When did we normalize mamas carrying the whole home on their shoulders?

She works.
She runs a side hustle.
She builds dreams in between school runs.

She wakes up before everyone else.
She packs lunchboxes.
She does drop-offs.
She plans supper with what’s in the fridge.
She stretches the groceries until payday.
She pays the school fees.
She manages the rent or bond.
She keeps track of clinic visits and dentist appointments.
She remembers the concert dates and civvies days.
She responds to the class WhatsApp group.

She supports her partner.
She checks in on her parents.
She shows up for her friends.
She pours into her community.

She carries the emotional load.
The planning.
The organising.
The remembering.
The invisible things no one writes down.

And she’s expected to do it all
with grace.
With patience.
With a smile.

Then we wonder why she’s tired.
Why she needs a quiet moment.
Why she sometimes feels stretched thin.

It’s not because she isn’t strong.
It’s not because she can’t handle responsibility.

It’s because she has been holding everything together for a very long time.
Mzansi mamas are powerful.

But power doesn’t mean doing it alone.
And strength doesn’t mean never needing support. 🇿🇦❤️

A little perk of shopping with mom for the feeding scheme 🍦

Yesterday Emma-Rose was sitting in the trolley while I was doing my weekly shop — chicken, veggies, all the bits and pieces to cook for 50 single mamas, their kids and pensioners in our local community.

And there she was… happily enjoying her free soft swirl.

Not many things in life are free these days. Especially not when you’re buying in bulk and stretching every rand to make sure 50 plates of home-cooked food go out with dignity and love.

So moments like this? They’re sweet in more ways than one.

If you didn’t know:
🍦 FREE ICE CREAM FOR KIDS (16 & under) while you shop
📍 Bluff | Hillcrest | Waterfall
T’s & C’s apply.

Thank you Oxford Freshmarket for adding a little sweetness to my feeding scheme shop yesterday.

Sometimes it’s the small gestures that make a big difference. 💛

It’s been one of those weeks, mamas. 💛

My little one has been down with a middle ear infection — and if you know, you know… it’s not easy seeing your baby uncomfortable. Thankfully she’s getting treated and slowly finding her sparkle again thanks to Homeopath Durban - Dr Dean Naidoo. So grateful. 🙏🏽✨

But in true life-with-kids fashion… while juggling meds, cuddles and sleepless nights, today we’re also celebrating a VERY important milestone — my little dachshund Snickers turns ONE! 🐾🎉 And you know in this house… birthdays = cake. Non-negotiable. 😂

Yesterday, the incredible Brandon from The Underground Bakery blessed my feeding scheme with extra cakes that I dropped off to some single mamas, kids and pensioners. And today? He did it again. 🥹
But this time he added the CUTEST, most delicious Snickers-themed cake for us… AND a pet-friendly cake just for Snickers himself! 🎂 I mean… how spoilt is this dog?!

Brandon, thank you for always showing up for this mom community and for the love you pour into what you do. We appreciate you more than you know.

If you’re on the Bluff, you can find The Underground Bakery on Tara Road — go support local, mamas. 💛

Some weeks are heavy… but they’re also filled with helpers, kindness and cake. And for that, I’m grateful. ✨

Look what arrived today! 🍫💗

My very own Mzansi Mama Chocolate range — and of course I had to try just one… for quality control purposes 😉😋

It’s the finest milk chocolate, but honestly the best part is the special message on each bar. Every time you read it, it just makes you smile. 💕

I absolutely love that they’re locally made, and Halal & Kosher Certified — making them even more inclusive and special for our diverse mama community. 🇿🇦✨

If I was a mama receiving one of these, I’d feel so spoilt and appreciated 🥰💗

I’m busy putting the final touches on my online shop (just a few hiccups — completely unrelated to the chocolates 🙈), and I can’t wait to officially start selling!

And as always, proceeds will go towards giving back to the mama community and building a legacy for my two little ones. 💛

This is more than chocolate… it’s a little reminder that mama deserves something sweet too. 🍫

They say by the time your child turns 12,
you’ve already spent about 75% of the time you’ll ever spend with them.

And by the time they’re 18,
that number rises to around 90%.

Let that sink in.

Ninety percent of the car rides.
Ninety percent of the bedtime chats.
Ninety percent of the ordinary Tuesdays.

We’re in it right now.

The loud season.
The messy season.
The “Mommy, watch me!” season.
And it doesn’t feel like it’s moving fast…
until suddenly, it is.

This isn’t about pressure.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about presence.

About looking up from the to-do list sometimes.
About one more hug.
One more story.
One more “Tell me about your day.”

Because one day, the house will be quiet in a different way.

Mamas, soak up the now — even the chaotic parts.

The days are long.
But the years?
They fly. 🤍

🍫 Something sweet is coming, Mzansi Mamas…

My very first shipment of Mzansi Mama chocolates is officially on the way!

Made by one of the best custom chocolate companies right here in South Africa 🇿🇦 — because supporting local isn’t just a hashtag for me… it’s a value.

These aren’t just chocolate bars.
They’re little reminders that:
✨ You’re doing amazing, Mama.
✨ You deserve a break.
✨ No sharing required.

Launching this online store has been on my heart for a long time. Not just to sell products — but to build something meaningful.

Every purchase will help me:
🤍 Pour back into this mom community
🤍 Create more support initiatives
🤍 And build a legacy for my two little ones who inspire all of this

From one mama to another — thank you for walking this journey with me.

We’re just getting started… and I cannot wait for you to get your hands on these 🍫

Some days, the world feels overwhelming.

The news.
The pressure.
The noise.

It can feel like everything around us is burning.

But then…
we look down.
And there they are.
Small hands.
Big dreams.
Soft cheeks resting on our shoulders.
And somehow, we become their shelter.

Not because we have all the answers.
Not because we’re never afraid.
But because love makes us brave.

We create a bubble —
not to hide them from reality,
but to give them strength before they face it.

Inside our bubble,
there is laughter.
There are bedtime prayers.
There are scraped knees kissed better.
There is reassurance whispered in the dark.

Being a mom means
standing in the fire
and still choosing gentleness.
It means carrying the weight of the world
so your child can carry hope.

To every mama doing her best in a world that feels like too much —
your arms are home. 🧡

Happy Valentine’s Day, beautiful people ❤️

I know, I know… it’s “overrated,” commercial, and a money-making day 🙈 — but honestly? I’ll take any excuse to celebrate love.

And if you know me, you know I’m FULL of it.

So today, I’m choosing to celebrate love in all its forms —
Love for our kids.
Love for our partners.
Love for our friends.
Love for ourselves.
Love for this incredible mom community we’ve built together.

Whether you’re getting flowers or buying them for yourself…
Whether you’re on a romantic date or in your PJs with snacks…
Whether today feels special or just like another day…

I hope you feel loved.
I hope you feel appreciated.
Because you are. Always. ❤️

From my heart to yours,
Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

One of my favourite childhood memories growing up South of Durban was those big takeaway treats from Casbah — giant sandwiches, freezer ice creams, and sharing food with family after a long day.

Yesterday felt just like that again. 🤍

They blessed my feeding scheme with 50 burgers and chips, and it was such a special treat for everyone. Full tummies, happy kids, and so many smiles. Moments like this remind me that kindness really does live in our community.

This project has always been about showing up for families and spreading love where I can — and I can’t do it alone.

If you’re a local business or just someone with a big heart and you’d like to get involved, donate, sponsor a meal, or support in any way…
