Craft

1. Little Interiors

I’m an Interior designer, mom, wife, shoe and trench coat addict, I love GOOD coffee, baking, party planning but most of all I LOVE great design.

I’ve been doing corporate interiors for 10 years  fell in love with kids interiors after having to design my own baby’s nursery.

I use my blog as a platform to showcase my ideas and designs.

2. 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House

I’m Cindy, the author/blog slave behind 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House.

Although I may be the one writing it – my handsome, hipster husband Seth, our beautiful daughters Kyla (4) and Riya (3) and our long awaited little boy Knox (1) are the reason that I started (and continue) to blog.  Capturing our life together in a fun and interesting way is really important to me – I’m always hoping that they will go back and read it one day.

We are all about good coffee, wine and chocolate, kids crafts, grain/dairy free yummy food, gorgeous kids clothes, DIY projects that make our house more of a home, throw in some tattoos and the love to just spend time together as a family exploring what Cape Town (and South Africa) have available to us and that would just about sum us up – sort of.  While all those things are awesome and fun I want to always be real about parenting being super rewarding but also really challenging.

6. Baby Bugs ‘n Berries

What happens if you throw polka dots, cappuccinos, books or a kindle, a toddler who is super clever and prone to allergies and talks as much as her mama, a divorced single mom, a crazy crafty side and a frugal side of note, a mom trying to wrap her head around Motherhood and a lack of sleep and a people’s person who has a thing for cute egg timers and owls? Well me of course! I’m getting through all the insane and crazy bits of life, one step at a time!

7.  Skimming Stones

My name is Ursula but friends and family call me Sula.  I am a South African woman born in 1968.   I love reading, writing, nature, travel, baking, poetry, music and life.  Some of my work has been published: journal extracts in the South African anthology “Glass Jars Among Trees”, Fair Lady magazine and poetry in a few anthologies.  My dream is to see my children’s book ‘Snuffles & the Cloud People’ published; this was illustrated by my mum.  In 1996 I founded LiPS (The Durban Live Poets Society) which continues to thrive with a life of its own since I left Natal in 2000. I grew up in a creative environment: my Mum is an award winning artist and my Dad is a photographer.  I am married (for the 2nd time) and have 4 children born in 89, 91, 07 & 10.  After more than 20 years working in a corporate environment I gave up work to be at home with my children.

12. Caffeine and Fairydust

Hi, I am Maz. Welcome to my blog/sanitarium.

Even though I am a fashion designer and completely in love with it, this is not a fashion blog.. Well, not completely.

I am a working mom & self-confessed recovering workaholic. I have a gorgeous 3-year old girl and I am currently pregnant with baby #2! I live in the Southern Suburbs in Cape Town with my crazy skateboarding & craft beer loving husband, our two weird cats and of course little miss Mikayla Rose.

This is a place where I can release my thoughts & I have plenty (good, weird, and probably bad!) I don’t want my head to explode, so this will be my outlet.

All posts are based on my personal opinions & experiences, so please feel free to leave a comment; we can only learn and grow from listening to what others have to say.

14. Like Mother Like Daughter

I blog about life in general, being a mom and anything that I may or may not love doing…..

Facebook Twitter Instagram

15. For His Love

With the birth of my son began the hardest episode in my life: Postnatal Anxiety and Depression coupled with PPOCD. I started my blog to bring a lot more awereness of PND in South Africa. I needed this blog a long time ago, someone to tell me that I’m not alone…I searched and searched, and met beautiful women from the Netherlands, USA, China…all over the world. But none from my country, none in my culture. I cannot be the only one, not when 13% of women go through this. And so I share my story and journey to help others after me. It just might save somebody’s life.

16. Ellie Love

My name is Caley Jade Rosenberg and I’m a 29 year old from Durban, South Africa.
I am a wife to the most amazing man in the world, MC and a mom to my little angel princesses, SJ (Sophie Jade) and EN (Ellie Nicole). We live in a small city off the East Coast of South Africa where the sun is always shining and the beach is so inviting.

I am a born and bred Durban girl – spending my school years here, my university days studying a BA in English and Communications, and then a Post Grad degree in Teaching and now being a stay-at-home mom (for now!)

I love to blog about my family and lifestyle – from marriage, parenting, teaching and our home to recipes, reviews, travel and new products.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

17.  Durban Mom

I love a good Mommy blog. The world has millions of determined women telling their stories, sharing their crafts, showing their homes and inspiring bakers around the world.

This is my contribution to world of Mommy blogs. You won’t find advice or philosophical ramblings here, just some useful stuff I’m collecting during our wonderful journey in this beautiful city.

18. Mother in the Making… Naturally

A mother of two, a wife of one and a stuart of a million dreams. I love to sing, I love to write, I love to read and I love to dance. I love to run, I love to travel, I love to learn history and I love to ride… Bicycles, horses and fast cars. This is mere touching at what the world has to offer… Isn’t life a joy ride… but nothing compares to the great honor and responsibility of caring for a child. This is my journey to becoming a mother, day by day, in the most possible natural way that I can manage at any given stage. Being a mother is almost like trying to be more and more like Jesus… its something you are striving for daily but you just never arrive! Every milestone in a child’s life is a new road on the existing journey of becoming a mother… Come join me on my journey of raising a family in the most natural possible way that you can manage at the given time in your life… it’s the time of our lives!

19.  Just Four More Minutes

I live in a house with my husband Clint and our two sweet boys. Jesse is four years old and Jack is just over two. I am a busy, happy gal.

While I try to sneak in some quiet time, it is rarely quiet for long. As my leg is being pulled by a boy with chubby cheeks or while I am being ambushed by his big brother pleading with me to take him on a bike ride around the block, I often find myself longing for just a few more precious minutes. It’s a silly thing to do really – in the end, loving them fills my heart more than any project could.

23. Mommy Says

At Mommy Says we want to provide all Mom’s-to-be with a website that will answer as many of their questions as possible.
We also want to provide a safe place for Mom’s to chat with other mom’s who are going through similar experiences. You don’t need to chat, you could also just read about other mothers’ experiences as we have a bunch of real life stories. We hope to help every mother out there not to just feel better about themself as a mom, but just to help them get through the day. Motherhood isn’t always easy and it helps a lot to have someone to chat to. Especially someone who knows what you are going through and who is going through the same thing. Who knows… you might even pick up some helpful tips and tricks.
A lot of women struggle the first few days. I hope to provide them with a shoulder to cry on so to say. Not only does the blog offer advice, information and a safe place to chat, I also want to assist when it comes to buying baby related products.
I will be posting articles on a couple of subjects that a lot people don’t want to talk about or sometimes don’t even know of and I feel that you should know about and make informed decisions when it comes to your baby, your body and your family.

28.The Mommy City

Mommy blogger living in Cape Town with her husband and two toddlers (aka monsters). I started blogger after my daughter Paige was born as a way to keep connected with the outside world and share my experiences. Deciding on what to buy as a pregnant mom was overwhelming and often the purchase choices were expensive. I couldn’t find many South African reviews and on products that were available locally. By blogging I hope to help parents find good buys, hopefully save money and also find useful resources to make family life easier.

While Nicky has been away playing tennis at Cradock I've been alone at home and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I opened up extra slots on a Friday night but the jokes on me as my regulars just moved themselves there. 😂
Mittens was confused and waited for Nicky. He is even sleeping in the donut beds I bought due to the cold. Finally.
Anyway I am glad to have Nicky back and let him play some airsoft on Sunday. He had fun.
Happy Monday everyone. How was your weekend?

Just to say, two weeks ago I didn't post any photos. We had an awful time in Uitenhage and for the first time actually skipped a round and went home early enough before it got dark.

Just remember that winning only comes after those tough times.

OH and my wall is finally up! Major victory!

I really feel like we turned a corner this weekend.
After days of pain, Nicky had dental work done and he is no longer in pain. Such a nice emergency dentist who met us on Saturday afternoon to get things done. 
Also the airsoft gun is finally working!
After weeks of getting the charger sorted we realised the batteries weren't fitting in the gun. Thank God for Linda and her crew at @planet_paintball.pe who exchanged a part to make the whole thing work and let Nicky try it out with some other people. At no cost. We are so grateful.

So, you might be wondering why there is a hole in So, you might be wondering why there is a hole in my wall.

Last Sunday night we heard a crash but I thought it was from the other side. I thought I should look at my phone to see what was going on and saw missed calls from my neighbor.

Some guy had literally driven into my wall.

So while we have been dealing with fixing walls, insurance claims and a lot of follow up, what is a girl to do but take refuge in a chocolate desert?
