Baker Baker

Moms, let’s talk about baker baker. I don’t know about your schools but where my kiddos go, things have become competitive. In fact I’d equate it to the likes of The Hunger Games level of competitiveness. Without all the murder and stuff of course….



So we get the Friday before Halloween as our kids baker baker day. The only thing I could do, to make my kids cupcakes a halloween theme would be to actually bake them cupcakes myself, in which case, the entire school would end up with food poisoning or rock hard cupcakes to throw at each other…. So actually it would have been a real horror show.


I needed to enlist some professional help and luckily I knew just who to call…. Zoë Fountain owner of Zoco Creations. If you haven’t heard of Zoë yet you’re in for a treat (see what I did there) she’s a mom of 2, an artist and thee best baker in Ballito!


I honestly don’t know who was more excited between us to get these cupcakes made. Zoë made these amazing cupcakes for me (which I will of course be taking full credit for at school, just joking, or maybe not.)


I can’t recommend Zoë enough, she’s even making an actual Steve McQueen from Cars birthday cake for my sons 3rd birthday. Pics to follow then.


She’s an absolute delight to work with, full of energy and creativity. So if you’re looking for an expert baker her details are below 👇

Footling Breech Birth

Today is a very special day. It's my daughter Emmas first birthday and also the day she died and was revived. I had Emma at a birthing center with a midwife and doula, my water broke the night before at 11pm, we rushed off to the birthing centre and waited it out.  The midwife checked and all was fine, she'd dropped and was in the correct position (to come out head first) but things changed without us actually knowing. Apparently Ems was swimming around in "the biggest placenta" my midwife or doula had ever seen, which was filled with tons of ambionic fluid. Which is great except this meant that over the course of the night she flipped around. All of a sudden I was in active labour and I kept saying it felt as though she was kicking her way out. Everyone just assumed that she was hitting or punching. Anyway as I start to push, I look down (I was sort of standing/squatting) and I see feet coming out of me, not a head.  It was terrifying, she had turned and was coming o...

Post baby body image

The intention of this post is to reassure every single women and especially moms with body image issues that we ALL have them. These photos of me were taken exactly 8 days after giving birth to my daughter, Emma. I knew I had a "pouch" but I didn't care. I was so proud of my body for the absolute miracle of being able to birth 2 kids, 18 months apart. I was superwoman. My body was a freaking machine! Prior to this, I would've been on a diet for months before allowing any bikini pictures to be taken of me, let alone actually post them. I remember a few years back exercising and dieting like a machine for months before going on vacation to Zanzibar and even then I wasn't entirely happy with my body. The pride I had in my body, was unfortunately short lived though. We are all constantly inundated, with edited photos of women and even though, we all know those pictures aren't real, we still unconsciously shame ourselves for not looking a certain way. My weight has...

Own your mornings!

At the beginning of this year I was on the search for direction, I didn't quite know what I wanted to do but I knew that I needed something for myself outside of being a stay at home mom. So instead of watching brain numbing stuff on TV, I started searching for positive, successful, women role models online. I stumbled on to Evan Carmichael who does these awesome videos on amazing speakers, life coaches, ect Top 10 or 50 rules for success. Unfortunately there really aren't enough women out there doing this work, or at least not being featured. Anyway one day I stumbled upon a top 10 rules for success by Marie Forlio and started listening to her YouTube channel daily. One day, she had this guest on, Robin Sharma and he was talking about this book called, the 5am club, which he had written. I stopped what I was doing and actively sat down and watched the episode. It sounded like an amazing idea, for the first hour you're awake you break your day up into three 20 minutes segme...
