Had so much fun putting together this @kitkatsouth Had so much fun putting together this @kitkatsouthafrica cake with @woolworths_sa chuckles and fresh fruit. Inside was a caramel and swiss roll cake. The kids haven't been able to keep their hands off of it (the big kids included). What do you like to make for birthday celebrations? #capetownblogger #cakedecorating #bloggersouthafrica #deliciousfood #freshfruitcake #creative
My beautiful @woolworths_sa pink tulips 🌷from m My beautiful @woolworths_sa pink tulips 🌷from my husband for my birthday week. Plus, my beautiful rose that grew in my garden, just for my birthday. I am (im)patiently waiting for it to open. I am so blessed, and so grateful, but I am also a little sad (and that's okay). Birthdays can spark all sorts of emotions, but mostly it is a time to celebrate. For me it is a time to celebrate my family and friends, and how they have touched my life in various ways. It's important to be gentle with ourselves, which is why I am celebrating with the theme of 'self care' during this birthday period. It's because I want to support and love my family and friends that I need to plan self care and rest moments so I can be the best I can be for them. Join me as I explore this over the next month or two. Look after yourself, your family and friends need all the beauty and goodness that is you 💖 #selfcare #sablogger #bloggersouthafrica #capetownbloggers #flowers #gratitude #feelthefeelings
Are you making plans for your life and family in p Are you making plans for your life and family in pencil? Having a conversation with my family this morning, this thought came to mind. Change over to pen, add some colour and make it real! All too often, we are sketching things out in pencil, but we never commit to them in pen. Where do you feel called to go or what do you feel you should be doing? Do you have a hidden talent or passion? Have you always wanted to travel? What are you too scared to commit to? We don't do anyone any favours be playing it small. What legacy do you want to leave behind? Stop being directed by fear, start believing in the possibilities. I'm all in for considering others, but is that really the reason you aren't taking the leap? Live your life in pen! 💕 #bloggersouthafrica #capetownblogger #foodforthought #liveyourlifetothefullest #liveyourlifeinpen #beachsunrise
The nice thing about waking up and being on the ro The nice thing about waking up and being on the road so early this morning was that we were able to catch the lunar eclipse. This photo doesn't do it justice, our eyes are amazing and see so much more; and getting up early and getting to where you need to be may not always be easy, but try to count your blessings and you will feel much better about the day. What other difficult things could you look at from a different perspective and find the blessing in? Have a wonderful week ahead 💖 #capetownblogger #bloggersouthafrica #bloggerssa #lunareclipse #morningthoughts #foodforthought #lookfortheblessing #sharingpositivity
Rats have a bad rap, but you can't look at this ph Rats have a bad rap, but you can't look at this photo and not go awww. This was one of our @boggleandbruxct rescues that has since crossed the rainbow bridge. Our sweet boy was also an important member of the family (along with his brother). Somehow, it didn't matter what was happening; when we came home to greet them, the world was a better place. This had me thinking about a recent experience. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions and we worry about the implications or about making others feel any negative/sad emotions. Follow your gut, follow the light that is in you, and everything will work out for the best in the end. Stress Less, Trust God More and Cuddle Your Family the Most (especially the furry ones) ! #bloggersouthafrica #foodforthought #ratsofinstagram #capetownblogger

She cute, right? The @renault_sa Triber Prestige i She cute, right? The @renault_sa Triber Prestige is on the list of my new favourite cars. We have been going to see each of these cars in person and she has all the features and the space. Perfect for a family (plus she is cute - this is important!). . .which reminds me. . .it's my birthday month and that time of year where I select a few of my favourite things and give them away. Listen, I'd love to give you a car but it won't be that this year BUT I have yet to discover all of my new favourite things, so please share/spam me with your favourite items, food, places, apps, events that you just love; and they may make it into the list. Remember, the final list will be given away to a lucky winner. You can comment below or email denise@familytreasures.co.za
Looooooove my new mug from my family for Mother's Looooooove my new mug from my family for Mother's Day PLUS the hot chocolate they bought to go inside it. We also added Magic Moments Buttered Popcorn Mini (mini) marshmallows. At first when hearing that you may pull the 'eww' face (most people do) but in Hot Chocolate they are actually way better than you'd expect. Try something new and different today! With that been said, also look for ways to eat more healthily - make it fun, that way you will actually follow through. #trynewthings #southafricanblogger #capetownblogger #bloggerssa #eathealthyfood #behealthy #lookafteryourself
I took this photo last night as I prepared for bed I took this photo last night as I prepared for bed and the next day. There is nothing like the feel of soft slippers after a busy day. These comfy slippers were just one of my Mother's Day blessings from my family and I appreciate the effort they put in on this special day. It gives me a boost and helps me to try to be better each day. It's a journey, we are all imperfect beings trying to do the best we can for our families; but there is something that has been on my heart lately that I feel I must share. We all have different beliefs, but actually much of it is the same. Many of us believe in a Higher Being, for me that is God. Many of us also believe in an evil spirit/spirits/negativity, for me that is the Devil. Now listen to me carefully. God will never make you feel worthless, even if you fail. He will lovingly encourage you to be better. We may feel sorrow, but sorrow that leads to good change BUT If you are feeling down, worthless or anything that reduces your self worth, know that it is not from God (and, I can bet you, that it is not how your family feels about you either). Recognise these feelings, and from where they come. Recognise your Divine worth. Recognise your potential and find Joy in your daily efforts. Find the joy in everyday family life ❤️ #sablogger #foodforthought #capetownbloggers
