  • . . 💇🏻‍♀️So Lia (5) and I needed a trim... Neither of us knew what we were doing so, we helped each other out... . I may have overexaggerated with the goggles, but better safe than sorry😋 . I have to admit... I'm impressed Lia, we may need to do this again!❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . #lockdownhair #bangstyle #shortblondehair #hairtutorialsvideos #fringebangs #justamamma #socialisolation #stayhome #isolationcreation #funnyvideo #southafrican #momlife #raisingdaughters #momsofinstagram #momswithcameras #funnykids #dailyparenting #girlmom #samomblogger #mommyandmetime #howtocuthair #clickinmoms #lockdownlife #IGTV
  • OFFICIALLY GROWING OLD TOGETHER 😜🤓❤️ . Okay so we aren’t old (yet) but after 17 years... here we are... sporting our new glasses after our couple’s eye check at @eyelandcastlewalk - another 1st for us but, doing anything with Mr.Perfect, always makes it more fun! . • No surprise, Alec needed glasses... Wearing contacts pretty much 24/7 isn’t recommended. So, from now on weekends and after work will be “no contact-lenses” time. • Loads of screen time in front of my laptop and phone, #bloglife, puts a lot of strain on my eyes. To make sure I don’t need to be wearing glasses fulltime within the next year or so prescription blue control glasses was recommended. I wear these when I work and so far, so good. (But I’ll keep you guys posted on if I do feel a difference😉). . In the meantime, what do you guys think? Did we choose right? I’m definitely still getting use to seeing my eye framed😆 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #justamamma #marriedlife #growingoldtogether #healthycouple #eyecare #coupleselfie #glassesgirl #happymarriage #relationships #realrelationships #keepingthesparkalive #highschoolsweethearts #husbandandwifeteam #wifelife #marriagegoals #marriedlife💍 #reallove #soulmates #couplegoals❤ #husbandandwifeforlife #lovehim #wifelife #loveofmylife💕 #southafricans #coupletime #couplesofinstagram #myforeverlove

  • THURSDAY “COUCH” TRAVELS!!! . When the cake craving hits, there’s only one thing to do... Pack up the kids, pile into the car (aah Mr. Perfect, the things we make while the girls sleep😂😂😂) and “Flintstone” our way to @charlysbakery 😜🧁🍰🥮 #wewish . . This little bakery has been going strong for the past 31 years and must be one of the happiest places on earth! IT’S A CAPE TOWN INSTITUTE and visits to the Mother City ain’t complete without a hello to the Cake Angels (We really do hope we get to visit again next time we’re in town - Ava needs to experience some Charly’s magic too ❤️❤️❤️) . Now wish us luck as we head back home, it’s a little breezy and cramped in our new “family car(dboard box) 😉😜😘 . . .👉🏻* PS: Head on over to the @charlysbakery page to see how we all can help keep Charly’s Bakery going during this challenging time 😉 Anyone else fans of this Cape Town institute? . . . . . . . . . . #charlysbakery #igerscapetown #capetown #supportsmallbusiness #inittogether #shoplocal #proudlysouthafrican #thursdayvibes #isolationcreation #justforlaughs #familypictures #throwbackthursday #familyselfie #bigfamilylife #familyoffive #justamamma #justforfun#familytravels #stayhomechallenge #quarintine #quarintinetravelchallenge #travelwithkids #travelfromhome #funparenting #parentinglife #exploresouthafrica #foodiefeature #cakegram
  • #TTC baby number 4... . Yes, we have been quiet and usually when bloggers go silent... no news, is good news... . In our case however, no news, is simply, no news...🙁 We don’t have any exciting news to share and I’ve turned quiet because honestly, I don’t know how to put into worlds what I’m feeling. Sharing this isn’t easy because at times it feels like I’m sharing my failures, my inadequacy, my weakness and a less “pretty” side... . Then last week, the DMs started rolling in, messages from families on this journey with us. Some sharing their incredible news (they are finally pregnant ❤️❤️❤️❤️), others sharing their pain, frustration and sadness over “another month gone by”... . I can now say I understand both sides of that conversation... . Not falling pregnant month-after-month is hard. It hits a woman to her core and I’ve been fighting with myself... • Trying to convince my heart that wanting another baby (when we are already so blessed) is selfish. • Trying to convince my head that feeling sad doesn’t make me weak in my faith, it simply shows I’m human and I need to keep surrendering myself to God. . And that’s what we’ve decided to do. Over and over again. Day after day, because “not thinking about it”, isn’t an option (we’ve tried) but trying to control our destiny, isn’t possible either... . I pray with all my heart that I will one day wrap my arms across my pregnant belly again but for now I’m wrapping them tighter around Mr. Perfect, our girls and every women with me, also trying to conceive and also the ones that have shown me so much love and support thus far. THANK YOU and know, I am right here with each and every one of you too❤️❤️ ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . #ttccommunity #ttcjourney #ttcsupport #bigfamilylife #communitylove #impactoverinfluence #justamamma #attitudeofgratitude #slowdown #pregnancyphotoshoot #seekingbeauty #celebratemotherhood #southafricanmom #momstrong #motherofdragons #momlifebelike #happymom #momdiaries #southafricanblogger #pretoria #mynameismama #ig_motherhood #motherofgirls #tryingtoconceive #conception
