Alyssa’s My Little Pony Themed Party

February 13, 2017

So my Big Girl turned 4 last week and to celebrate, we hosted friends and family at the Black Bull Steakhouse for a My Little Pony themed party.

Let’s just say, Alyssa and I were equally responsible for the choice of theme – but I must admit, I’m crazy over these colorful creatures. Not only because of the infectious colours, but I love how ponies celebrate life – honouring friendship and kindness to others! Each Pony is unique and colourful in it’s own right.

Preparing for the party was absolute bliss – with the help of Pinterest of course. There are so many ideas for the theme, however, My little Pony decor and favours are not as easy to find, as opposed to some of the Disney-themed characters. After shopping around and doing some DIY though, I was able to pull it off.

Happy 4th Birthday Alyssa

February 10, 2017

Dear Alyssa

Here we are again – another year has passed and what an amazing year it has been watching you growing up.

Something happened this week, which makes me want to hug you even tighter than I do every day and cherish your every move. You will understand one day when you’re older.

Over the past year, your strong personality has certainly come to the fore. Your mood swings too – I think you may have inherited this from Daddy. However, your smile, laughter, and wit (which happens later in the day) compensates for that! Even when you are miserable in the mornings, you are actually quite funny and that makes me smile.

You have been a confident and independent child since day 1 and I love to see how these qualities continue to develop.

Our Weekend Escape To Val Du Charron Guest House & Wine Estate In Wellington

February 9, 2017

Yes, I know… the work year has barely started, but after just a week back to reality – my body was completely in shock and I was knocked with a terrible sinus infection. I’m about to embark on a bit of a career change imminently, so I’ve been a bit stressed and anxious about what’s to come in the future. I’ll share some more of that soon.

This is why an invitation to stay over at Val Du Charron Guest House & Wine Estate In Wellington was welcomed. We visited the Piza E Vino restaurant on the estate back in December last year and really fell in love with the beautiful views, so we couldn’t wait to go back and explore more of what it has to offer. The kids were also very excited to know they were going back to the restaurant with the coolest play areas.

Taking Care Of Yourself During Pregnancy

February 8, 2017

This week is Pregnancy Awareness Week In South Africa. The purpose of it is to promote and educate women and the public about pregnancy and also to enhance healthy pregnancies – as well as healthy babies.

I think it’s a great initiative, as new and expectant Moms need all the support they can get.

In line with Pregnancy Awareness Week, Pampers and I thought it would be appropriate to share some tips for expectant Moms on how to keep healthy and stay informed throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Here are a few tips to keep you and baby healthy and safe:
