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.

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.

24. For His Love

With the birth of my son began the hardest episode in my life: Postnatal Anxiety and Depression coupled with PPOCD. I started my blog to bring a lot more awereness of PND in South Africa. I needed this blog a long time ago, someone to tell me that I’m not alone…I searched and searched, and met beautiful women from the Netherlands, USA, China…all over the world. But none from my country, none in my culture. I cannot be the only one, not when 13% of women go through this. And so I share my story and journey to help others after me. It just might save somebody’s life.

36. 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!

38. Daddy Blogger

This blog is neither aimed at dads only, single parents nor parents of young girls alone; it is however borne of my own experience as a single father of a young girl. Of course, all children are different, some athletic, some outgoing. My one conclusion is that it is neither purely nurture nor nature but a combination of both and as I have no control of the nature side, this is my guideline for nurturing your children.

If you ask her about anything you can safely bet that her answer will include some reference to Terry Pratchett’s writing.

54. Kimmy and Bear

Kimmy and Bear was founded by three sisters, all in varying stages of motherhood – Alex is mama to four and a half year old Honor and expecting her second baby in October, Bailey is mama to toddler twins Anna and Florence, and Cheska is a new mama to baby Francie who was born in March.

We wanted to create a space which rises above the clutter than can overwhelm you as a mother, and rather focus on the beauty of the mamahood experience. A space which inspires you – be it through nursery decor, a new clothing range, or a quick tip in the kitchen that will make your life a little easier. A space that focuses on style and beauty while carrying a babe on your hip. A space to share a glimpse into the lives of other mamas and mamas-to-be to be that may make you laugh out loud or even cry as you realise that we’re somehow connected through this journey we’re on.

And so we started Kimmy & Bear – the curated mama and babe experience. It is named after our parents whose grand children call them Kimmy and Bear.

Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest 

55. What do I know?….I’m just a mom

I’m using this as a place to put my concerns, joys and tribulations. I envision it being interactive, so would like to start some by posing questions, but I know the SA blog culture is not to comment. If I get readers, great, but would just love for it to be a place where my experiences translate into answers for other moms.

56. Baby YumYum

BabyYumYum’s community and blog was inspired and created by real parents who understand the stresses and challenges of life and it aims to be THE leading platform to engage with mothers and caregivers .

Initially BabyYumYum was formed to focus purely on infant formula feeding. While we know that breast is always best( as per WHO recommendations) and support this mantra, there are many times when breast feeding is not an option. Maybe a mother’s breast milk has dried up or is not enough to sustain the baby, maybe the baby is premature and is unable to latch, or perhaps the baby is adopted, or what about if the mother has an illness which could harm the baby….. whatever the reason BabyYumYum is here to bring its followers everything they need to know about formula feeding baby safely and correctly, without judgement and with loads of tips and advice thrown in from professionals.

This community has now evolved due to demand and focuses on many other baby and parenting issues such as feeding, mental stimulation, nutrition, hygiene, sleeping and whatever is on a caregivers/mommies mind. It also assists in influencing purchase making decisions via credible information, peer comments and our independent reviews whilst forming trusting relationships.

Most of all, I am Proud to be South African, no matter what that means to the rest of the world.

58. Rambling of a Nutt

I would like to think my blog as inspirational, or one that people can read and think “wow! I am so glad that I am not the only one!” … it is filled with everyday happenings, life, politics, being a mom, as well as things and happenings that are super close to my heart.

Welcome to my blog, Sleepless in Jozi! Here you will find articles on the everyday adventures of being a mom as well as everything that captures the little things Mom’s need to make life with a little one just a little lighter. I am a busy body mom and wife who, you guessed it, lives in Johannesburg and who has a passion for learning and sharing all the joys a crazy awesome family brings.

I love to travel, exploring new streets, towns and cities, finding new places, meeting new people, reading lots and lots and lots of books, the sea, sunset, sunrise, red wine, white wine, any wine, good food (especially pancakes on a Sunday morning), fireplaces, knitting, family holidays, date nights, the outdoors, swimming, spring, snow, the winelands, talking, laughing and big, loud family lunches.

67. Mom De Plume

I like books, blogs, words, fonts that make words look pretty, photographs, food, tea, travelling, postcards and punctuation. I particularly like the Oxford comma. I dislike fish, and accidentally stepping in water while wearing socks.

68. Do I Always Crave Cake 

While other mommies sway gracefully between milestones, I remain a vomit-scented mess who is always short a nappy. This blog is my record of how I survive these trials, with a few life and career misadventures thrown in for good measure.

Twitter

69. Threes A’loud

I am a thirty-something mother of three, manager of four and wife of one. I juggle all these responsibilities with my professional interest in red wine. Possibly I juggle all these responsibilities BECAUSE OF my professional interest in red wine.

Like most moms I am just figuring it all out as I go along. I believe in standing up for your own beliefs but respecting all the different views on parenting.

What can I say about Rustenburg.. Rustenburg has What can I say about Rustenburg..

Rustenburg has massive mountains. They are beautiful, but difficult to climb.

The chess was challenging and Nicky got 4.5 out of 9 rounds, ending in 42nd position.

My hire car struggled up the hill and the clutch started smoking. After that I came early to make sure I got a parking spot at the bottom.

The electricity was intermittent. Out Guest house had a generator which they turned off at night so Nicky had to make do with a small portable fan.

Despite all this, we are grateful for precious moments which made this trip worthwhile.

All in all I'm also super grateful that we made memories and to be home safe.

I don’t think anything prepares you for the magnit I don’t think anything prepares you for the magnitude of the educational expenses of having a child. 
And the weight of making the right decisions for the right schools. 
While I’m drowning in applications and decisions, what is nice to know is that the Liberty financial adviser is there to chat to you and support you with their educational protection solutions.

Just remember that no matter how big you are, if you put yourself in the right place, you can empower yourself.

Trials 1 done and dusted and Nicky came third. First time in the under 16s so not bad.

Would you like to create content but you lack foll Would you like to create content but you lack followers?

There is another option.

User generated content is where you produce content for brands, and it really doesn't matter how many followers you have. 

Lakeisha Mugo from Kenya has put together a UGC guide that will give you the plan that you need.

What I liked about this guide:
📱No fluff, real steps.
📱Great ideas for engagement and what really makes a thoughtful comment.
📱Loads of templates for everything including letters to brands and even for feedback on your work. 
📱Africa specific and relevant.
📱How to make sure that you charge according to the different levels of UGC

It's all up on the blog! So go ahead and read it.

It's that season where we are going around looking It's that season where we are going around looking at high schools.

I know. Time flies. How did we get here?

I loved the quotes on the walls and the art work of the students. If I had to do school again, I think I'd do more art and cooking.

What would you do?

Anyway, let's hope Nicky gets accepted somewhere for next year. These applications are a lot of work. But I've done 3 of them now. 

Nicky really likes this school. And of course he went straight for the chess.

Life in cartoon form. Ask Chat GPT to make a cari Life in cartoon form.

Ask Chat GPT to make a caricature of you based on what it knows about you. You'll get a better result if you tell it what you do. The first attempt was slide 2, it thinks I am a doctor. And I never ask it medical questions. 

Try it out and see what you get.

After working from my mom's home, I had a new appr After working from my mom's home, I had a new appreciation for my work space.

But I needed to do something different. I needed to turn it around for the light. But the alarm antenna stuck out in the corner.

I was busy doing a blog post on bringing nature into your home and I got inspired to put a green feature there and bring in two flower pots. I also got some baskets to clear the clutter.

You have the power to rewrite your story and create something beautiful.

You just need that push to start.

Consider yourself pushed!

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water but no power. Lastest news is we might have it by Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
I wanted to do laundry today and brought the maid to my mom's house and everything but because it's a cloudy day the solar is only on two dots so we've got to conserve power.
