PARENTING

Awesome Parenting Blogs In Cape Town

25 January 2018
5 Facebook Twitter Google + Pinterest

Over the years I have had the opportunity to be interviewed a few times and it’s been fun sharing our story with others.  Usually every single interview contains the same question – Why did you start blogging?  And when I answered that recently in another interview, it got me thinking about how we started this little space.

In the beginning it was solely just to record all our memories as a family because writing them in a book just wasn’t happening.  (I mean who even prints out pictures to paste into books?  Not me that’s who).  But then our blog became so much more than that as I started to connect with other like minded Moms.  It honestly changed my outlook to know that I was not alone in the things that I was feeling and the joys and frustrations of parenting.  Aside from a few close friends, the moms in my computer talked me through some pretty weird experiences in my life.

So if you are a Mom, wanting to know that you are not alone in whatever it is that you are experiencing, I want to introduce you to some more awesome Moms.  I hope that you find a couple new people that you relate to that you would like to connect with.

SURVIVING THE MADNESS

Facebook   |   Twitter   |   Instagram

Oh hi! I suppose introductions are always a good thing. The Husband and I became parents in 2013 and it took me a while to start this blog. Being on maternity leave is not conducive to blogging. Having a baby on your person 24/7 hinders the ability to use a keyboard but here we finally are! Alive and kicking on the Internet.

I try my best to keep this a positive space as life is hard enough, so expect to only see positive reviews. Oh, and I try to add a healthy dose of giveaways, because who doesn’t like to win?! I hope you enjoy your time here!

My heart is to start conversations around this topic and to make adoption more ‘normal’ by creating a network for adoptive moms to share their stories, be encouraged and also feel part of the ‘mommy community’.
