Tiny Tribe Kids
Tweet As I have mentioned before, I am obsessed with all things cute for little people. For as long as I can remember I’ve had the obsession for little people, not in the politically correct / incorrect sense but in the little human sense. From pregnancy to when they’re old enough to fight with the powers that be, I love kids. More so my own, but I love them. Keeping them looking somewhat stylish and yet comfortable has been one of my many parenting goals for both my boys. I say somewhat as I’m definitely not the most “On trend, trend forward” Mom as clothing needs to be practical. They…

Pampers Unisex pants
TweetA while ago I was asked to review the new and improved Pampers pants for Joshuah and I jumped at the opportunity as we’ve had a constant challenge with finding something suitable for him from birth. Since I was 13 weeks pregnant and given the all clear by my Doctor following a miscarriage at 10 weeks, Carl and I started in investing in nappies. When this baby was due to arrive we wanted to be sorted and in true Thomas ways we searched all the nappy deals and purchased almost R4000 worth of nappies. Packing space was slim to none-existent and the nappy tower began developing much like our little…

Getting crafty these holidays
TweetSeeing as though the holidays are almost here I thought I’d do a fun post on various arts and crafts activities you could do with your kids during this period which will not break any budget and which the kids will enjoy! Also great to do over weekends when the rain keeps you indoors. Lets face it, kids don’t like walking around a shopping centre and if they’re anything like mine then they’ll appreciate doing a hands on activity so much more! This will also keep both Mom and Dad sane when cabin fever sets in. Enjoy getting crafty! 1. DIY balloon bowl Definitely something we will be doing in…

Please and Thank You
TweetRemember, please and thank you these are the magic words, if you want nice things to happen it’s the words that must be heard… Anyone else know this kids song? Its from Barney. Well raising our boys with manners, is one of the non-negotiables in our family and in our home. Simple you may say, or obvious you may think BUT it actually is VERY hard and takes WORK. We, I think, have pretty awesome boys. They behave well most of the time (the acting out is normally just in the confines of our home when only Carl and I are witness to it), they say their please’s and thank…

The Father
Tweet Growing up I always looked to my Dad as my hero, the provider, the head of our Spiritual home, the protector, my supporter. I think that this is what most little girls do, they love them through the good and the bad. We put them on a pedestal and when we look at them we think “My Daddy”. But as we grow older we see their flaws, we see their raw emotions and in my case we see them at their weakest. Slowly they move lower and lower off that pedestal. We learn things about them, we fight with them, we get angry, we blame them, we go silent,…
