Can we talk about HOMEWORK? 😭 This year has bee

Can we talk about HOMEWORK? 😭 This year has been a huge shift for our household, with both Alyssa and Aidan now being in the intermediary phase of their school career. It essentially means double the homework, double the tests, EXAMS and assignments. Life has gotten real 😂

I literally feel like I’m redoing my school learning all over again, because the way they do things are SO different to the way I was taught back in the day! Can you relate??

Anyway, all I can do is support them with their studies, feed them healthy meals and make sure they are boosting their immune systems. This is also where @neovitaofficial Daily Kids Multivit comes in! Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, these delicious gummies are a daily dose of health that the kids actually enjoy! I also need to be at my best so the Multivitamin and Hair vitamins are my go-to!
Some good news - for the month of Feb, they have a Buy 1, get 1 free promotion on the kids multivitamin on their website which you should take advantage of >> https://neovita.co.za/

Save for your next getaway 🔥
Klein Paradys - Tiny Homes is the newest gem in the @old_mac_daddy collection. It offers 6 gorgeous luxury Tiny Homes, each with a private hot tub to unwind and soak in the tranquil surroundings! And of course @old_mac_daddy has even more to offer 🤩🏔️

I loved watching the reality TV show on kykNET, where contestants were challenged to design and build these beautiful tiny homes in just 25 days! (I think you can still find the series on Catch up) So it was so fun seeing it all up close. #

This is such a unique experience, offering the perfect balance of style and tranquility! We can’t wait to come back
