  • Signing off for the weekend... . This week has been rough😥 We deal with life yet we still have to go on working, being parents and all the other things expected of us but YOU GUYS have showered us with love and support. Our Instafam, our friends, family, our tribe, our people! ❤️❤️❤️ . . We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Life’s challenges are instantly easier to deal with when you aren’t going at them alone. . . So, this is weekend, I plan on filling my cup by doing something I love... . . Treasuring our precious memories. We do have a birthday celebration or two to attend but for the most part you’ll find me tucked away in this little me corner ❤️ printing long overdue photos, writing messages to our girls and filling their journals with all my heart. . . Hope you guys have the best weekend too and may the kids all sleep in tomorrow morning 😉 . . . . . . . . . #fridayfeelings #weekendready #makingmemories❤️ #chasingslow #slowlivingjourney #slowingdown #justamamma #momswhoblog #samommyblogger #lifestyleblogger #motherhood #oureverydaymoments #uniteinmotherhood #momtogs #makeportraits #cameramama #writeyouonmyheart #journals #inspiredmotherhood #honestmothering #momdiaries #photofamily #bigfamilylife #familyof5 #hyggehome #homeinteriors #indoorplantsdecor #homeofficeideas #cornersofmyhome

We’re featuring @annies_baking_club on the blog today because their home baking kits is some of the most fun we’ve had this year. . .

  • So my dad had a heart attack... (He is okay and home now, recovering❤️) . . Even writing this seems unreal but that was what happened this weekend and it was such a wake-up call! . . My dad is only 60, he doesn't suffer from high cholesterol, he could lose a couple of kgs but for the most part, he is healthy. He even does regular Vitality tests that always show good results. My dad does, however, work for himself and although he absolutely loves what he does his job includes a fair amount of traveling, late nights, tight deadlines and heaps of stress PLUS he still has 2 kids in university - so add financial stress to that list too. . . Doesn't all of the above sound familiar and all too "normal"? It sure rings true in our home... . . Mr. Perfect and I are both entrepreneurs and we lead pretty much the same lifestyle. Our excuse - This is only a phase, a season... Things will change but looking back at my childhood I remember seeing my dad lead the same life and it's never changed. In fact, life became more fast-paced and results-driven as the years passed by and now it eventually led us here. . . The scary thing is somehow this way of living has become the norm. I don't just see it in my dad but also in our home and in many of our friends. . . We are overworked, exhausted, strained, burdened, anxious, worn out, burned out BUT we push through, we go on believing things will change. . . This weekend I took a hard look at our life and I realized . . • THINGS WON'T CHANGE but I CAN! • . . No one has the promise of tomorrow and making the needed changes will take time but we need to make them today. We are on a new journey of change, more motivated than ever to live our lives better and with far less stress and pressure. . . I don’t know how yet, but I’ll keep you guys posted ❤️ and PLEASE if you’ve got any advice, we are all ears.🙏🏻 . . . . . . . . . . #wellnesswednesday #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #stressmanagement #slowlivingforlife #betterlife #minimalistliving #hearthealth #healthylivingtips #fatherdaughterlove #dadsanddaughters #agingwell #slowdown #alifewelllived #entrepreneur #southafrican #wellnessjourney #justamamma #heartattack #fitfamilylife
  • 📣 #AD • "From casual to Queen B in her new Bubblegummers footwear!" . . Our little Lia is such a shoe girl so when we got asked to be apart of the @bubblegummers_za Spring / Summer launch, she said YES of course!!!!! . . Mamas, these shoes are all kinds of wonderful... 💕 (From the moment you open the box). . . ❤️ Sanitised, Bubblegum scented soles. Yeah, you read that right... No shoe has ever smelled this good. ❤️ Non-slip, Bubble grip that holds your little one’s feet perfectly in place, ready to run and explore without missing a tricky little sidestep. ❤️ Years of experience, technology, and care goes into every shoe AND the designs are "extra" in the best way possible. Can you guess Lia's favourite pair?😜 . . Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing our Gigantic Adventures testing our Bubblegummers to the extreme 💪🏻- so keep an eye on the special highlight section we've made too. . . Did you know about Bubblegummers shoes before today? What do you think mamas? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ForGiganticAdventures #Bubblegummers #BubblegumScented #AdventuresWithBubblegummers #KidsShoes #KidsFashion #HappyFeet #HappyKids #southafrican #fashionforkids #tellmetuesday #shoelovers #shoegram #mommybloggers #productreview #summerfashion2019 #shoesforkids #girlmomlife #southafricanmom #pretoria #happygirlsaretheprettiest #footweardesign #toddlermom #motherof3 #bigfamilylife #kidswears
  • WARNING: Getting very serious for a Monday morning but my heart can’t move on until I share this... . . • Precious moments • This weekend went from lighthearted to serious in seconds after an unexpected family emergency (I won’t be sharing details at the moment - but we are all okay) . . One word that’s been echoing in my heart ever since has been PRECIOUS. . . It’s so easy to forget how fragile life is, how truly temporary our existence is, how precious we need to be about our time and how important it is to fill our moments with what matters most. For us that’s family, our girls and the precious few years we get to spend with them. . . We want to be intentional about what we put into the world and when you read our posts we want you to long for the joy found in your OWN family not the unattainable we all are confronted with daily ❤️ . . So, today is a new day, a new week and a new opportunity to make precious (not perfect) memories with the ones we love and to find our joy in the everyday... . . That will be a new goal from today, for everyday - shouldn’t be too difficult with these 3 around😉 📸 @madisonandwestlifestyle . . . . . . . . . . . #motherhood #oureverydaymoments #childofig #uniteinmotherhood #candidchildhood #simplychildren #childrenofinstagram #cutestkid #makeportraits #kidsforreal #dearphotographer #takemyheartdear #honestmotherhood #writeyouonmyheart #magicofchildhood #instaphoto #photooftheday #mondaymotivation
