2013

1. 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!

2. Running the Race

Me and my family’s running- and healthy living adventures on the southern tip of Africa!  Celebrating life with thankful hearts.

3.  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.

4. The Blessed Barrenness

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

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

5.  JustEllaBella

I’m a working mom dealing with parenting a beautiful little boy after losing his big brother to Neonatal death. This is my life focusing on family, friends, fashion, faith and crafts, can’t forget crafts…

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

6. Acidicice

My mommy/nail/life blog.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

7. Hayley’s Joys

The blog is about my personal style and love for all things pretty. My daughter, who is growing up way to quickly, is the prettiest little angel in my life.

Facebook Twitter Instagram

8. 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.

9. The Kenny Family

A creative outlet for all the things that goes with life with our twin boys. A space where I can share my feelings, experiences and opinions on married life, being a mommy and myself.

10. Yellow Lab

Yellow Lab blog is the behind the scenes to photographers and designers Salomé and Jonathan who run Yellow Lab, a photography and design studio. We share recent photo shoots, personal posts about family, our little boy Odin, fur babies Lily and Poppy and anything else that inspires us, even DIY.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

11. 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

12. Pregnant in Cape Town

Pregnant in Cape Town began as my pregnancy diary and grew into “& everything after” with the birth of my first child, Charlotte Rose in February 2014. I share my honest reflections on my journey through pregnancy and parenthood with others in blog posts and on social media platforms.

Facebook Twitter Instagram

13. Working Mother Warrior

Working Mother Warrior focuses on family and work issues as experienced by South African working mothers. The idea is to share information and act as an online support structure.

Facebook Twitter

14. Elletts in Africa
After dealing with infertility issues caused by PCOS, we came to the realization that we were being called to adoption. We decided to blog our journey for others to follow our progress, but also for those who are considering taking the leap into adoption to understand the process better and have a better understanding of the depth of emotion attached to it. We hope that our story inspires theirs…
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram15. Clara’s ConceptI am a mother, wife, scientist, project manager, fashion and make up lover. A blogger who’s lifestyle reflects personality and fashion decorates it!Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram16. Crazy Mom JournalMy blog is about my life with twins and a husband and how I deal with every day life. My hobbies and what I love, my interests and fitness is all featured.17.  Heart Mama BlogThis 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 Instagram18. 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!

Pinterest

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. What Happened to My Body

A little space in the big wide web where I can share all the ups downs and daily life journeys of the Thomas gang.

Twitter Pinterest Instagram

22. 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

23. 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!

24. 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.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

25.  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.

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.Pretty Please Mommy

Hello! My name is Yasmin, creator of the South African mommy blog, Pretty Please Mommy. I am a working mom in the corporate world by day and a nurturing juggler by night. I reside in Johannesburg with my partner (Wesley) and our 2 kids (Zako and Xia).

Zako and Xia are my world. They light up my life and make me smile daily for no specific reason. They make me believe in magic and miracles. I am far from being the perfect mom, I make mistakes (all the time), I miss being able to sleep late, but one thing’s for sure – the lessons I learn from them are invaluable. They have opened my eyes up to the beauty of living.

I hope you enjoy it!

29.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.
