So it’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on the Motherhood front but needless to say, the Malan household has been busy. We have our hands full with two kids who are VERY busy, yet entertaining – fighting a lot, yet loving each other a lot too and they are literally running and dancing all day long!
Here’s what everyone’s been up to:
When your baby feels warm or seems a bit under the weather, taking his or her temperature is a quick way of finding out whether something is really wrong. Babies and toddlers can put up a big fight if they have to lie still for their temperature to be taken, so in my opinion the digital forehead or ear thermometers are probably the better options, as opposed to the rectal, mouth or armpit thermometers.
A normal body temperature for a healthy child is between 36-37.5 degrees Celsius. Anything higher than this is deemed a fever. If your child has a fever of 39.4 degrees Celcius or higher, along with other symptoms such as vomiting, coughing, loss of appetite, diarrhea or unusual lethargy it’s definitely time to call the doctor!
So the other day my Boss comes up to me and asks whether I’ve ever bought clothing or shoes from an Online store before. I of course replied saying yes and he was like “How can you buy something without being able to see it or try it on?”
It’s something I’ve become quite accustomed to of late and I don’t really see it as a deterrent. Maybe at first I did. Like what do you do if it doesn’t fit? Or if it breaks? Well, it’s pretty much the same as if you’d buy in store. In fact it’s easier, because someone will collect the item from you!
I also kind of enjoy the wait, the build up and excitement of having the items delivered. How will it look? How will it feel? Will it fit?
Happy Monday Happy People!
I’m not sure if there is anyone else as happy as I am that H&M is in South Africa? Not only have they given fashion fans a wonderful variety of clothing but they have literally changed the landscape of shopping for kids and baby clothing in this country!
I was super excited to hear that their AW16 Studio Collection will be launching on the 8th of September and I was even more stoked that the team over at H&M gave Alyssa and I the chance to play around with some of the magnificent pieces which the collection has to offer. Yes – you’ve read correctly between the lines – H&M have launched the the first ever H&M Studio kids collection!
