Loving… Cloud + Co {Baby Brand 2}

June 9, 2018

I recently discovered yet another original and local baby brand which I love, called Cloud + Co (you can read about my first baby brand feature here). The owners say that they’re inspired by the Scandinavian aesthetic, and it shows in the carefully curated items for babies and kids. Each of the products could easily…

Loving… Giggle & Co {Baby Brand 1}

May 30, 2018

I have to be honest – I feel like the current trends in baby & kids decor are getting a bit stale.  So many of the shops, markets and social media feeds are filled with the same cookie-cutter design ideas – there’s A LOT of chevron, woodland creatures and tee-pee’s!  Don’t get me wrong, many…

Loving… a guide to South African maternity wear

March 16, 2018

I think one of the most frustrating things about being pregnant in South Africa is the lack of maternity clothing options.  I remember being so excited to buy my first “preggy” top when I was pregnant with Evan, but this was quickly overshadowed by a disappointment in the lack of availability and variety in local…

Loving… choosing a prenatal vitamin {not really}

February 24, 2018

When you fall pregnant, you’re suddenly inundated with choices that you have to make.  Big decisions, like where you want to deliver your baby, who’s going to be your healthcare provider, what are you going to name your child?  And these big decisions are mixed with millions of other decisions that you need to make…

Loving…new nursery trends {Part 1: floral fantasy}

November 11, 2017

I have to be honest with you – Evan does not have what many would call a “Pinterest-worthy” room.  We did pretty major renovations in the months before he was born (actually we still had workers traipsing through our house when he was a week old), so I didn’t have much of an opportunity to…

Loving… A birth story {Meeting Evan Almighty}

October 31, 2017

Not everyone is a fan of birth stories.  I’m not even sure how I feel about birth stories.  Firstly, I hate the term “birth story”.  But then I think that any of the alternatives, like “birth journey” or “birth memoir” sound even more pretentious, so I’ll stick with birth story for now. I’ve had mixed…

Loving… DIY magnets {Baby’s first craft}

May 7, 2017

A couple of months ago we celebrated our first Christmas since welcoming baby Evan to our family.  Since I knew that he would be spoilt with gifts from family members, I wanted to organise a token gift for each person that was “from” Evan.  Thankfully a friend spotted these DIY fridge magnet kits at The…

Loving…baby essentials {A South African guide}

February 5, 2017

When I was newly pregnant, I attended a baby expo. I was initially excited about buying our first few baby supplies, but instead I left the expo feeling completely overwhelmed. I had no idea what we needed, apart from the obvious items, like nappies and a cot. But even for those items, there was so…
