  • Don’t let that sweet grin fool you... This little cheeky chop has been giving her mama all her days! . . After weeks of gentle weaning we are down to only morning feeds (and sometimes over the weekends - no feeds at all) BUT when Ava wants some mama’s milk, she wants it now! . . She’ll climb into my shirt, pull it down or simply tuck and twist on my nipples till she gets one out - ouch🥵 It’s definitely more of a comfort thing than anything else and I’m not really sure how we’re going to tackle this last chapter of weaning. . . Maybe just go cold turkey and start wearing polo necks 24/7🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfedbaby #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingproblems #breastfeedingsupport #normalizebreastfeeding #momsupportingmoms #honestmotherhood #realmotherhood #motherhoodmoments #rawmotherhood #justamamma #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodinspired #motherhoodisdarling #mamamoments #momdiaries #motherhoodalive #themomcorner #themommydiary #weaning #momentsinmotherhood #featuremama #momunity #memoirsofmotherhood
  • WORLD BOOK DAY (thank you @mommiesdaze) 🤗 Do you still read? . . Morning mamas! It’s cold, wet and gloomy in Pretoria and if I could, I would keep the girls tucked away under the covers getting lost in pages - but that would only last all of 5 minutes right? Anyway, we can can dream and today I need your input... . “Raising readers” has been an important parenting goal for us since day one, we even read to the girls while I was pregnant and now that Eliana is learning to read by herself, we’ve become inspired all over again to make reading fun, relevant and an important part of our day. I’m going to be writing about reading a lot more but want to know what it is that you’d like to know about... . . • 1. Age appropriate book reviews • 2. Suggestions for Afrikaans books • 3. How to develop a love for reading from day 1 • 4. Setting up a reading nook • 5. Reading lists for specific themes / seasons or holidays . . Please let me know which topics interest you the most or if there’s something else you’re wondering about. I’d really like to put my knowledge as an ex-foundation phase teacher (and lover of children’s books) to good use😉 📸 @tapsnapp for @momsayssa . . . . . . . . . . . #raisingreaders #kidsbooks #readingisfundamental #readingtime📖 #readtolead #kidswhoread #readtoyourkids #readingnook #readinglist #bookrecommendations #afrikaans #mommyandmetime #justamamma #worldbookday2019
  • “Be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” -John 13:63 . . And now, even in times of trouble and overwhelming doubt, we all can find hope in knowing we can do the same. . . Taking this scripture to heart for all our current worries (because no one’s life is only sunshine and roses) and every challenge that may be heading our way. #sundayscripture . . . . . . . #scriptureofaffirmation #affirmations #promisesofGod #easter2019 #eastersunday2019 #tetelestai #heisrisen #itisfinished #sundaymotivation #familyselfie #candivacay2019take3 #us #thisisus #ourtribe #familyphoto #familytravels #justamamma #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #familyoffive

  • LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN! It’s long weekend which means we are on our way... . . This morning I’ll be frantically packing and getting everything done for our weekend away to Vivo - a tiny, yet beautiful little corner of our country in the Limpopo province. We also visit the in-laws over Easter on their beautiful potato and tomato farm. We’ll be emerging ourselves in farm life and family, soaking up the stunning surroundings and our time together. Anyone else hitting the road this weekend? Where are you off to? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #longweekendvibes #easterweekend #weekendgetaways #familytravels #traveltosouthafrica #travelza #southafricatravel #southafricantravelbloggers #familytravelblog #travelbloggers #limpopo #explorenature #slowdown #slowliving #babywear #justamamma #babywearingmama #kidswhotravel #southafricantourism #candivacay2019take2 #travellog #familytravelblog #travelwithkids #kidstravel #travelfamily #worldtravels #travelgrams #seekingtheoutdoors
  • #sponsored | NEW GIVEAWAY ON THE BLOG | Have you heard about the @purebeginnings “Celebrate YOUR organic” initiative? . . It’s about encouraging others to embrace ’their’ organic – be it intentional time with your kids, growing your own organic produce at home, committing to a single use plastic-free way of living, or buying local. There’s no right or wrong way to “celebrate organic” – it’s about being THOUGHTFUL and INTENTIONAL about how we live, holding ourselves accountable, and inspiring others in the same way. . . As proud PB brand ambassadors we got to host our own #celebrateorganic event earlier this month at the lovely @jacksons_real_food_market. (You guys remember, I couldn’t stop talking about those incredible goodie bags 😉). . . The morning turned out amazing and today on the blog I share EVERYTHING even my goodie bag💚 . . WIN a @yumboxlunch lunchbox, @purastainless_sa Water Bottle, some snacks from @tierhoekorganic, a @my_eco_sprout Chickpea Growing Kit and @purebeginnings goodies!!! All you have to do is enter on the blog😉 easy! Plus you can finish watching this lovely video created by @house.of.dlg . . Now GO!
