Unboxing our first lie-flat stroller 😮‍💨🙏

This is the Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe. It’s a compact city stroller, so perfect for taking on public transport or in Ubers. It lies flat and comes with a cup holder and weather shield and it’s suitable from newborn - 22kg 👌👌👌

Lunch date with my husband and the mermaid hair I used to obtain with about 11 boxes of extensions now all natural, courtesy of no more bleach and 2 rounds of pregnancy hair 👱‍♀️

Recent scenes 🎬

Sully is getting big enough for Augie to be a little more interested in him 🤝
We went for a walk in the forest and Keenan said that next time I should dress August in “something a bit more cool” (???) 😎
Anything cuter than baby toes? No 🥹
Current hyperfixation breakfast that I’ve had every morning for a week 🍳
Sun’s finally out in NBO ☀️
Another hospital stay for AB - this time for hand foot and mouth. The paed and call said “you guys look familiar have you been here before?” Oh sir, our insurance is keeping this place in business 💸
Somewhere in the night all 3 of us ended up in that little hospital bed together 😍
Sully’s in his rebellious era 🖕
Just kidding, he my angel boy 😇
Pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant with Sully (when August was 6 months old 🥵) I started dreaming about carrying both of them like this and it was as fun as I though it would be 🥰

Lost 💔

My husband and my sister had this gorgeous @famkejewellery necklace made for me with August engraved on the one side and Sullivan on the other. It was a birthday present and I absolutely loved it layered with my @jimnojean pendants. Sadly, I lost it a month after I got it 💔 I retraced my steps, searched high and low, phoned around, but it hasn’t been found.

Working mom 👩‍💻

The transition from one to two babies has not been without its challenges (please, I would like an award for Understatement of the Year) but 7 months in, we’re seeing some normalcy in our lives.

I’ve never spent more time planning, shopping for, cooking and feeding people meals in my life, but at least everyone is eating. I’ve never had less sleep, but we are having some good nights here and there. I’m working and enjoying it. I’m even working out! And on Friday I did dinner and bath time by myself and no one choked or drowned or had to beg the nanny to come back. Baby steps.

Every long night, every early morning, every toddl

Every long night, every early morning, every toddler tantrum and sick day and teething fever and and and…it’s all worth it for these moments 🍃💙💙

POV: Your husband goes to watch Deadpool vs Wolverine and comes home at 11pm with a bunny he’s named Fufu and next thing you know the vet’s there giving Fufu his shots and your toddler is having the best day of his life so even though you’re furious because you absolutely DID NOT WANT a bunny at this juncture you’re also making plans for Fufu’a hutch and adding his “favourite snack” (banana) to your already long list of family meal plans.

All dressed up for @missyrmills Murder Mystery birthday party weekend in Naivasha. It feels so good to get dressed up, drink champagne and try to solve a pretend murder in a beautiful old farmhouse 🕵️‍♀️🧐

The most perfect morning, by @stay_lacle ❤️

The team thinks of everything - from adding two cots and two high chairs to our room, to under floor heating in the living space, to a tiny baby-sized robe for August and baby toys for Sully.

In-room dining takes on a whole new meaning when the family can enjoy a cozy breakfast together around the kitchen table, in their robes.

There is truly no place more comfortable or welcoming. The most perfect winelands property that I always look forward to visiting. Thank you team @stay_lacle for a wonderful birthday 🎂

What’s everyone’s ADHD husband’s current hyper fixation?

Mine is currently heavily invested in:

• Not being into wearing an Apple Watch anymore
• Our pans are killing us (Teflon)
• We are all stupider than we were 200 years ago (1000x more lead in our bodies)

Wine tasting, but make it fun for the whole family 🥰

Ever wanted to visit multiple wine farms in Francshhoek in a day but you have a 6 month old and a 1,5 year old and also you don’t want to drive and you want the kids to enjoy it as much as the grown ups? Let me tell you, the @winetram is your solution. Such an incredible day out for all involved. 12/10 recommend

Miss Ann takes South Africa 🇿🇦 Did you kno

Miss Ann takes South Africa 🇿🇦

Did you know one adult isn’t allowed to fly with two infants? I mean, I can’t even begin to imagine how one adult would fly with two infants, but it’s not allowed anyway. So thank goodness we have Miss Ann.

Our beloved nanny joined us for all 6 weeks the babies and I were in SA and I was so excited showing her around it felt like I was hosting an exchange student.

I know travelling with your nanny gives some people MAJOR like “ok babe are you even a mom?” feelings in their tummies but I cannot even begin to tell you how much I was not going to cope with two babies for 6 weeks (2 of which my husband was in another country) while working and moving to 7 different locations in 2 different provinces without Ann. She makes having two babies and keeping myself fed and watered possible.

We love Miss Ann ❤️

1 Shocking the whole family’s system with Cape Town’s winter
2 When both mom and dad have had enough of trying to keep the toddler from falling down the stairs
3 Taking the train to Surfer’s Corner to stare in disbelief at the people in the water in the bucketing rain
4 Wearing the flower August picked for her on her head
5 Feeding August to the sharks
6 Sombre for the view of Robben Island
7 As scared as everyone else that we were about to crash into the rocks in the cable car
8 One infant per lap on the plane
9 Touchdown OR Tambo International
10 Yikes

PS. I ended up having a couple of mental breakdowns even with Ann around so shudder to think how I’d have coped if she wasn’t 🫠

Wow ok I know you didn’t sign up to follow a kid

Wow ok I know you didn’t sign up to follow a kids fashion account but I gotta share August’s winter holiday wardrobe cause it’s like a 15/10

Wintry heaven @thebungalowhermanus 🍷

There is absolutely nothing my friend @_mishalevin can’t do, and creating the most beautiful home to spend a holiday at the beach is just more proof of her talents. Her incredible eye for detail and taste for fine things have come together to create a space that is as perfectly curated as it it is completely comfortable. What an absolute slice of heaven.

The house has 4 en suite King bedrooms downstairs and a loft with two Queen beds upstairs. We ended up sleeping with the boys in the loft and it was so perfect! The downstairs bedrooms are unbelieeeveably comfortable for people who can sleep in though, with the most incredible mattresses and linen and blackout curtains 🤤 (one day!)

We spent one gloriously sunny day walking the cliff path from the house to the kiddies playground in town and finished it off with a potjie and a glass of @hautecabriere in front of the fire 🔥

Fisherman’s’ Friends 🎣

We stayed in such a lovely Airbnb in Kalk Bay and made the most of the opportunity to walk to the harbour to say hi to the seals every day, pop into Olympia for a coffee and something freshly baked, tuck into fish and chips by the sea, take the train to Surfer’s Corner and enjoy the breaks in the relentless rain. I’ll drop the link to the Airbnb in my stories - it’s perfect for a family getaway and would be even better in summer.
