We are a young, fun-loving, crazy, disciple-making, intentional, home-schooling, adventure-seeking, purpose-pursuing family living in the heart of Jozi yet trying to do life at our own pace.
This blog is about sharing our stories, our thoughts, our experiences, our lives; hoping that they will help, encourage and inspire other families out there.....as we all do this adulting thing :)
“It’s easier to build up a child, than to repair an adult. Your words and actions have power in your child’s life. Use them wisely.” A reminder that as we’re raising children, we’re actually shaping human lives 👀 And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, especially in various therapy/counselling scenarios, is that much of who we become in adulthood 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. We are ultimately responsible for own…

My husband and I initially wanted to have “as many kids as we can”. Then that…

It’s holiday season again, and many of us will be travelling across the country to spend some well-needed resting time, or to visit loved ones! For us, travelling has turned into a whole new game, because we have four little humans to consider. So, I thought I should share some of the things that have been helpful for us when travelling with little ones.

I fell at gym today! Our workout started with 5 laps around the gym….I fell on my first one… What a stupid, hard fall! The surface was a bit uneven and I wasn’t paying attention and I fell so hard….like, flat on the pavement y’all 🙆🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ And of course, this was followed by the instructor and fellow gymers congregating around…

I know I usually joke about my teabag boobs 😛😅 but today I actually wanna appreciate these sisters 😅. I realised the other day that when I look at my boobs, I see the teabags they are and even though I’ve accepted and love them, I was always looking at them in a negative light. But it struck me the…

The phrase about “greener grass” has come to communicate that we shouldn’t desire what our neighbour has; but I had a new thought the other day.
