Oh, all the plans I had for my maternity leave….All the places I was going to visit. All the series I was going to watch while my Aidan napped peacefully in his cot and Alyssa played quietly… Yeah right!
With just a few weeks left of my maternity leave ( sob sob) I thought I would share some of the things which have made my time at home with the kids so much cosier and kept me sane! Continue reading
How awesome are these?
I am still in awe by how Mr. Price has spoilt me and my munchkins at the #CTmomblogmeet (see my previous post here). Not only did they spoil us with gifts, they have also sponsored a little giveaway for 1 lucky reader of Hayley’s Joys.
I love shopping at Mr. Price, especially via their online store. As a busy Mom, it saves me time by avoiding going to the store, searching for sizes and not having to stand in long queues. Delivery is fast and if the goods are not suitable I can easily exchange them in any store. Continue reading
I spent my Saturday morning with the best Mommy Bloggers in Cape Town! Cindy Alfino from 3 Kids 2 Dogs 1 House was the organizer and host of the meet up and done an AMAZING job! We met at Graze in Kenilworth – such an awesome venue – I’m definitely going back with my family very soon. They have the most fabulous kiddies menu ever and their Grilled ham and cheese, poached egg and mushroom sauce breakfast is just heavenly. Continue reading
Not a month goes by without at least 1 kiddies party for Alyssa to attend and with Summer here I’m sure there are going to be many more to come. We attended a 2 year old party on Saturday at Green Point Urban Park for my friends little boy …. he’s really so flippin cute! He’s really into fixing things like his Dad and so the theme of the party was along the lines of Bob the Builder. Just look at the cool cake. Continue reading
Spring has really come early this year! The weather was perfect this weekend and Alyssa was just lapping up the sunshine. We visited Green Point Park on Saturday morning and had so much fun.
I am so loving this Sale season… even more so due to this beautiful Green wool hat which was a ridiculous bargain at Accessorize.
I had these High Tops in my wardrobe for a while but never really gotten much wear out of it, so I decided to sport them this weekend. I never really thought of pairing it with dark blue jeans but I think it actually works. Continue reading
On Saturday morning I had a date with Jade, a consultant at the Bobbi Brown store in Canal walk. I am not big on make up and always keep it very very simple (like mascara and lip gloss, that’s it!) , so i thought i would sign up for a make-up lesson to learn how to spice things up a bit!
Bobbi Browns mission is to teach every women to be her own make up artist and that was exactly what I came to learn… Continue reading
Alyssa and I were like WHATEVER this weekend, enjoying the li’l bit of sunshine Cape Town had to offer.
I found both our “Whatever” jerseys at Mr Price – i just had to grab them when I saw them. As far as i know, the saying “Whatever” was made popular by the 90’s movie Clueless. Anyone who knew me back then would know that i was totally obsessed with the movie…. so obsessed that i would watch it every single day as soon as I arrived home from school while pretending to do my homework. I memorised almost every line of the movie and I used “Whatever”, “as If” or “thats like so five years ago” in almost every sentance. (I think i may still use these phrases…. perhaps not that often now)
I just realized that I may have a slight obsession with (navy) blue…
Most of my recent splurges were on navy blue items…from clothing to accessories and even hair colour! Take a look Continue reading
