2. Growing Peanut

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

3. You, Baby and I

You, Baby and I is a network created to organise events online and offline for parents and kids. We blog, we review and share our favourite brands.

Hi… I’m Shan, I’m 23 years old with a 20 month baby girl from Gauteng South Africa. I’m a Brand Evangelist/Blogger/Vlogger who loves sharing my views and discussing my favourite brands. I got married when I was 21 to an awesome guy =) from Sri Lanka, who shares the same interests as me. We are best friends, business partners, parents, husband and wife. We were lucky enough to be blessed with a baby girl named Kitana on August 2nd 2012.
On my blog, I will be honest and share my emotions as a young mother. I’m obsessed with social media, spa treatments, travel, fine dining and anything baby.

4.  The Erudite Mom

Facebook Pinterest

6. 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

7. The Dummy Mommy

My blog is about being a mom, wife, full time employee and running a charity. All the fun things that go with that too.

Twitter

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

10. Caffeine and Fairydust

Hi, I am Maz. Welcome to my blog/sanitarium.

Even though I am a fashion designer and completely in love with it, this is not a fashion blog.. Well, not completely.

I am a working mom & self-confessed recovering workaholic. I have a gorgeous 3-year old girl and I am currently pregnant with baby #2! I live in the Southern Suburbs in Cape Town with my crazy skateboarding & craft beer loving husband, our two weird cats and of course little miss Mikayla Rose.

This is a place where I can release my thoughts & I have plenty (good, weird, and probably bad!) I don’t want my head to explode, so this will be my outlet.

All posts are based on my personal opinions & experiences, so please feel free to leave a comment; we can only learn and grow from listening to what others have to say.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

11. Pregnant in Cape Town

Pregnant in Cape Town began as my pregnancy diary and grew into “& everything after” with the birth of my first child, Charlotte Rose in February 2014. I share my honest reflections on my journey through pregnancy and parenthood with others in blog posts and on social media platforms.

Facebook Twitter Instagram

12. Working Mother Warrior

Working Mother Warrior focuses on family and work issues as experienced by South African working mothers. The idea is to share information and act as an online support structure.

Facebook Twitter

13. Memoirs from the Meth Lab

30-something Durban mum to 2 year old Ryder and wife to one X-box mad husband. Writing is a joy I’m slowly making more time for in between PR work and the general chaos of living with a little person. Motherhood was a happy fluke. A passionate lactivist. Working on bebe number 2. (Maybe).

Twitter Instagram

14. Baby Babble

Rants, rambles and reviews about having a bun in the oven…

Facebook

15. Crazy Mom Journal

My blog is about my life with twins and a husband and how I deal with every day life. My hobbies and what I love, my interests and fitness is all featured.

16.  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

17. What Happened to My Body

A little space in the big wide web where I can share all the ups downs and daily life journeys of the Thomas gang.

Twitter Pinterest Instagram

18. Me.Im.A.Mama

A look at my journey through motherhood.

Facebook

19. Mommy Says

At Mommy Says we want to provide all Mom’s-to-be with a website that will answer as many of their questions as possible.
We also want to provide a safe place for Mom’s to chat with other mom’s who are going through similar experiences. You don’t need to chat, you could also just read about other mothers’ experiences as we have a bunch of real life stories. We hope to help every mother out there not to just feel better about themself as a mom, but just to help them get through the day. Motherhood isn’t always easy and it helps a lot to have someone to chat to. Especially someone who knows what you are going through and who is going through the same thing. Who knows… you might even pick up some helpful tips and tricks.
A lot of women struggle the first few days. I hope to provide them with a shoulder to cry on so to say. Not only does the blog offer advice, information and a safe place to chat, I also want to assist when it comes to buying baby related products.
I will be posting articles on a couple of subjects that a lot people don’t want to talk about or sometimes don’t even know of and I feel that you should know about and make informed decisions when it comes to your baby, your body and your family.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest

20. 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

21.  Well, This is Unexpected

Newly found blog following my pregnancy journey after being told I wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally and the ride into motherhood. Category: Novice Mom.

22. Tyranny of Pink

Tyranny of Pink is about following your heart. It’s about transition and change and the times we feel so lost as we move from one period in our lives to the next. I want to inspire people to live their best lives while writing about my journey finding mine.

I believe that loving life is completely possible if we just make the decision to follow our true calling. I believe we should all do things in our own original way and that we should always follow our hearts. Sometimes we have to close our eyes and jump without knowing where we will end up.

Tyranny of Pink is a space to be unapologetically me and to encourage you to be you because in the end, all we really have is who we are and the only way to really experience life is to be the best possible version of yourself that you can be.

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram

23.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

24.The Milk Memoirs

A parenting and lifestyle blog that aims to serve as a breastfeeding resource as well as for many other aspects of parent life in general, and the realness of motherhood. It also serves as a chronicle for my kids one day to have a looking glass into what life was like for us, when they were small.

Facebook Twitter

25.  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.

Super proud of these guys! The NMB u14 A team crus Super proud of these guys! The NMB u14 A team crushed it and it was totally worth driving to Alice, with all the potholes, chasms in the road and getting stuck in the mud! Friendships are formed in these times and they had a blast. 
I'm also very grateful to the chess community for helping me and others who got stuck.

The year of chess adventure took a whole new meaning today.

But I'm super grateful for other parents stepping in and helping me.

Great time to admire the scenery.

If you want to know what burnout is, it's not what you think.

It's not because you're overloaded. It's because what you are doing isn't aligned with who you are.

Please go ahead and read my post up on the blog. I really learnt a lot from this workshop.

Thank you to @her_mindset_mentor Althea Ross @your_motivationalcoach Berni Oosthuisen as well as @bloom_delene Delene Burcksrdt.

It’s not just his future I’m excited about. It’s a door that’s open to education and a solid start in life.
