Why should you listen to me?
Hi! I’m Heather Step! I’ve been blogging for over ten years and you can also find me on my personal blog (One Step at a Time) One Step at a Time (Life after Widowhood) and my ESL website (English Steps). I’ve run in person events (#JoziMeetup) and virtual events (Simple Steps Blogging and Content Creating Summit). I’ve also run the SA Parenting Blog Awards and I’m a sponsor in the Purposefully Influencing Awards. The idea for SA Mom Blogs came when I was trying to find something South African where mom bloggers could get together and share ideas.
I’ve also got a BA degree in English and Psychology, with an Honours in Psychology. (I firmly believe in the power of good writing – although lately I’ve been using AI to help as well.) I’ve got a diploma in Early Childhood Education (Montessori) and a certificate in TEFL. (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
I’ve got a background in teaching and teaching English online is my day job, and I’ll always enjoy it. I love kids and seeing them progress. Writing is my passion, along with promoting the writing of SA’s talented blogging community.
But most importantly, I’m a mom to Nicholas, who is a very special gift to me. He’s the reason I started blogging, firstly for infertility, then as a mom.
We live in Gqeberha / Port Elizabeth, South Africa, with Mittens the cat. (You can see videos of him on TikTok) Nicky is also a big chess enthusiast and we spend a lot of weekends at chess tournaments. (Right now I’m sitting at a chess tournament.)
I’m someone who is always learning and as I learn, I pass my findings on to you, my audience.
Stick around and find out what’s next in the content creation and blogging world!
