I’m not going to lie, but when I received last month’s book in our Book club , I was definitely not as excited as I was when I received the previous month’s book – Bloom.
For some reason, I thought that I’d seen “the movie” and based on the inscription left inside by the previous reader – it seemed like an “average” or “ok” read.
Well, I didn’t see the movie – in fact, I’m not even sure if there was a movie made!
Winter used to be my favourite season, but since becoming a Mom, my opinion has been swayed somewhat. Winter no longer just means sipping on a glass of red and chilling by the fire place – in fact, theres not even many opportunities for that anymore. Nowadays, Winter means snotty noses, depleted medical aid savings and cabin fever!

I’m always conscious about the warnings about too much screen time for little eyes, but I’ve come to the conclusion that like everything else in life, there needs to be a balance.
As long as my kids get lots of unstructured play and outdoor time each day, a little bit of screen time won’t hurt – especially if they are learning from it.

I was so happy when a few local App providers contacted me to give Alyssa the opportunity to try out some great educational Apps which are suitable for growing minds. She is loving them at them at the moment! Here’s a list of her favourite’s:
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?
