Treat Yo’ Self 🙌

Thursday evenings have become my “me time” nights as it’s when I just chill and catch up on some series. My plan for this evening after watching The Bachelorette SA, is to finish watching the last 2 episodes of Behind Her Eyes on @netflixsa
Have you watched it? 👀

Thursday evenings I also treat myself to something sweet perhaps with a glass of bubbly or 2 🥂 😉And Tonight I’m enjoying delicious NEW treats from @_heartchocolate 😋

What I have in my hands is a new chocolate brownie recipe from @_heartchocolate which is now available to order 🤩 I’ve added a dollop of vanilla ice-cream as suggested and it is just 👌

The brownies are sold in a box of 6. Flavors are oreo, nuts and plain. The nuts is my absolute fave (give me all the cashews and almonds please😍) while the kids are obsessed with the Oreo flavor 🙂

Coated chocolate nuts (you have to taste this!!!) are also new from Heart Chocolate, sold as an add on to an order purchased over R150 and more. A really great add on for a gift 🎁 👏 Thanks for this delicious gift Heart Chocolate 💕

Do you also have a designated “me time” every week?

This past Sunday we had the most amazing family lunch at Tryn Restaurant, @steenbergfarm ‘s beautiful eatery. The kids have been begging us for a family outing (literally a year haha)- so the timing was just perfect.

My kids have very good healthy appetites and they were most impressed with the meals as you can see 😄

Read all about our lovely experience on the blog... #linkinbio

Have you ever visited Steenberg? It's so beautiful!

First meal at a restaurant as a family, in like forever!

It’s amazing what difference a year makes. Meals at restaurants with kids were never a relaxing experience for us, as the kids are always all over the place... but these two were so content today. They coloured in and had brought a toy or 2 along and that was enough to keep them Happy.

Tryn @steenbergfarm has the most beautiful indoor space (decor goals!) and a magnificent garden which the kids absolutely loved running around after lunch. Kurt and I enjoyed a glass of my fave Steenberg MCC while they did that and it was absolute bliss!

I’ll share some more about our experience on my blog this week. #Hosted

Hope you had a beautiful Sunday too!

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 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!
