🌈 ECLECTIC 🌈 In all my “perfect home” d 🌈 ECLECTIC 🌈 In all my “perfect home” dreams my rooms are all beautifully matched and toned down in terms of colour. Muted natural tones, lots of natural light and pops of greenery. In reality, I have come to realise, I am a collector of NOTE and colour makes me so darn happy. Also my “pops” of green are more like splashes of jungle. I like to think my minimalist goals balance out my maximalist tendencies! Life is all about balance anyway, isn’t it? #gallerywall #livingroomdecor #livingroomideas #eclecticdecor #myrentedhomeshare #southafricandesign
🌸 A beautiful boy and some garden blooms! 🌸 🌸 A beautiful boy and some garden blooms! 🌸 I never ever ever throw away glass jars, we keep them for pickling and also as little vases for hostess gifts. The only spanner in the works is washing the labels off without the sticky residue staying behind. 💡Save this “recipe” for later 💡 Here is your solution for that problem: Soak off sticky labels in warm water, sometimes the label will just glide off effortlessly. That is a win, but when the glue is especially stubborn, you will need some harder working ingredients. Mix equal parts bicarbonate soda with equal parts sunflower oil, put this mixture on your sticky jar and let it sit for about 30mins. Wash the mixture off with warm water and dish soap to get rid of all the oiliness. 🌸 Presto! 🌸 #blooooms #homehacks #kitchenhacks #momtogs #candidchildhood #posy #flowersfrommygarden

🐝🌸 Happy Garden Day from Queen B herself! 🌸🐝 It’s hard to put into words what flowers and gardening does for my soul, but it is one of the most satisfying and therapeutic hobbies that I’ve ever had. The more I read about garden enthusiasts, historical and present, the more I fall in love with the passion, curiosity, creativity, beauty and beautiful patience that it all represents. It truly feeds my being to see a seed sprout, stretch and finally bloom. What a simple yet magical dance, season after season. Generation after generation. 🐝 #gardenday #gardendaysa #gardeninglife #flowerbaby #flowercrown #floralinspiration #petalsandprops
👼🏼 Belén had one heck of a West Coast weeke 👼🏼 Belén had one heck of a West Coast weekend! 👼🏼 A beautiful weekend spent with beautiful friends, and this little pudding refused to miss out on even one second of it. My back was her preferred spot for afternoon naps because that meant she could cruise along to the beach with us or listen to all the stories on the stoep, the FOMO is very strong with this one. 😂 #mamalife #beachbabe #babywearing #babywearingmama #mungotowelstory #towelseries #weskusbeskus
🌱 My giant garden leeks used as blooms in my ki 🌱 My giant garden leeks used as blooms in my kitchen this week. 🌱 We adore leeks and are terrified of running out so now I grow them myself. These two biggies ended up in a chicken, leek and mushroom creamy Bucatini pasta last night, and of course I didn’t forget to add some wine either! “I enjoy cooking with wine. Sometimes, I even put it in the food.” - Julia Child 😝🥂 #cottagestyle #cottagecore #cottagekitchen #simplekitchen #leeks #vegetablegardening #vegetablegarden #potagergarden #kitchengarden #juliachild
💐Morning light 💐 This weekend was quite a m 💐Morning light 💐 This weekend was quite a milestone for Theo and myself even though we didn’t really have time to celebrate. Potty training and a teething tot will do that to you! However, in the midst of all the chaos Theo graciously took over for a bit so that I could find my balance again in my garden. This beautiful chubby pot holding cherub was a thrift store find last week and I couldn’t wait to stuff her with all my garden blooms! Friday was our 10 year “Meetaversary”, we kissed that same day and we have never looked back! 10 fun facts for ten years… 🇿🇦 We met and fell in love on Heritage day on my friends (Theo’s cousin) farm 🇻🇳Lived and worked in Vietnam together. 💍 Theo asked me to marry him on top of Cannon Hill on Catba Island ( Google it, it’s spectacular)…a bit of a somber lookout point but beautiful none the less. 🕷🐍 Theo is in charge of getting rid of snakes, and I’m in charge of spiders. I am petrified of snakes and Theo of spiders! 👩🏻‍🍳 We usually don’t cook together because we are both such bossy cooks. Theo also makes most of our dinners because he loves it, I married VERY WELL. 🎬 We spend more time arguing about what to watch than actually watching something. 🍲 I ask Theo to order meals for me at restaurants! I am notorious for making terrible meal decisions and then having food envy for the rest of the evening. 🔥We both love a good braai and spent one weekend away cooking everything on the fire. I’m talking meat veggies and dessert. Pretty sure we had a tomato in tinfoil on there at some stage. 🍷Theo buys wine after tasting it or reading promising reviews. Me, on the other hand, will always give the pretty label a chance. 💩 And last but not least, we got Hume to make one poop in the toilet this weekend and we didn’t murder each other. Cheers to the next 10 skatlam, I’m so happy you ditched a music festival that weekend for a braai and on your cuzzies farm. ❤️🍷

🍂 Friday foliage 🍂 I’ve mentioned it befo 🍂 Friday foliage 🍂 I’ve mentioned it before but in Japanese culture dead flowers are considered to be terrible Feng Shui. “The belief is that when flowers dry, they lose their Chi and drain a home's vitality. ... According to Feng Shui consultant Rodika Tchi, the challenge with dried flowers is to keep its energy fresh and special.” Ask your heart what it is thinking about your dried flowers, is his advice. Well, my heart loves my dried Hydrangeas! I also had to add the very “influential” Pampas grass just for effect! 😜 The dried leaves are from my Strelitzia plant, they curl into the most beautiful shapes after they dry out. The ultimate foliage dryer and experimental florist @jmflorals taught me this trick. She has been drying all sorts of beautiful plants long before it was cool. 🌸 #driedflowers #pampasgrass #driedhydrangeas #floraldesign #cottagestyle #cosylivingroom #cosycottage #autumnhomedecor #autumndecor #falldecor #cottagekitchenstyle #rusticfarmhouse #rustichomedecor #rusticcottage #thesimplenaturalhome #neutralhomeedit #neutralstyle #styleitpretty #styleitreal #styleithappy #thegoodlife #fauxfarmhouse #countryliving #countrylife #countryhome #myperiodhome #myinteriorsquares #myhometrend #myhomedecor #driedblooms

I will probably always be the mom that remembers about “dress up” days 5 minutes before we need to get in the car! 🤭 Luckily a flower theme is an easy solve in my house at this time of year. 😂 #momtogs #springday #springbaby #springtheme #flowercrown #blossoms #whoteblossoms #floraldesign #cottagecore #stonefruitseason #farmlife
🌸 Spring Confessions 🌸 I turned 34 yesterda 🌸 Spring Confessions 🌸 I turned 34 yesterday and instead of having a light, beautiful and happy day I spent most of it in my room crying. Last year this time, exactly 365 days ago, I got my positive Covid result sms. I had hosted a family birthday party for Hume 5 days prior to the positive confirmation shit show. What followed in those weeks to come still gives me anxiety to this day and yesterday it all just came crashing down. My body had finally had enough. The guilt of feeling responsible for almost losing my father in law. It’s a miracle he survived Covid and is alive today. I know it’s not my fault my logical brain tells me, but we all got sick in MY house my body and my heart screams. The anxiety of that still follows me around. Belén was 6 weeks old at that stage and our entire family was very ill for about 4 days. It sounds so trivial now, 4 days of the “flu”, ja whatever “get over it” I keep on telling myself but it was hectic for us. The uncertainty and the stress, the no sleep new born stage and Covid, not getting info from the docters who were looking after my FIL for a month, my distraught mother in law who couldn’t see her very sick husband in the Covid unit, my sick and feverish husband next to me in bed soaking through our sheets, my sick babies, their sick and grieving nanny who had lost her husband a couple of months earlier. Too. F🌸cking. Much. And there is still no end in sight. One year later and this emotional marathon is still in full force. No thanks, I want the “opt out” option please. Unsubscribe me! So, I’m seeing my doctor today and this gurl is getting back on some beautiful mind healing meds. Take care of yourselves and don’t wait for the wheels to come off like me. You don’t have to feel like this. We are ALL going through such difficult times. If you need help talk to someone. 🌸 On another note, to all my dear and darling beautiful friends who sent me birthday wishes yesterday, thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart. I haven’t replied to most but I will. Promise. Love you! Also. F🌸ck Covid and please get vaccinated so that this nightmare can just end now. #fuckcovid19 #mentalhealthawareness
