2014

1. Growing Peanut

Falling pregnant after 5 years of trying, giving up and making other plans.

2.  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.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

3.  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

4.  Harassed Mom

Most days I am consumed by the mundane chaos of every day life with baby girl, a  toddler who has an obsession with climbing, a kid who lives in Never never land and an over achieving tween, a ADHD dog, an over stressed bird and a triathlon obsessed husband.

Facebook Twitter

5.  Mom’s the Word

I am an average, mostly hardworking mommy of one very busy little boy and pregnant with my second, who will probably never completely lose all my pregnancy weight.

I try my best to not be the worst mom in the world – i read most parenting books and manuals out there, and try to find a structure and parenting model that fits us.

This journey is an awesome way to meet new people, gather invaluable opinions – not all followed, encounter opportunities and people I never otherwise would have!

This blog is a way to make sense of my journey – to keep myself accountable to be the best mommy to my little boys and to keep sane all at the same time!

Facebook Twitter

6.  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

7. Diary of a fit mommy

Carla offers professional advice in the form of articles, weekly topic
discussions, daily motivations, nutrition and exercise.

Follow her blog for the latest fitness tips & her journey as a new mom.

Learn to love your new body and embrace the change, while becoming lean, fit and healthy.

Facebook Twitter

8.  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.

9.  Me.Im.A.Mama

A look at my journey through motherhood.

Facebook

10. Hands-On Moms

Hands-on Moms is a handy resource aimed specifically at South African moms and dads. We feature DIYs, news and articles relating to pregnancy, child development, breastfeeding and more!

Being a fledgling blog (Est. 2015), we are still in the process of filling our pages with content. But with new articles every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday – you are sure to find that we will be leaving the nest in style shortly.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

11. 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

12. My Spreadsheet Brain

I blog about life as a wife, mom of 2, step mom to 1, music reviewer, experimental fashion tryer, lover of God and scholar of life.

Facebook Twitter

13. Treatmesweetlie

Meeting my princess helped me to find my passion – motherhood. I am inspired by the untold stories of motherhood. My blog is about sharing my moments with you, good and bad, to show that life happens to everyone and to inspire you to capture each and every of your moments.

Facebook Twitter Instagram

14.Coffee at Claire’s

An atypical parenting blog. We parent. We drink wine. And we do those things at the same time.

I am not your cup of comfortable tea. I shoot from the hip. I say it straight. It gets me into trouble, but it also got me this far.

My mother always told me to watch my mouth. And that having a blog and a twitter account is probably not the wisest idea considering I do in fact have a big mouth.

But I know who I am and it is time the rest of you know too. My name will be printed on the spine of many books.

I do not follow the herd. I stand alone. I am fiercely independent. I am a unique person in a world of simple copycats. If you need an antidote for generic – I am it. (Ok so I adapted this off my favourite restaurant menu, but big ups to OMB!)

I am…

A parent. A writer. A friend.

Facebook Twitter

15.Simply Balanced Beginnings

My blog, Simply Balanced Beginnings, is an online parenting resource for thinking parents. I aim to inform parents on the choices presented to them during pregnancy and parenting, and to empower them to then make informed decisions based on the knowledge they have.

I practice and support breastfeeding, attachment parenting, baby led weaning, baby wearing, and loving a conscious eco friendly life. My blog therefore covers all of these topics and aims to keep parents informed and empowered on all topics pregnancy, birth, and parenting related.

Facebook Twitter

16.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.

17.Bits and Pieces

A blog about life – the good, the bad, the games, the coffee, and the food.

Twitter

18.Shell Shocked Mummy

Shell Shocked Mummy is the place I retreat to, to combine the things I love. My family, My love for the written word and my love of life.

I chronicle my life journey with a strong focus on adoption. My hope for Shell Shocked Mummy is to entertain, inspire or to provoke conversations around the things that I am passionate about.

You are likely to find parenting stories but never parenting advice because I am the most clueless mom you will ever meet. I am in the trenches trying to do the best I can at parenting and at life.

Facebook Twitter

19.Mommy and Bobby

I am a single mother who is raising a 8 month old baby girl so I share all my thoughts and feelings regarding that- and I inspire all other single mothers.

Facebook Instagram

20.starterFashionistaMa’ 

A starter mom’s guide,advice and journey to regaining her balance in life, her spirituality, beauty and fabulousity in a new chapter of her life…Motherhood

Instagram Twitter Pinterest

21.  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.
