A Year of Moms and Babes

Image
The baby clinic sister that I take my little monster to recommended moms and babes . At first I was like, ‘huh?’ What even is that?! The concept seemed weird, and honestly, the thought of taking my crying bundle of joy to a sit-down mommy and baby class was overwhelming. And so, naturally I ignored it. My mommy brain also signed up for few bub hub classes and at one such class one of the moms was talking about moms and babes , and suddenly the penny dropped. I called and was immediately told that the first (trial) class was free, allowing me to make my decision after having experienced it first-hand. The morning of that first class I was anxious as hell. My son just wasn’t cooperating and I honestly didn’t know what I would be able to offer this group, or what I would even get in return. Would the moms be friendly? Would I like the instructor? Is this a cult? Deep breathe, strap baby in the car-seat and just go! It’s always a tad awkward when you arrive at a new place and

A Review: Adventure Club

There have been whispers between my mom friends and I around the Adventure ClubS App. Do you have it? Did you see the cool adventure they did last week? That upcoming adventure with the books looks pretty cool right? But who has actually gone on an adventure? And what are the other moms like? AND is it really as cool as it looks? My Experience: So, I took the dive. I went on an adventure, and you know what? My little boy LOVED it! Seriously, I couldn’t believe how he just fitted in seamlessly with the other kids!

The adventure we went on was one hosted by Leafy Greens CafĂ© and Farm in Muldersdrift. So first up, the mom’s are all so amazing.

A Review: Creeky Tree

Image
The Deets: This gem is all kinds of amazing. Situated next to a driving range AND a car wash, it means that you can grab a breakfast, let your little one play and get your car cleaned all at the same time (#Winning). Find it at 47 Boeing Road West, Bedfordview, 2007. (Next to Gilloolys Farm) : Open 9.00am – 4.00pm (Tues – Sun)                                                                     Creeky Tree has two Lapa areas that can be booked out for functions – either for kids birthdays, baby showers and sometimes even year-end functions. The food: Creeky Tree has a beautiful restaurant area that stretches the entirety of the under-cover patio. You can grab full breakfasts, burgers, toasted sandwiches, a (small) kids section on the menu, and of course Coffee. They also have a liquor licence (because a glass of bubbly never killed anyone). The Atmosphere: This place boasts a rustic, down-to-earth atmosphere (which I love – because pretentious places are boring)
