Today we meet South African mom blogger Zeenah who blogs at Mother of 7.
- What do you normally get up to on an average day? (Give us a brief description about yourself).
Besides having the most challenging job in the world which is being a mom, and besides being a blogger and content creator, I also have a day job. I am currently working from home most of the month which is great for managing my time as a mom to a big family.
- How do you feel about motherhood – what are your struggles and joys?
Motherhood has many challenges and even though this may sound so cliché, the blessings definitely outway the challenges. My twins are now 4 and at the moment, the most challenging parenting that I have to deal with is sibling rivalry between the two of them.
- Tell us about your kid(s)
I am mom to seven, 5 on earth and 2 in heaven. My very first pregnancy was a twin pregnancy.
I have 2 older boys who are now 21 (Aashiq) and 18 Riyaald – understandably these 2 don’t want to be on my feed lol.
Zaeem is now 5 and starts Grade R next year, he was supposed to be our ‘laat lammetjie’, but then God had other plans for us. When he was 9 months, we discovered I was pregnant with the twins.
It definitely is a journey with 3 younger kids, but I would not change a thing!
- How did you start blogging?
Before I started blogging, my very first feature was for Tommee Tippee UK in 2017, I wrote a story for them which was featured on their website.
I was actually pregnant with the twins here without knowing.
I started blogging shortly after that and started blogging more and more as I wanted to share my experience and also reach out to other twin moms.
- Share with us a valuable blogging tip you’ve learnt.
The most valuable blogging tip I have learnt and still use today, is “write the post”. Sit down and start writing (typing) from the heart. Whenever I write, I feel like I am speaking to my very best friend and I hope that my readers feel this too.
- If you make money from your blog, give us a breakdown on how you do it. Give us some of your methods on how to get started on this, or any tips or advice.
Most of my blog posts are unpaid, there are about 3 that are paid. My Instagram posts on the other hand are mostly sponsored. I work with a rate card and my blog post rate is on there too, some brands request blog posts and some not.
