3 500 babies SURVIVE abandonment in South Africa e 3 500 babies SURVIVE abandonment in South Africa every year!  Let that statistic sink in.... It's heartbreaking! ๐Ÿ’”  Thank goodness for NPO's like @themaletsatsifoundation who offer family away from family, a pit stop for vulnerable babies and children in need.  But they need our help to keep going and to keep being the safe space for these babies & children to start rebuilding their lives.  This is an NPO that I am SO passionate about, so today, I blogged (link in bio) about a couple of easy ways we can all make a difference in a vulnerable baby's life.  I mean first off, you can start by purchasing my KweenAger merch that was done in collab with @bmerch_sa, swipe to see the range. The proceeds from the sales of these items are donated to @themaletsatsifoundation  Or you can become a virtual volunteer for @themaletsatsifoundation by simply clicking a button. Head over to my blog post to read all the details!
This tweet by @nolwazitusini was like a sucker pun This tweet by @nolwazitusini was like a sucker punch to my gut when I read it this past weekend.  It sums up the thoughts that have lived in my head and the fear that has dwelled in my heart from the moment I became a mother.  The day after Ava was born, I looked down at her perfection, at the tiny, innocent sleeping form and I knew in that instant, I KNEW, I would lay down my life to save hers. But, in that same instant, I also knew that I would never be able to die in peace because I'd never be able to leave my children behind. I had the same experience with Hannah's birth too.  I thought about these words while thinking about @sindivanzyl passing. I thought about these words while I watched a documentary on the holocaust. I thought about these words in relation to women who die at the hands of a partner. I thought about these words in relation to every mother that has ever walked this planet.  If we are mothers, do we ever pass in peace?
Prabal Gurung said that nails are the period at th Prabal Gurung said that nails are the period at the end of the sentence. They complete the look.  Then I need to add that if that is true and I believe it is, then @nobi_nails is the grammar teacher I simply can't live without!  How gorgeous are these soft, creamy nails with brushed chrome accents?  If you're in the Randburg area, make sure you get in touch with @nobi_nails and let her work her magic on your nails!  Nqobi has been doing my nails for 5 years now and I've never had a bad nail day! She uses rubber base and not only is she a true artist when it comes to nail art, but she's also the only one who can do my nails without it lifting or being less than perfect, EVERY SINGLE TIME!
