Top of my forever growing to-do list this holiday has been ‘Teach Oli to tie his shoelaces’. It’s remained there at the top, until Monday when I finally just did it. I think I kept procrastinating it as it signals his start of big school. We had an orientation day with Oli’s new school at…

{Review} TOWER’s superb Scholastic Label range!

On realising my dreams
I’ve always had a love for party planning and event conceptualisation, for as long as I can remember – which is why I got into PR in the first place. I’ve worked at the number 1 Agency in South Africa since I left University (with a hiatus in the middle whilst we lived in the…

The leap to Grade One – I’m not ready!
I still cannot quite wrap my head around my little Oli-pop going to Grade One next year. To see my little baby in a uniform. It’s a monumental milestone, bringing with it so many exciting opportunities and the inevitable change. I wish I could tell you this was all about Oli, but in fact, it’s…

Netflix has revolutionised our tv/series watching at home. With our arrival of uncapped fibre, finally came our subscription to Netflix. Best. Thing. Ever! Our favourite way to unwind, on the nights we don’t need to work (and when the kids are down), is to watch series and chill – such homebodies! The pro’s? No more…
A letter to my second child
When people ask me if having a second child was harder than the first, my standard reply is “No, our second child literally just fell seamlessly into our lives and routines”. And I mean it. With Oli we literally parented by trial and error. We learnt what worked for us and our family and we…

We love holidays of any sort in our home, and we celebrate them all! Halloween for us is a little more about the kids swopping treats and dressing up, than the ghoulish, dark-side of the holiday. This year we’ll be joining Killarney Country Club for their fantastic family event and we’ve been making some little…
Are sleepovers a thing of the past?
I might be that paranoid or overly cautious mom, but maybe I’m not? The more moms I talk to about this the more I’m beginning to feel the general consensus. Simply put, are sleepovers too dangerous to have anymore? I grew up in a tiny Diamond Mining town in Botswana and every single weekend from…

Help! My Baby has Colic!
Colic. The five-letter word that makes every new mother or father tremble. My first born, Oli, had it and those first three months were tortuous for all of us to say the least. Coupled with adjusting to a baby for the first time, raging hormones, and a lack of sleep, colic thrown into the mix…
The perfect Peppa Pig party!
Monday came with the honour of styling a Peppa Pig party for one of the sweetest little three year olds I know! My family has been to Bella’s last two parties, and I know the lengths her Mom goes to, to throw the most special day for her baby girl, so I knew it had to…

An update on our potty training – and what it taught me.
If you’ll remember from this post , you’ll remember that although Soph has been potty trained (during the day) for a year, she was battling with night-time potty training. I decided to potty train her because I thought it was what I should be doing, instead of thinking about how ready she was, and as…
Mommalikeme turns 1!
I can’t believe my little passion project has just turned one! My first blog post was about Oli’s Magic Party, and a year later I’ve just blogged about his Carnival Party! Celebrations all round. I still can’t quite believe how much my ‘space’ has grown in just 12 months. I started the blog as a…
The Carnival comes to town – Oli turns 6!
After postponing the party due to the birthday boy having an unexpected hospital stay – remember this post – the Carnival finally came to town!

A very (un) Happy Birthday.
On Monday night, as we wrapped up Oli’s big boy bike and presents, we struggled to get him to sleep. Not because he was showing signs of any illness, but because he was so excited, he proclaimed he just ‘could not sleep’. I went to bed just after ten and could hear Oli talking, so…
Turning Six
Today, the 7th August, our firstborn, turns 6. SIX. This birthday symbolises so much for me, let alone you, Oli – most of which I’m distracting myself with by focusing on your birthday party instead.

My favourite new find – Kiddylicious snacks!
A close friend who knows my battles with my fussy eater, Oli, dropped off a variety of Kiddylicious snacks for us to try. Oli is notoriously bad at willingly eating vegetables so I’m limited to basically three choices with him, which still need to be washed down with multiple cups of water. Brand new to…

The best indoor activities to do with your kids in Johannesburg and Pretoria this Winter!
It feels like we’ve been living in the middle of the Antarctic lately. Seriously, that was more than just ‘winter’.

The current weather has inspired my latest list of places to keep the kids busy…
The downside to being a working Mom

{Win a fabulous Dettol hamper} Three easy ways we’re busting germs in our home this winter!

{Review: Clarins Double Serum} – why I’ll be repurchasing this!

Night Time Potty Training – why we’re just not ready yet
Oli was the kid that at the age of three decided he was done with his nappies, stuck on a pair of undies and with only a few wet episodes was good to go. That same day he told me ‘no more nappies’ he refused to wear one to bed and after piling up three…
15 signs you’re currently parenting a threenager
Soph’s birthday came around and it was like a dormant time bomb went off, signaling the start of year three, and all the sass she could serve. Her previously slightly ‘stubborn’ streak became more of an all-consuming personality trait. Threenager – The Urban Dictionary defines the term ‘threenager’ as “a 3-year-old spouting attitude like a…

Baking with Snowflake – the easiest marshmallow-frosted cupcakes
A couple of weeks ago it was Sophie’s school birthday ring, which means baking or buying cupcakes. If you know and follow me, you’ll know that I love being in the kitchen, but you might also remember a cupcake incident last year that threw me for a loop and l lost my cupcake-making mojo. Since…

Mom guilt – your kids only need YOU!
A couple of weeks ago I took Soph for her vaccinations. Her 18 month vaccinations. Soph will be 3 on the 6th of April. I gave a high-pitched laugh when our family doctor asked what we’d come in for that day, barely masking my embarrassment of not having had her immunisations done already. Ever the…

{YOU COULD WIN A BROW MAKEOVER WORTH R1850} I got my eyebrows Microbladed – here’s what you need to know!
I grew up plucking my eyebrows overzealously – heavens I wish I hadn’t. Over plucking, a botched wax job by a trainee and possibly just bad genes resulted in sparse, unsymmetrical brows.

Parenting an anxious child – the thing about Soph.
Soph is generally a very happy and easy child (bar her strong will), but over the last year she’s battled consistently with being separated from me, and only me. She’s always been a ‘Mommy’s girl’ but this is taking it to a whole new level – this is the thing about Soph. Separation anxiety is…

Colour sorting sensory box
During the holiday I decided to do a fun colour sorting sensory box for the kids. At 5, Oli is obviously a pro and could sort the colours and name the objects, but as for Soph, not so much.

In a world full of uncertainty, chaos and instant gratification, raising a child that is confident enough in themselves is crucial.
