When Victoria Beckham posted this birthday message to her daughter on her Instagram account, it started yet another controversial parenting debate.

I was quite shocked by it…. what is so wrong about kissing your own child on the lips?

Some comments on the post said the kiss looked very “sexual”. The way Victoria’s head is tilted. One comment even said “Why tilt your head like that. Why expose yourself to the critics when you know this picture might just cause problems,”

Really now?

Paarl – The Perfect Kids Playground

Last week, Kurt and I were lucky enough to take the kids on a day tour through the beautiful town of Paarl, less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town. We got to visit 4 different kid-friendly places in the heart of the Cape Winelands!

It was a real treat for the kids and besides the midday tantrum which Alyssa decided to throw, it was a fun-filled day for the whole family. It was so funny because on the day, she was wearing a t-shirt  which says #nofilter – and that day there really was no filter 🙂

Family Photoshoot with Lauren Pretorius Photography

I’m so happy to share some images of our Family Shoot with Lauren Pretorious Photography. Lauren is absolutely amazing to work with and it’s unbelievable that she captured such amazing shots in less than an hour.

Aidan is obsessed with cars, and Lauren knew exactly how to keep him happy throughout the shoot with an adorable little vintage car. He inspected the wheels, the lights and just could not get enough of it. Alyssa loves posing for photos, so she too was in her element.

We have over 60 amazing pictures, but I thought I’d share my favourite shots.
