July 2017 | A Long-Overdue Update

We are already halfway through the 7th month of 2017, and unfortunately this is only about the 3rd blog post this year!

Walk The Robberg | A Plettenberg Bay Must-Do

As I’m writing this, I am gasping at the fact that we are in the first week of February. I know time seems to go faster as you get older but the start of this year has officially sped past. I wish I could just ‘freeze-frame’ us for a while, get my work/admin/life sorted and […] Read more…

Obviously being new to the whole “mom world” […] Read more…

Jackson’s Nursery Reveal | A Sneak Peek

I blame building a new house. Because ever since Sean and I signed the contract for a new home (which has now reached roof height) my brain has not stopped thinking about interior décor. And, why, Jackson’s nursery in our existing home became my favourite ‘project’ of 2016. I am the first person to admit […] Read more…

Maternity Capsule Wardrobe | 7 Styled Looks

I’m sure nearly every pregnant woman is the same: I won’t be buying maternity wear! In fact I was so stubborn on the point that I bought a pair of H&M jeans (a few sizes up) to avoid buying maternity jeans with their stretchy bands. That can only last so long to be honest – […] Read more…
