  • When you meet Mickey, you totally give him a square on you Instagram❤️ #welovethatmouse any other fans out there? 👊🏻 . . School holidays have kicked off with a BANG and although we may not be going anywhere special we still have loads of plans to make this the BEST staycation ever. . . •First on our vacay bucket list was @disneyonice and guys it was amazing! If you’re having second thoughts after seeing our Instastories, just go, you won’t be sorry. •We spent Father’s Day at the Pretoria Zoo and now we’re trying to decide what to do next! . . I’ve compiled a list of all the BEST places to visit with kids in Pretoria and we’re going to see how many we can tick off over the next 3 weeks👏🏻✔️ Wanna see which places made our list? . . Checkout our latest blogpost (LINK IN BIO) and please do share you holiday plans with us too! Who else is staying home?

  • You didn’t think we’d let Father’s Day pass by without gushing over this guy did you? . . Becoming a father has change and challenged Mr. Perfect but his soul has stayed exactly the same. . . When I look into his eye I still see the same boyish, fun flickering that made me fall in love with him all those years ago ❤️ . . I see it when he plays with our girls till everyone falls down exhausted. I see it when he tickles all of us till we scream hysterically. I see it when he reads the same bedtime story over and over again, never loosing enthusiasm. I see it night after night as the bathroom gets flooded during bath time adventures. I see it when he hold our babies while they cry. I see it when he explains to them why they misbehaved. . . I could not have asked for a better, more involved father for our girls (or a better husband for myself). . . We love your forever Mr. Perfect ❤️ And to every other Father, we hope you got loved on and celebrated today too! . . SWIPE LEFT for a then and now😉 who knows, maybe next year he’ll have another little monkey in those arms🤞🏻 📸 @madisonandwestlifestyle . . . . . . . . . . . . #fatherhoodrocks #fathers #fathersonlove #fathersonbonding #girldad #fathersanddaughters #goodfathers #fathersday2019 #daddytime #daddyblogger #daddylittlegirl #daddygirls #daddydaughterdate #dads #sundayfunday☀️ #fatherofthree #familyoffive #bigfamilylife #bigfamilygoals #marraige #raisingdaughters #raisingmytribe #justamamma #southafrican
  • The girls have been eyeing the @ourgeneration_dolls_sa collections for months! So, when they contacted us I knew these dolls would be the perfect end of term gift for Eliana, Lia and Ava. . . And judging by their reaction - it’s safe to say we were right 😉 Honestly I’m super excited to play along 👏🏻Never have I seen dolls of this quality and THEY ARE SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!!! . . Anyway, more on that later. For now it’s time to play with Valencia, Alexia and Halia!!!!! I can’t wait to see where our imaginations will take us❤️ . . #sponsored #ourgenerationdolls #ogdolls #toysforgirls #imaginitiveplay #mommyandmeplay #playwithyourkids #besttoysforkids #dolls #justamamma #powerofimagination #kidsplay #dollsstyle #roleplaying #dollsofinstragram #sisters #siblinglife
  • Just rollin with my crew, looking fly in some @suns_good_sa shades😎 . . I love being a mama so when @mamma_to_lala nominated me to list 3 things that make being a mama the best thing in the world, I totally wanted to join in the fun. . . 3 ain’t a lot - I could like 300 but in no particular order this is 3 things I love everyday: . . 1. Starting and ending our days with their arms around my neck - really going to miss good morning kisses and bedtime cuddles one day😢 2. Random kisses and “lief jou mommy-face” being screamed and whispered to me when I least expect it. Please don’t ever stop calling me “mommy-face”. 3. Knowing we have each other FOREVER and ALWAYS ❤️ These girls really are pieces of me and I will never stop working at keeping us close, nurturing our bond and being their best mama. . . Play along a list a reason why you love being a mom. The good needs to be celebrated otherwise we’ll drowned in the bad😉 . . My 5 nominees to go next are... @caffeineandfairydust @house.of.dlg @mommy_and_baby_approved @christie_miless @slow.down.family . . But PLEASE ANYONE can join❤️ 📸 @madisonandwestlifestyle 🕶Mommy and me shades available @snobmilanosa 👚 @lullaby_rock_apparel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . @no.89hazelwood #communityovercompetiton #instamoms #instacommunity #sisterhoodofmotherhood #celebratemom #beingmother #beingamom #motherhoodslens #parentsbelike #unitedinmotherhood #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodrocks #motherhoodunited #motherhoodmoments #mommyandmefashion #mommyandmestyle #justamamma #familytee #girlmom #familyof5 #southafricanfashion #southafricanmom #shopsmall #shoplocalza

  • SWIPE LEFT to see our family photo fail! 🤣 . . Ever copied your favourite photo, from your favourite account, just coz they’re so darn amazing!?! . . Well, we did - let’s rather say, we tried but failed😂 I’m sure you all know which account we were trying to pay tribute to... . . Yup, it’s our FAVOURITE TRAVEL BLOG; @thebucketlistfamily. We may not share their photo (and video) skills but we definitely have the same love for family travel, except they are total #travelgoals! We can’t wait for our next family adventure. Where should we go? . . Anyone with travel plans this school holiday? We made the rookie mistake of thinking we could “wing it” last minute as usual, but traveling in peak season means planning months in advance and double the budget😳#lessonlearnt 😝 . . But to all the lucky travelers heading to Natal this month... Checkout our latest blogpost. I know it took FOREVER but I finally share our stay at Breakers Resort as well as all the fun family things to do in Umhlanga!
