“My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices.” – Ruth Handler. A vision set 60 years ago that still rings true but one that Barbie has managed to BETTER over the years. As we celebrate our girl’s big birthday, we should take a minute to look back at the past 60 years… It’s no secret, we are MASSIVE…

We haven’t posted a fashion feature in a while so, what better time than right now! Most mamas are probably spring cleaning those closets and looking for the latest trends in kids summer fashion ’18. It’s no surprise, we LOVE Lullaby Rock Apparel. Not just the brand but the entire team behind this rocking, local label. In fact, it was our first fashion feature for littles in 2016 and I am lucky enough to call the gorgeous founder and designer,…
Supporting local and buying proudly South African is a choice we made a few years ago, around the time our eldest Eliana was born. Little by little we made changes, buying more consciously and building a home (and especially a closet) filled with items made by our fellow countrymen. Step one was shopping small, have a look at “The Ultimate list of proudly South African Clothing Brands for Kids” in a post from a few weeks ago. Step two has…
One of the most asked question we get is; “Where did you buy your girls those outfits?” Whether at church in their Sunday bests, or comfy casual exploring over weekends… We always get stopped and asked about what they’re wearing. The answer stays the same; proudly South African of course. We made a choice to support local first and that’s why 80% of what the girls wear is manufactured in South Africa. The other 20% goes for items we can’t…
I have been part of some wonderful campaigns but never has one been so close to my heart as the #lovemoreZA movement. It all started with a WhatsApp and a play date… I’ve always admired Michelle, the mama maker and creative force behind Mayalief. We met many years ago at the Flair Baby Market and what started out as a customer relationship soon became a friendship. We share similar values and a passion for our families and mothering. Working together…
When it comes to hair accessories for girls, we don’t look any further than Mia Mae. Surina is the talented and creative mama behind this cute, proudly South African kids accessory range. From delicately knitted bonnets and blankets to pretty headbands, hair clips and hair ties… Surina makes it all and you’re sure to love them as much as we do. In 2017, after being retrenched, Surina became a mom for the 1st time. Like a lot of mompreneurs, the plan…
Definitely my number 1 find from last year’s Mama Magic Baby Expo… Everli Baby! When it comes to breathtakingly gorgeous baby fashion you won’t find any better than this.
