Happy New Year-2021

January 1, 2021Motivation0

 

 

It is no secret that 2020 was one of the years where we were challenged in more ways we could have imagined. I personally was challenged in all areas of my life.

We are in a new year and things won’t just automatically restore, it is still a process. But I am sure we had a mindshift and want 2021 to be better. There is however so much uncertainty about the year ahead and some of us may be hesitant to set goals. So, let’s do things a little different instead.

The year 2020 rattled us all and we need a reset of ourselves. I am certain in this time we also lost someone or something. But it is time to put the focus back on us again and be better versions of ourselves than in 2020. Especially as parents, our children needs us in your best state, they also went through a lot

 

Let us focus on the following:

-mental health

-personal development

-being present

-healthier food choices

-excel in our gifts

-make time for ourselves

-take one step at a time, progress over perfection

-set healthy boundaries

 

I pray that your spirit will be restored. That you grow into a better and stronger version of yourself. That you will heal. Most importantly, that you have a closer relationship with God, experiences love and have joy unspeakable.

Stay safe, God bless you.

Our first bath I waited 1 week before bathing Bab Our first bath

I waited 1 week before bathing Baby Z, the vernix that covered her skin lasted long and I didn't want to let go of that.

When I introduced her to her first bath I had peace of mind that what I put in her skin is good for her and the environment.  We love our @ohliefnaturalproducts as it do just that. It is organic and gentle on her skin.

Available at most major retailers😁

When did you first bath your baby?

🎶 I get to love you - @ruellemusic

FROZEN MEAL IDEAS Going to hospital means the men FROZEN MEAL IDEAS

Going to hospital means the men in my life will be home alone. Let's not forget loadshedding and all the excess stress that comes with that🥴

Meals that are easy to freeze and won't get mushy is always a win. 

Adding @goodlifeorganicsa spices to our meals ensure for great flavour, it is organic and a little goes a long way.

Swipe to see my meal ideas for frozen meals that won't compromise on taste.

What meals do you usually freeze?

Prepping B for when I am in hospital To be honest Prepping B for when I am in hospital

To be honest, my heart is already sore leaving little B to go to hospital. This time around it takes much more preparation than before. This little human needs care while I am in hospital. Yes, my husband will be around but I want to make sure his secondary caretakers and I are on the same page.

Here is what I have planned:

-his meals are frozen and breakfast option are on the fridge

-outfits are all set out

-his schedules are on the fridge (very easy going and he knows his routines well)

-his likes and dislikes

-some house rules e.g pick up toys after playtime

-a small gift to open every day while I am gone (e.g crayons and drawing book) @thecrazystoresa was a good place to shop for this

I am excited for him, I know he will absolutely adore his sibling.

How did you make sure your children are well taken care of while you were in hospital?
