I now know for sure that I’m not alone in my frustration with exorbitant grocery bills and its evident that most of us are looking for ways to save on this massive expense.

Prices are continuously increasing, there’s no two ways about that, so we have to be smart about how we spend our moola.

In one of my posts, a reader left a comment suggesting that online shopping works for her as she doesn’t get tempted to add unnecessary extras to her cart – unlike a usual trip to the grocery store. You know the saying – never shop when you hungry? Well, with online shopping, you can eat while you click and not get tempted!

I thought it was a great idea and that I’d give it a try at some point and see if it could work for us. I put it off for a while as I hadn’t done all my homework on it just yet (I love reading fine print 🙂 ) , but when I spent 30 minutes in a queue waiting in line to pay one Saturday afternoon, I immediately started my research.

It was a pure coincidence that during the month of World Rhino Day, this book landed on my doorstep. This is not necessarily a choice of book I would go out and buy, but I must say its one of the most gripping real-life stories I’ve read.

Written by Lawrence Anthony, who shares stories about the happenings at his private game reserve Thula Thula.

Prior to reading the book, I knew of rhino poaching but never thought too much about the extent of it in this country. I am now even more saddened by the plight of rhinos in South Africa who are being poached and are literally being pushed to the brink of extinction.

Time is a precious commodity, especially when it comes to parenting.

From the first time you see those 2 lines on a pregnancy test your whole world changes as you start embracing the amazing journey of what parenting has to offer. Next thing you know, your baby starts walking and talking! It all happens so quickly.

At first and naturally so, the fear of the unknown kicks in and you start to wonder, will I be a good parent? There’s a lot to think about and if you haven’t had any practice, you will of course need to do your homework on things like how to change a diaper, burp a baby and figure the whole breastfeeding thing out.

My sources of information throughout my pregnancy and parenting journey has been from Doctors, friends, family and books to fellow Mom Bloggers across the world who have and are going through this same roller-coaster ride.

There are however a few natural instincts which kick in when you become a parent and it comes without doing any kind of research.  You know that “gut feeling”? – that’s what I’m talking about.
