Maz Halliday – Caffeine & Fairydust

Tell our readers all about yourself? I am a young(ish), heavily tattooed and somewhat “out there” mom of two adorable kids – Mikayla & Knox. We recently packed up our suburban lives and moved out to a farm just outside of Cape Town. Farm life is pretty rad, and people always give me the strangest looks when I tell them about our adventures! I started my blog back in 2014 as a way to document my pregnancy – I knew that it was probably going to be the last so I really wanted to remember it all. I don’t know what happened, or how – but the blog became a bit of an overnight success and it has grown tremendously since, despite my terrible spelling. I also work full time as a senior fashion designer for a local clothing manufacturer and squeeze in freelance graphic [...]

Cindy Alfino – 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House

Cindy Alfino – 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House

Tell our readers all about yourself? There’s not much to tell really, I’m just a Mom like all of you trying to make it through to the end of the day with just a touch of sanity left and without any human excretions on my clothing. I’m hardly ever successful in that last one though, somehow three kids produce a lot of um, excretions. My husband and I have been together for a flipping long time now (15 years) and we still like seeing each other in the morning. We have three kids, Kyla (8), Riya-Ray (7) and Knox (5). We stay in the seemingly ever sunny and waterless Cape Town but manage to make it through OK. In a couple of months we’re going to be packing up everything and setting off in our campervan around the country – crazy as it may seem. [...]

Susann Dessel – Goddess

Susann Dessel – Goddess

Tell our readers all about yourself? I am Susann, a farm girl from Limpopo that somehow ended up in Jozi with an Irishman, 3 black cats, a kid – and a story. I have given almost 5 years of my life to chase a dream that specialists said I should give up on. When they said I will never have my own child and will never fall pregnant, husband and I decided that we will try until the day I cannot cope with it anymore. As time passed and the bad news kept on coming year after year, I kept on picking myself up and doing it again until eventually we had 1 kid. We are still working towards adding to our family. What is the main mission of your blog and what content can they expect to find there? Telling authentic stories that will [...]

What is a #MommyHero?

What is a #MommyHero?

This is a tribute to all the Mommy heroes out there. When asked “who has inspired you?” some of the greatest voices, individuals and achievers have said, “my Mom” Being a mom is known for being one of the hardest jobs in the world. Most mommies don’t realize the amazing influence they have on the little lives around them because often the challenges are vast and scary. 1.Ireland Baldwin was quoted on this shout out to all mothers: "I wanted to take a second to just thank all moms around the world. Whether you birthed your children or adopted them, whether you're technically just a step mom, but so much more to the child, whether you aren't raising your own but God had this plan for you, thank you. Thank you for always making everything better. Thank you for challenging us to be better." As [...]
