Mom and Dad

Besides party planning, the next thing that I like to challenge myself with is kids fashion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not hard to find good quality and visually appealing…

If this festive season has reminded me of anything, it’s that although we think race is no longer a “big issue” – it really freaking is.  So I hope that…

Apparently in 2016 I’m all about making aggressive titles for blog posts.  Unintentionally of course. But seriously.  New Years resolutions can go and suck it. Do you know how many…

We’re finally on holiday. Just thinking the words brings up a mental image of people playing trumpets and jingling all the bells while we do the running man in the…

This year is vastly different to the last, um, I dunno, 8 years of our marriage, in that we don’t have our tree up yet. I could easily blame this…

This year hey? Well, to be fair it hasn’t been the whole year that’s been crap, just probably the last couple of months. I think it started when they broke…

If you thought that The MamaMagic team were going to leave Joburg in a severe state of FOMO you’d be wrong! This probably isn’t news to you if you’re a…

It’s that time of the year again. You know what I mean.  When there’s too much going on and you just can’t think straight.  The to-do list is piling high…

I know holding a baby and not bursting into tears is a pretty normal occurrence.  For most people. But as it turns out, I’m not most people.  If that’s not…

I have so much I want to get out of me and into words on this space, but they just don’t want to flow.  And when they do, I don’t…

It was just another day. Well not really.  It was quite a hectic day at work with more than normal to handle and I was feeling a little frazzled.  Frazzled…

FRIYAY! Guys, this is possibly one of my favourite interviews, although honestly it’s really impossible to pick a favourite.  This week we have both Chetna AND Phill answering the questions…

There is so much I have planned in my head for this week, but putting it into writing, downloading and editing the pics is just not happening.  So I’m taking…

I’m living in the same house as my husband but we haven’t had a proper conversation in a week. Best week of his life, am I right? Seriously though, how…

Ni rang wo hao kai xin! Wait what? I have to thank Ni Hao Kai-Lan for that.  Granted she often makes me want to rip out my own eardrums through my…

We’ve had the absolute privilege of having three kids. And while I am very grateful for them and couldn’t imagine my life without them, do you have any idea how…

Now that we had opened the gourmet can of Come Dine With Me worms, we were hooked. Where did all those fishing analogies come from? Anyway. The annoying thing about…

I am not a minimalist. At least not when it comes to collecting special moments. If I could, I’d fill my walls with precious treasures that we’d collected over the…

Look, I get it. I mean if anyone in the whole World gets it, it’s me. What I’m trying to say is, when you’ve had ANOTHER sleepless night, spent more…

I cannot believe that it’s this time of the year again! Seriously though, how can we possibly be 78 days away from Christmas?  I’m sure I was stuffing my face…

There’s many things that I knew my life had waiting for me. Wrinkles, love shared with family and friends, laughter, too many tears shed watching TV adverts and a few…

Harlequin, Ironman, Thor, Supergirl and White Tiger (not a lost member of the KKK – promise) There’s something that you don’t know about me. I’m an undercover nerd. OK, who…

Hey hey!  It’s Friday!  Can I get a whoop whoop?! I’m glad that you’re back to read the next installment in our series.  If this is the first time you’re…
