Shopping and Reviews

1. One Step at a Time

Motherhood after infertility: I blog about my long awaited son, born June 2012. Toddler trials, SA life and I like to read books on parenting and infertility.

Facebook   Twitter   Pinterest

2. High Heels and Fairytales

My name is Charlene, and I’m a full time mom to Zee, the most incredible little person on the planet. I love shopping, traveling, chocolate, reading, and music (no specific genre, if its good, I’ll play it at full blast and sing along!). I’ve been married to an amazing, loving man for 9 years. While hubby is at work, my day consists of teddy bear tea parties, cartoons, princess dress up, driving to ballet lessons, mommy-daughter milkshake dates, and reading fairy tales. Oh yes, and in between all that, I squeeze in a bit of cooking and cleaning too. I love this mommy gig, tantrum-filled moments and all.

I blog about style and fashion – what I’m wearing, what Zee is wearing, and sometimes the weird or wonderful outfits celebs are wearing. I blog about places we’ve been, food we’ve tried, things we’ve seen.

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. Baby Blog

Megan Kelly Botha is the author of both a Beauty Blog and Baby Blog.
I am passionate about all things beauty and fashion related and spend most of my time reviewing and trying new products before sharing my experiences here, on my blog.
When I am not blogging, I am recording tutorials while juggling life as a new mom, on a farm with too many dogs and a very adventurous cat by my side, to help with the 300 cows!

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

6. Kookalooks

Hi and welcome to Kookalooks.

I’m Wendy and as the strap line of this blog says, this is a sort-of mommy blog.

I’m a Mommy to Lilia and twins Michael and Grace Mae. I’m a freelance business writer, newly-converted yoga addict and wannabe fly fisherwoman.

While I promise not to overload you with mommy stuff, I do talk about some baby-related things (it’s a huge part of my life, after all).

But this space is also for interesting discoveries, recipes, fashion, books, photography, travel and other lovely finds.

7. The Blessed Barrenness

Music loving, wine sipping, book whore! 40+ Adoptive Mom x2, newbie runner, blogger & fat girl slim with #lchf!

Mommy of a primary school girl, fraternal twin boys, two elderly labrador girls and one lively labrador boy, Wife of a wonderful man, Daughter and Architect. Juggling the craziness of life.

Twitter Pinterest

9. Muse Lee Mom

I’ve just started blogging. It’s a bit of a mismatch of things, homeschool stuff will pop up as will photography stuff, home mom stuff and basically a bit of every, just like a good muesli.
I am a Cape Town based mom, with one boy, he is currently 5. He is a special needs boy and I homeschool him.
I am a photographer, children and families when I’m not being a mom 🙂

Facebook

10. Pretty Please Charlie

I am a 30-something, Afrikaans speaking, dog-loving, wine drinking, chocolate eating, technologically impaired, belly dancing wife and mommy of one. I love sushi, rock music, tattoos, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, all forms of dance and people who are considerate to strangers. And I live in Cape Town. I am passionate about make-up and skincare, but that has nothing to do with my day job. I love trying new products and techniques and telling all what I think. I’m not into fashion – if I like it i wear it. This blog will probably contain ramblings about old and new products, my make-up, my newly found love for natural skincare, a post here and there about motherhood and raising a toddler, and my LOVE for all the people around me.

Facebook Twitter

11.  4aKid

4aKid blog consists of a mix of Ally Cohen’s interests like baking, cooking, parenting etc as well as 4aKid’s products, competition and trends.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

12. 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!

Facebook Twitter

13. Becoming You

I’m a lifestyle & family blogger covering a variety of topics including travel, beauty, style, fashion, family, interiors, photography, inspiration! I work from home as an online writer in social media and am a mom of 2!

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

14. The Dummy Mommy

My blog is about being a mom, wife, full time employee and running a charity. All the fun things that go with that too.

Twitter

15.  Italy Can Wait

I am Lily, an Icelandic living in South Africa with my partner, daughter and baby Bo. I am passionate about many things but suffering from a serious case of baby brain at the moment. Enjoying and adjusting to life in South Africa… And being a baby mum…Again. (It is so much harder this time around!) 

R (My hubby to be) wants nothing more than to retire in Italy.. In the meantime, the kids have demanded a stable childhood filled with fairy tales – so we are, at least, trying to fulfill the stable childhood part…Putting down roots and, to be honest, just trying to get the kids into adulthood semi undamaged.

I want to use this blog to map our journey, get inspired and structure my scattered thoughts.

16. 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.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

17. Woman Under Pressure

A celebration of life, joy, music and success. The world through my eyes.

A focus on the best lifestyle, being a yummy mommy, working hard at your career and enjoying life and faith.

Twitter Pinterest Instagram

18. Heart Mama Blog

This is my personal blog of my journey as a ‘Heart Mama’ to my two precious pies. My heart is to start conversations around this topic and to make adoption more ‘normal’ by creating a network for adoptive moms to share their stories, be encouraged and also feel part of the ‘mommy community’.

 Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

19. Juggling Mom

Welcome to the Juggling Mom blog, the wonderful, crazy chaos that encompasses motherhood for me. The full time juggling act of trying to raise two under 4′s well.

The place where I believe that doing ‘real’ (in all it’s glorious messiness) is the new ‘perfect’.

Writing is something that energizes me, and I started my blogging journey when my youngest, our daughter was born. This is my space where I share about the things that I am passionate about as well as the thoughts that I ponder about. I do a lot of pondering and a lot of laughing. The laughing is mostly at my own expense and it’s my number one tool in surviving life in general! So I guess this blog is part emotional, part humorous outlet for me.

Instagram

20. Surviving the Madness

I write about my life with my tornado of a toddler and I do reviews on things I’ve found useful. I also write about things I love like gaming, technology and travel.

Facebook

21.  My Boys Hood

A fun space created for my boys, Calin (10) and Sashin (3), sharing our adventures, building memories, and posting our favourite things from forts, cooking to books.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

22. The Jozi WAHM’s Guide to Everything

A Johannesburg work from home mother of two shares her news, views and guidance on everything relating to work and play in the city of Johannesburg.

23. East Coast Life

I have just moved to the coastal town of Ballito and my blog now chronicles life in Ballito. There will be posts for people wanting to make the move to the coast and lots of posts about the fun things we as a family do. Restaurant and travel reviews on as regular a basis as our budget affords.

Facebook

24. 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!

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.

Twitter Pinterest

26.The Milk Memoirs

A parenting and lifestyle blog that aims to serve as a breastfeeding resource as well as for many other aspects of parent life in general, and the realness of motherhood. It also serves as a chronicle for my kids one day to have a looking glass into what life was like for us, when they were small.

Facebook Twitter

27.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.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

28. The Mom Diaries

The mom diaries is a blog about raising two little boys and all the mess in between. Like the name states it is a way I as a mom can record all my stories of motherhood : The things my kids teach me and the journey motherhood has taken me on. It’s all a way of connecting with other moms who are are going through similar things and who are looking for a place to commiserate over all the crazy stuff motherhood throws at us.

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!

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.

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?
