My experience with various stages and things that attribute to my journey
The Pick n Pay Virtual Winemakers Table set the perfect scene for a cozy girls night in, just the way we like it. The evening promised a blend of virtual wine tasting and gourmet eats all from the comfort of our homes. Excitement was bubbling and glasses were ready to be filled. Pick n Pay Wine Club delivers wine and ingredients to create canapés to your front door! It doesn’t get easier that this! The stage was set with wines from…
We are already in Q2 of 2024 and I’ve found myself hitting the ground running, but not in the most productive ways. Planning went out the door as the year started off with a bang. I know the strategies, I know what helps me thrive but life carried on and I went with it and now find that not having those structures in place is holding me back. It’s time to take a step back and possibly restart, or at least…
One of the most important lesson’s I’ve learnt on this, let’s call it, leap of faith journey is that every interaction is an opportunity.

Sometimes we cling onto something so tightly because it’s comfortable or because it’s easy, not realising that sometimes it’s in the uncomfortable positions, where we challenge ourselves, that we are able to grow and prosper.
A few lessons from this experience: Number 1, make sure you lay down a drip sheet. You will mess. Don’t lie to yourself.
Jayme asked for a bunk bed and I knew this would be the only opportunity I would get to move them into one room together and to stop co-sleeping at the same time. Soon Jayme will be too old to want to share a room with his little sister, so it was now or never. My idea for the space was to make it calm, functional for a little boy and girl and something they would both enjoy. I wanted…
When someone puts your child in an uncomfortable position, take their side, make them know you always will if someone makes them uncomfortable, it’s a sure way to cultivate a safe space.
