Welcome
We started the Family Treasures blog more than 10 years ago after the birth of my daughter. It began as a place to share and connect with other families, moms and dads, grannies and grandpas in Cape Town and beyond. It has been an amazing journey. I have learnt many valuable lessons from my family but also from you.
My name is Denise and our blog is all about the joys we share as a family, including all those experiences we have with friends who are like family. The ups and the downs, getting creative and feeding our souls, travelling and exploring, dancing in the rain and taking time to remember what matters most. Please join me on my journey as I gather some family treasures and share them with you!
