We love a good gift guide. Especially one created WITH the kids and seeing as we've just celebrated Ava's 4th birthday we thought it would be a great time to share all the presents she's been enjoying and playing with the most! Maybe her TOP 10 will provide a few gift...
It's not always easy knowing where to buy eco-friendly toys in South Africa... Which brands are "green" and how do I find them hidden amongst the countless others. Don't worry mama, I've done the digging for you and found the best eco toys from the most reliable...
When it comes to supporting local, one of the easiest ways we, as parents, can do so, is by buying wooden toys made in South Africa! There's just something extra special about a toy lovingly crafted from nature... It's a win for your child, and a win for your home -...
It's been a long, challenging year for teachers and more than ever we need to show our appreciation! It's not about big, expensive gifts but rather about saying "thank you" in a thoughtful manner. Whether you go for homemade gifts, a handwritten note or something from...

Christmas is around the corner and in our home we like spoiling one another with a little surprise under the tree. I love seeing the girl's eyes light up as they unwrap a special toy they've been asking for all year and nothing beats playing together on the carpet...
Our little Ava is one and for her 1st birthday we celebrated with a beautiful party (more coming soon) and her own room. A cozy space all to herself wasn't the only gift she got. Ava received a few wonderful presents and I taught it would be handy to share them with...
Now that we’ve got the babies and toddlers covered it’s time to move on to the Pre-Schoolers. It’s not easy finding proudly South African handmade goods that are also pre-schooler approved but we have some good ones sure to put a smile on those “big kid’s” faces......
Yesterday we shared Baby’s Christmas Wish list, today is all about the toddlers! Probably the easiest and hardest crowd to please... There are loads of options available, now just to make sure everything chosen is fun, durable and “in” with the 1-3year old crowd. So...
