𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗡

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥? We're having Bangers & Mash Pie and it's become a huge favourite with my kids! It's literally comfort in a bowl, a hearty meal for the whole family. A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across a recipe for bangers & mash pie over on TikTok, I've made it a few times since then, tweaked and played around with the recipe and honestly, it's too good not to share with you. You can head over to my blog (link in bio) for the full recipe. I promise you want to try this one! #bangersandmash #bangersandmashpie #foodforyoursoul #samomblogger #samomblogs

If there is one lesson 2021 has taught me it's tha

If there is one lesson 2021 has taught me it's that in life, there is one thing that you can absolutely never ever earn back, catch up or make up and it's 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. ⏱ Once it's past nothing will give you that 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 back. I've been really emotional this week in the build-up to our relocation. Such mixed feelings, on the one hand, tremendous excitement, and on the other hand, the sadness of the chapter that is closing and the life I'm leaving behind, Jozi has been good to me. But there is also sadness over 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 lost. ⏱ When I left Cape Town 20 some years ago, my mom was 4 years older than I am now, she was 54 and my Dad was still in his 50's too. There is an odd uncomfortable sense of my own past youth when I think about the fact that in 20 years I'll be 70. Just like my mom was in her early 50's when I left 20 years ago. Now I'm returning and in one breath 20 years doesn't seem that long but my Mom is 74 and my Dad is 77 and they're older and frailer and there is this sense of urgency to get home and to get back to them before it's too late. There is also an added feeling of responsibility now that my brother is gone, to be there for my parents in their old age. So much 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 gone.... never to be recovered. I don't regret the 20 years I've lived in Jozi, my career has flourished here, I made incredible friends here, I had some tough experiences here and my children were raised here. But I am sad that the life I chose here came with the sacrifce of 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. How old will you be in 20 years' 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲? It's literally around the corner! 🤯😱😳 #samomblogger #samomblogs #relocatingtocapetown #time

😭𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗦𝗛𝗘

😭𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗦𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗗😭 When I fetched Hannah from school on Friday, we were chatting in the car and I was trying to prepare her for the arrival of the 4th wave, when I told her that it might mean that we leave for Cape Town sooner than we originally planned, she collapsed in a heap and sobbed her heart out. 💔 It's the first time I realized how hard this move is for her, my sweet, soft, sensitive Hannah. She cried because she is leaving her friends. She cried because Carona is "back". She just cried and cried and to be honest, I wanted to cry along with her. I did have a little cry this morning. I'm pretty sure we've all had little cries over the last few days. So much excitement and hope for the festive season just dashed. All the plans and fun events cancelled and that on top of the fact that we won't be able to say goodbye to most of our friends before we relocate. It's hard. It's hard for everyone right now. I guess there is nothing more to do except put our heads down and get through it. For me personally, it's all the uncertainty around how to make and execute our plans to relocate that is becoming very stressful. How are you holding up? #samomblogger #samomblogs #relocationstress

𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒄 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆? 🐆 My obsession with animal prints knows no end. My husband calls me the "Leeu vel tiertart" because of this obsession! How gorgeous are these beautiful, matt nails with hand-painted animal print by my bestest @nobi_nails And what am I going to do without my dear @nobi_nails from next month when I have to revert back to basic manicures after our move! 😿 #nobinails #rubberbasemanicure #brandambassador

🦋𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗠🦋 My butterfly, my symbol of hope and rebirth. The one who breathed life back into me after a period of such extended darkness. I am SO proud of you! I am so proud of all that you have overcome! Watching you grow in confidence and just bloom into the most incredible human being is such an honour and it's truly a privilege to be your mom! Aside from gushing with pride, I really wanted to offer up some encouragement to the moms and dads out there who may be going through a tough time with their kids right now. Especially if your child is neurologically A-typical. At the beginning of 2020, the start of Grade 4 for Ava, the wheels completely came off. We could never have been prepared for what was to come. Aside from a shockingly kak experience with her then disappointing school, we were so unprepared for her diagnosis of dyslexia & ADHD. But moving her from that environment to her school now has been life-changing for her. And the more she was nurtured in a suitable environment, the more confident she became and the more obstacles she was able to overcome. Guys, we got her exam results last Friday, my kid got an 𝗔 for maths! In fact, she got a number of A's and B's and nothing lower than that. She is absolute living proof that neologically A-typical children 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 need a dumbed-down curriculum, they need to be taught in a medium that suits their learning style. You really cannot force a square peg into a round hole but when you adapt to their learning styles they will blow your mind with their brilliance. Next week, when school is over, I'll share the name of the brilliant school she's been attending. We are devastated to be moving her from this magnificent school. #assistedlearning #assistedlearningschool #atypical #neurologicallyatypical #adhd #dyslexia

𝗔 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗧𝗟𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 And it's a goodie! Today is the start of week 4 of m @bodygoalsza journey and I am really proud of the progress I have made so far! I have stuck to my goal of making this a health journey and not being obsessive about the scale. I've weighed myself twice in the past 4 weeks and the last time was last Monday at the start of week 3 and I had lost 2kg's. I shared before, but my biggest motivator for joining the @bodygoalsza program was health-related. This past year has seen a dramatic deterioration in my health but yesterday morning, I took my blood pressure and I am thrilled to see it back down in normal range (swipe to see) as my blood pressure and heart rate has been elevated since my brother's death and when it was checked again at my surgery a few weeks ago. My heart rate has also come down drastically and is now well within normal range and I can only assume it's due to the regular but gentle exercise. I'm enjoying the program so far because the results of the quiz spits out exactly what exercise you should be doing and how many calories you should be eating, I've found the exercise enjoyable and it does not feel like it's trying to kill or cripple me and the calorie allowance is MORE than sufficient for me, most day I can't even get through the total allowance. I also love that the program is the most affordable of all the online programs and it's designed by a team of qualified experts that are focused on the good health of women of all shapes & sizes. Don't forget, I have a 20% discount code, complete the @bodygoalsza quiz and use my discount code, 𝗞𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗕 #bodygoals #bodygoalsza #sainfluencers
