A Day In Wonderland Together With My Toddler


If there is one person I always want to make happy, this is my toddler. Weekends are a bit of a challenge because we don't always have play dates with other children.

And you know, toddlers always get bored very quickly. So I sometimes try in a way to keep my Princess busy with some activity; It's now she doesn't insist on watching Peppa Pig or dinosaurs on television.

When we were invited to the first exhibition of the Fairy Tale Adventures, I was very happy. We went there last Saturday. The event took place in Lyttelton, Centurion, Gauteng.

Here is a list of things we enjoyed at the Fairy Tale Adventures:


  1. To see fairy tale characters in living bodies is an experience. I think I was more excited than my daughter about this. For example, we met Moana and the Frozen sisters, Anna and Elsa.
  2. Children were busy with activities. For example, you have seen children painted with paint and making beads. My little one decorated her own cupcake, with the help of one of the princesses there.
  3. You could sit next to a king's table or sit at the Alice In Wonderland table. Then you could enjoy tea and food with the Sprokiesland characters.
  4. There were also nice things to buy, such as princess skirts and toys that had the theme of fairy tales.
  5. My little one is still excited about her crown and magic wall.

What I’ve learned from Relationships

Most of you probably read the title and thought “damn, she’s using the R word in 2018” but, someone had to.  It’s crazy looking back to young me and what she wanted in a relationship vs who I am today. I can honestly say, I’ve only had two serious relationships in my entire 24 years of life and both of them taught me things about myself that I never imagined and most importantly it taught me a lot about the type of relationship  and partner I really want. 1st Relationship: My first serious relationship started a few weeks before my 18th birthday and it lasted for over 4 years. I don’t really know how else to describe this relationship, other than intense, looking back now I know that I was way too young and I didn’t figure myself out yet. I thought by dating him, I would somehow found my way to me, in a way where he became my identity and the more I thought I was getting close to who I’m supposed to be, the more I lost myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it was all bad,...

Home interiors on a budget

Home interiors on a budget You know when you see someone with the most Pinterest-perfect home and wonder how the hell they managed to afford it? That’s me, every damn time. When you’re not an interiors guru (which I definitely am not), it’s actually surprisingly hard to develop any kind of home styling or theme when you first move into your own place and have the opportunity to go wild. Living in a one-bed flat means I don’t have much space to play with but I’ve decided that 2018 is the year that I make it more ‘me’ (it’s taken me long enough, I’ve only lived here nearly four years). Here are my tips to home interiors on a budget. Get rid of the stuff you haven’t chosen yourself This was a big one for me as I was renting my flat when I bought it so it came fully furnished – right down to the canvases on the walls and the shitty pleather sofa that moults every time someone sits on it. Over the last few years, I’ve gradually binned and replaced as much stuff as I can so that things ar...
