This work week has been stress level 💯 Literal

This work week has been stress level 💯
Literally!

But, we got through it 🙌🙌
It took lots of coffee... and my morning workouts that really sets my day off to the best energised start! I try to work out as early as possible because the later I leave it, chances are it won’t happen! Especially with work being so hectic.

What gets you through a tough week?

So you may have seen how hard I worked on this ove

So you may have seen how hard I worked on this over the weekend , but it was so worth it! Not only has the ugly cupboard in my new office space transformed into a beauty, but it’s also doubled up as storage for my workout equipment!

My new office space is big enough to do a workout and I’m so thrilled. It’s also making Kurt very happy as my equipment is no longer all over the house 🤪 I workout almost everyday but I didn’t have a dedicated space up until now, so I’m so happy I can literally cry!!!

I may have worked hard on this set up, but I can’t take credit for the idea. After sharing our need for an office space with @studiotarynb , she has guided Kurt and I every step of the way to create a space that we LOVE! I’m going to be chatting more about this over on my stories!

@builders also literally had everything I needed to make this storage solution for my office happen! It took one trip to Builders and in one weekend everything was done. The pegboard sheet and hooks, the primer and paint as well as the cute baskets which fit perfectly at the top - they are all from @builderssa

This will be my view from my new desk 🤩 Next week we will be adding the final touches to the entire space and then I’ll show you around!

First time in a mall in 2021.... make it fashion 💁🏻‍♀️

Alyssa has been waiting to spend some of her Christmas and birthday money that she saved up. So when I told her we could do that today, she dressed and done her hair so quickly. I’ve never seen her move so quickly! I wish she could have that same sense of urgency for school in the morning 😅!!!

Home Office Update 👩‍💻 I may look a bit

Home Office Update 👩‍💻

I may look a bit crazy in this pic but it’s been a hectic work week ok 😅

But ...we have more fun work to do this weekend, to get our office in shape! The space is completely cleared, painted (we used @duluxsa luxurious silk in brilliant white) and we are now ready to start styling! Our barn door from @builderssa is also up! (thanks Dad)

I had very little ideas when it came to the set up and layout of the space. You saw the before videos and pics (check out my home office highlight if you didn’t) - it was a real mess in there. So it was extremely hard for me to grasp how it could work as an office and what the set up could look like. I needed some inspiration!

I reached out to @studiotarynb to collaborate with me on this part of the project as this is exactly what she does! My mind is completely blown by the ideas she has given us 🤯 Never in a million years would I have thought what was possible with this space and I can’t wait to show you guys! I’ll share some more details over the weekend.

Kurt is already so inspired by the new office space , he’s moved his desk in already 😅

Also thanks for all the votes on my polls and your input, it’s been so helpful- I’m taking the back office (yay!) and I’m keeping the cupboard - but I can’t wait to show what we’ll be doing with it 🤩🤩

EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO READ THIS #triggerwarning

EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO READ THIS

#triggerwarning
I’m not sure if you’ve heard or seen the headlines about the comments made by our Education Minister to pupils at a Pretoria school this week – if not, google it.

It was a very dangerous and shocking statement which she now says was taken out of context. Nevertheless, people are obviously not too happy about it.

The timing was weird for me as this statement was made, as I was finishing reading My Only Story from Deon Wiggett.

Parts of this book was heartbreaking to read but it has definitely given me some tools to spot red flags and when someone's intentions are not as pure as it seems. This is why I think every parent should read it! My full review of the book is up on the blog #LINKINBIO
