It’s been a minute... life is so busy of late, that I don’t see an end to it for at least the next 4 months. I’ll be sharing the dates for the #hypnobirthing info session tomorrow so keep a watch for that if you’re interested! Hoping you have time to stop and play in fountains - Lord knows I need that! #mothermuses . . . . . #hypnobirthingclass #hypnobirthingsouthafrica #hypnobirthingjoburg #fountains #stopandplay #runwildmychild #toddlers #workingmoms #workingmomlife #winterplay #toddlerlife #instamom #momblogger #samomblogger
Coffee stands for so much in my life - it’s my go to drink for infectious conversations, it’s my whistle kick off for business meetings and career moves, it’s my in when a door is shut, and my constant friend on long nights when I write... today it was the casual currency for a serious chat about #kidneydonors and possibly saving my husband’s life. Coffee - something so simple, but so vital in the way I live my life... blog post to follow on today’s meeting. What does coffee mean to you? #mothermuses . . . . . #coffee #coffeelovers #theimportanceofcoffee #donor #organdonation #organdonor #savealife #onekidney #organdonorawareness #organdonorfoundation #thesimplethings #coffeeporn #coffeemom #momsandcoffee #caffeineaddict
Those who followed my stories on Tuesday evening will know I attended a talk on #futureproofingyourchild - I’m going to be honest. I felt robbed of my money I paid for this talk. I struggle immensely with people who call themselves experts on something that they don’t necessarily have the backing on... the talk was really a push for their new book, which apparently was an update on an old version... things they were saying were - truthfully - things I already knew and 95% of the time practice with my kids anyway. I’ll be fair - I think I was the wrong age group for that audience... the “kids” they were talking about were #millennials or younger - and the average age in that auditorium was prob around 40ish... It was like being told to do something that you’ve been doing for 10 years already. I’m not sure what I expected from the talk, but I didn’t expect to sit in the back of the room feeling annoyed and exasperated. I also find it curious when someone terms themselves “a futurist”... that’s not a thing, and that’s a self given term. I don’t think I’m an expert on parenting, but I know I probably could have given a more insightful talk to the audience than the speakers did - their kids are my age. They are not raising children of the future... so by default their knowledge is lacking... could I be wrong? Possibly. Were there people who enjoyed that talk? For sure... do I recommend their book or their talks? Hell nah... it worries me that a prestigious institution like #Gibs would put their name behind something like this, and speakers who have dodgy qualifications from unlisted universities... #mothermuses . . . . . #truthfulreview #parenting #childhood #mother #raisingthefuture #weactuallyknowbetter #students #momblogger #tedtalk #gibstalk #review #sabloggers #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #momofgirls
My little baby turns 1 today - I can’t believe how time slipped through my fingers during her first year. She has grown so beautifully and the fire in her soul is clear and strong, even at the tender young age of 12 months. My birthday wish for her, is that she grows in strength, health, joy and love. She is, without argument, a child of change. Watch her grow 🙌💜 #mothermuses . . . . . #happybirthday #1stbirthday #oneyearsold #babygirl #nowatoddler #toddlerhairstyles #babyfashion #letterboards #12monthsold #growingup #ittybittytoes #sweetestgirl #babyhairstyles #candidphotography #babyphotography #wildchild #momofgirls #momblogger
We hosted a Genietastic 1st Birthday party for Isabella (already!) and I was thrilled with her birthday cake! She is obsessed with Shimmer and Shine, and when @cakedreama crafted this piece of edible art into existence, every expectation under the sun was reached, and then some more. The characters are spitting images of the originals, and the cake tasted amazing! And all this in less than a week... best birthday cake - ever! #mothermuses . . . . . #birthdaycake #cakeboss #handmade #shimmerandshinecake #talaandnahal #genietastic #cakemodelling #fondantcake #cakeart #smashthecake #1stbirthday #magiccarpet #cakes #customcake
