Health and Fitness

1. The Real Jenty

A blog about me and our adventures. Some stories. Mostly photos.

Facebook  Twitter  Pinterest

2.  Life with a Ladybug

I was Cassie, a 32 year old fun loving, slightly crazy and colourful Jozi Girl. But now I am Mommy, an HR Manager and a Part-Time Student and Full Time Single Mom by day.  By night I’m a future Superhero.

This space is for us to jot down our adventures and misadventures as the two of us grow and get to know each other.  It is also a place where we unveil our plot to conquer the world in high heels and nappies.

Facebook Twitter

3. 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.

4. You, Baby and I

You, Baby and I is a network created to organise events online and offline for parents and kids. We blog, we review and share our favourite brands.

Hi… I’m Shan, I’m 23 years old with a 20 month baby girl from Gauteng South Africa. I’m a Brand Evangelist/Blogger/Vlogger who loves sharing my views and discussing my favourite brands. I got married when I was 21 to an awesome guy =) from Sri Lanka, who shares the same interests as me. We are best friends, business partners, parents, husband and wife. We were lucky enough to be blessed with a baby girl named Kitana on August 2nd 2012.
On my blog, I will be honest and share my emotions as a young mother. I’m obsessed with social media, spa treatments, travel, fine dining and anything baby.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

5. The Erudite Mom

6 Exclusive Pumpers South Africa

I am mommy to an amazing little girl. She was never able to latch onto the breast as a baby so I chose to exclusively pump instead of formula feeding. My blog is a support structure for moms who pump, be it exclusively or occasionally for work. I have breast pump reviews, tips and tricks and loads of links to important information for moms who pump.

Facebook Twitter

14.  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.

Twitter Instagram

19. 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!

Facebook

22. Pitch Her Perfect SA

Life can be so depressing when you always look at yourself and say “If I could only fix this, I will be 100% happy”. I’ve been doing this for ages, always questioning things that make me who I am and wondering if I’ll ever be pretty enough, clever enough, rich enough, charming enough, strong enough. But enough is enough.

We can’t all be a size 6 and our hair may not look as glam as the Kardashians’s. Somewhere inside my head I found a space that knows all my best and worst traits and now I want to work with that.

This lifestyle blog is here for everyone who wants to stop stalling and start brawling against the negativity, embrace this one life and all the itches that come with it. I want to have a little fun and you can join in, engage!

If we don’t love ourselves, why should anyone else?

God has blessed us with an amazing life full of lessons, people and stuff to keep us happy and equipped for the day so why complain?

Use your time wisely, take life by the spanks and show it what your mother gave ya. Make this life Pitch Her Perfect!

23. Legally Brunette & Curvy

My blog is a description of who I am. It is fairly new and it depicts things that are important to me. I have a special feature that I use to write letters to my sons in the hope that one day they will read them and when I am no longer on this earth, they always have words from me. I also write a bit about fashion and health, particularly the Tim Noakes banting lifestyle.

I’m a mom, I am real, I make mistakes, I cry, I stress and I laugh. I want my readers to see this from my blog.

24. Live Love Laugh

All about being a happily married mommy to two girlies, loving vino and chocolate, finding inspiration in beautiful quotes, doing arts and crafts, and my forever weight loss journey!

Pinterest Instagram

25. My Friend Thinks I’m Supermom

Honest ramblings about my life. Blogging is after all cheaper than therapy! This blog is about me taking life by the horns and dealing with it. I love all things local: food, fashion, fun and life. Reviews and Giveaways too.

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?
Nothing like catching up with a friend at @mercha Nothing like catching up with a friend at  @merchantandmillbakehouse we had some good coffee and those brownies are so good.

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!

If you are about to welcome a baby but your nursery or baby room is a complete mess, my latest blog post is for you.

Having everything organized before baby gets here is really going to help your peace of mind.

If you live in Joburg, @organisedbygina can help transform your baby's room into a place that is sorted and ready.

When life is good for your child it's good for you When life is good for your child it's good for you.

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.

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?
