All Things Motherhood
As a mum of two constantly redesigning small spaces on a budget, I’ve discovered that the right kitchen table centrepiece can transform your dining area without adding clutter. So maybe you’re preparing for a family meal or a casual gathering. Or you simply want to refresh your space. These ideas cater to various styles and …
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I remember obsessing over baby name lists at 2am, sipping lukewarm tea and texting my husband, “What about Magnolia??” (He said it sounded like a plant, and yes, I’m still a little bitter.) There’s just something about southern baby girl names. The kind of names that sound warm, …
As a mum of two constantly redesigning small spaces on a budget, I used to be skeptical about all-white kitchens. Wouldn’t they feel too clinical? Too high-maintenance with kids dropping food every five minutes? After finally taking the plunge though, I’ve realized that with a few thoughtful touches, a white kitchen can actually feel warm, …
As a mom redesigning small spaces on a budget, I’ve gone down many Pinterest rabbit holes trying to make neutral kitchens feel high-end without completely overhauling the space. One combo I keep coming back to? Cream and gold. Understated, warm and just luxurious enough to feel special but still family-friendly. If you’re wondering whether cream …
As a mum of two, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit browsing baby name lists. Often late at night or halfway through folding laundry. There’s something about finding the name that just clicks. I’ve always leaned towards names that feel gentle, a little poetic and full of meaning. Especially when we were …
As a mum of two who’s helped plan more showers than I can count (between cousins and close friends) I can tell you one thing: summer baby showers hit differently. The sunshine, the fresh fruit platters, the excuse to hang paper lanterns in the garden. What’s not to love? GET: Baby Shower Word Scramble Game: …
As a mum of two, juggling the usual rush of school runs, picky eaters and everything in between, I never expected school events to feel so unfamiliar. However, there I was (at a PTA coffee morning) realising I was the only Black face in the room. Again. Being the only Black family at school isn’t …
I don’t know who needs to hear this (ok, probably all of us parents) but teachers deserve more than a mug that says “#1 Teacher.” They’re spending all day pouring into our little ones. Listening to endless stories about dinosaurs, peeling stickers off desks and somehow keeping everyone alive and learning. That’s no small feat. …
If you’ve ever heard someone shout “Luca!” across a piazza, you already know Italian names carry a certain charm. Maybe it’s the way they roll off the tongue or the depth of their meanings. Those names just sound like poetry. Looking for baby name inspiration? Writing a story? Or maybe you’re just obsessed with that …
C-section recovery is no joke. I don’t care how “routine” or “common” people make it sound. If you’ve had one, you know it’s major surgery. And if you’ve had more than one, like I have, you get a front-row seat to how different each recovery can be too. READ:Emergency c-section vs. Planned So if you’re …
