Last month ended off on a high note for me as I got to enjoy a few days in the town of Swellendam, getting a first peak at Swellendam Winter School.

School is perhaps a very strong word. You’re probably thinking I was hitting the books, but it was nothing like that.

It was literally a leisurely learning holiday in Swellendam where I gained new skills, knowledge and made some new friends.

Swellendam Winter School is a new initiative whereby over 50 different 3-day and 5-day midweek courses are offered by Swellendam’s own local talented experts and apasionados in a variety of beautiful venues!

Why Are Prenatal Vitamins So Important?!

Sponsored Post

I am so grateful to have had two healthy pregnancies. Before we even thought about starting a family, I knew that I wanted to have access to the best essential and nutritional options if I were to fall pregnant.

But what I wasn’t really aware of at the time, is that taking care of yourself prior to falling pregnant was just as important!

Luckily for me, I had a few friends who were pregnant before me and they educated me on the steps you need to take prior to planning for a family.

Probably the most important piece of advice I received was to take prenatal vitamins.

Not only are they important during pregnancy, but also before AND after, while breastfeeding.

Dear Aidan

To my baby boy on your 4th birthday

Aidy Baby – I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to call you that any longer.

That’s the nickname that big Sister has given you since the day you were born and it has stuck. Even Alyssa’s friends call you that.

You also have that baby face that I think will always be, regardless of your age!

Tips To Keep The Kids Entertained During LoadShedding

Kids entertained loadshedding

Keeping the kids entertained during LoadShedding is no easy task, especially if you’re not prepared. Loadshedding is here and it looks like it’s going to go on for a while. We can scream, shout, stand on our heads but that’s not going to help us in any way!

It’s not perfect circumstances so all we can do is prepare, especially when you have the tall task of not only explaining to your kids what’s going on but also keeping them happy and entertained when the power is out… especially in the evenings. During the day it’s a lot simpler to just take them outside and play, but in the evening and when it starts to get colder, indoors it will be!

I thought I’d share a few tips that help us get through the times when the lights go out and the TV doesn’t switch on!
