{Giveaway} - My Printboutique R350 Voucher| SA Mom Blogs

A few weeks ago we featured Eve’s photography business and this week we are featuring her photo printing business – My Print Boutique.

Eve sent me a collection of the most awesome personalised items. She asked for the photos and the items were in my possession a week later! They were all so amazing.{Giveaway} - My Printboutique R350 Voucher| SA Mom Blogs

Jack particularly loved the personalised plastic cup she made for him with Spiderman on. He uses it every single day!

I love my phone cover and everyone comments on it. It is the first time I have had a personalised cover and I love it!{Giveaway} - My Printboutique R350 Voucher| SA Mom Blogs

The key ring and decoration are also so special. I am going to hang the decoration on my moms tree, I know she will love it.

She also sent us a mug, one of those that how the photo when you pour the hot water in. We have a few of them from the kids school but this one is by far the best quality, it gets used daily and hasn’t chipped or faded at all!

We also got her to make our SA Mom Blogs magnets for our launch – they came out so stunning.{Giveaway} - My Printboutique R350 Voucher|SA Mom Blogs

Eve is super professional, friendly and her service is outstanding.

She has given us a R350 voucher for her My Printboutique to giveaway. This will make for stunning Christmas gifts for grandparents! I have already made a list of the goodies I am going to order for our two sets of grandparents!

 This woman has so much energy and motivation about her! She can lift you up and get excited!
Bernie, thank you for giving me your time and expertise. I appreciate you.
She is also such a supporter and was the first person to book for the @nmbcontentcreators  event.
We were talking all about being in the right room and having the right kind of support. Check out the recording in April when the Creators Hub Online Summit comes together.

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.

#survivorpe #survivorgq #nopower #samomblogs #somewater
When the city tells you that you're not going to h When the city tells you that you're not going to have power for two weeks!

A huge pylon collapsed due to vandalism, wind and rust.

And then your water goes...

You freak out and then you make a plan.
For the first morning, I hot spotted.

Then in the afternoon I went to my mom to teach the rest of my classes.

Since then I have basically moved all my food over to her house and started cooking there as well. I'm also going there to charge everything.

There's no point even using the gas when all the food needs to be kept cold so it needs to be done in one place.

For the water, I now have a system. We flush the toilet with pool water. Wash ourselves and dishes with tank water. And drink from the little tank. 

Nicky has also adapted and is enjoying Granny's chairs.

Oh, and I've also been restyling furniture in my study. If the light is in front of me, it is better.  I've been dealing with work assessments. 

But we can't wait for the lights to come back on and running water.

Until then, I'm super grateful for family.

Nicky had to walk quite a bit today, lots of cars at the school. But we managed to get all the stationery etc on time. 

Happy new school year! I started back on my exercise routine and feeling a lot better.

We just spend some really fun few days in East Lon We just spend some really fun few days in East London.

I'm super blessed because although I've lost a husband, I haven't lost his family. And Nicky had a fab time with all the cousins.

"Humbled" I asked Nicky how he felt after a week "Humbled"

I asked Nicky how he felt after a week of Mzanzi, the interprovincial chess tournament. Nicky played Board 1 for Eastern Cape A team. That meant that he faced the top players in his age category from all over the country.

He won 3 and lost 3 for the team section.

Tuesday was especially brutal. Three rounds in one day (9am, 2pm and 7pm). 

He was also not well. Sore throat and coughing. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, missed the team photos and continued on with the individual competition.

The individual one can take up to four hours. Nicky was doing about an average of three. 

He won 2 and drew 4. From a starting rank of 6 he ended up 17. 

"They don't make any mistakes" he said. 

Last night we watched Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise getting himself out of the submarine. I told Nicky that whatever difficult position he finds himself in, he can do it. 

He drew the last one.

I'm super proud of him and what he has endured this week. It hasn't been easy. He has tried his best. And, like all the other chess parents, I've sat there and waited. 

For me it's not about where he came. It's the joy of the game. While the team prize giving went on, we played in the arcade. After the individual game was done we played in the escape room. (We totally weren't able to escape but it was an experience)

Wherever this chess journey takes him, I will follow and support. And always help him find the joy. ♟️

We went to Playland last night and had a lot of fu We went to Playland last night and had a lot of fun!
Nicky was big enough to go on the break dancer this year and I watched him go twice! He also loved that pendulum swing one. 
For me, I still love the big wheel the best.

On thing I am thrilled about: they had candy floss this year! Getting Nicky some of that was so cool because we used to do that as a child.

So long, Playland, and thanks for the memories!
