2010

1. Mommyhood with Love

I am writing two blogs at the moment.  In Mommyhood with Love I share my experience as a Mom of two precious girls.  I also share advice if I have any to give.  Four years ago at the age of 31 I became a Mom and have loved every moment since, all challenges considered.  Our girls differ so much in their personalities, but each of them are very strong-willed. It is amazing and such a privilege watching them grow and being their mommy.

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.

3. The Erudite Mom

I am a single mother to a beautiful boy, and I’m loving it. I am an info junkie, my blog is where I share all my research. I follow a natural / attachment parenting philosophy, and am passionate about breastfeeding.

4. Acidicice

My mommy/nail/life blog.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

5. 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

6. 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!

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.

8. Wind In A Letterbox

Wife, mother, writer, bookworm, recovering chocoholic.  Belongs to Jesus.  Blogs about marriage, parenting, family and faith.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

9. Confessions of a Zombie Mom

Zombie Mom, married to Zombie Dad, mom to two precious princesses: Poppet and Pixie.  Seriously sleep-deprived.  Reluctant coffee-drinker.  Recovering chocoholic.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

10. 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.

11.  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.

What will you find on ‘ JUST FOUR MORE MINUTES ‘ ?

12.  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.

13. 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

14. Life with Jamie and Shae

I started my blog just after my boy, Jamie was born, writing about my experience as a mom… I can almost say it’s my mom-diary. My blog documents milestones and everything about Jamie and Shae and also serves as a bit of an online album as I love posting photographs of my gorgeous children.

15.MamaMeeA 

Musings of a woman, wife, mother of 4, runner, blogger, bakestress, lover of sweets and chocolates, inhabitant of Joburg. I am here. I am alive, searching for the More that there must be.

16.Date Nights

Having been married for nearly 9 years with 2 kids in tow, I know how hard it is to keep the romance alive in a relationship. Although I like to think I have a solid marriage and a really wonderful husband, with the pressures and stress of our daily lives as parents, I can see how easy it is to become like ‘ships passing in the night’. If we don’t put in continuous effort to keep that flame burning, it can easily fizzle out. One way of keeping the love alive is by making the time to connect with each other.

Date Nights is about remembering and helping you to connect with your loved one. About having the best relationship you can have. Not when the kids are older or you’ve reached a certain point in your career…right now! At Date Nights I will bring you ideas, great deals, inspiration and more to help you with your journey. And as I embark on this journey with you, I will also share my thoughts and feelings as I commit to going on date nights once a week.
