I’m no pastry chef. Far from it. But, I love to bake. And I love cake. (Who doesn’t?) One of my favourite things to bake is themed kiddie cakes. My cakes don’t ever look like works of art, but they are such fun to make & the sheer joy on those tiny faces are just […] Read more…
I can still remember very clearly: sitting in the ante-natal class hearing all about how (post-birth) you will eventually find the ‘New Normal’. Fast forward 2.5 years & I still ask myself weekly – if not daily – so what & where is the “New Normal”? Maybe it is because we decided that I will […] Read more…
Happy mid-week everyone. Here are my favourite links of the moment. Enjoy! Very practical career advice from Joanna Goddard from Cup of Jo. This little guy sure loves reading (so cute)!

The annual CUPPA for CANSA campaign makes me very excited – it is the perfect reason (or excuse) to get your girls together & have tea while you’re doing something for a truly worthy cause.

Read this if you work from home. No matter how old or young you are, you can still stand up for something that matters – Vivienne Harr […] Read more…
Tots can easily identify a potential friend. If you have or had toddlers, you will know exactly what I mean. They simply look for someone with a specific mode of transport (car seat, stroller, mini bicycle); more or less the same height (dog, fellow human being) or a shared activity (play ground, party) & they […] Read more…

With Spring around the corner, it is time to not only start thinking about your summer wardrobe & body, but also about summer-ready hair! If you are stuck for ideas, then look no further. I’ve picked the brain of David Gillson, director & master stylist at Carlton hair (Constantia, Hyde Park & Melrose Arch) who […] Read more…

I have a little card (framed &) on my desk that reads: “Why on earth do you want to be like everyone else?” It sounds obvious, but it’s worth reminding ourselves every now & then why we are unique. Especially when our confidence is affected… Which brings me […] Read more…
