frowned upon. Funny enough, when I’m back in the Eastern Cape, or even in Soweto, I don’t think twice about feeding my…
