Review: Land Rover Defender from a woman’s perspective

Review: Land Rover Defender from a woman’s perspective

by Renate Engelbrecht | Dec 17, 2020 | FAVOURITE RIDES, FEATURED POST 1

I got to review the Land Rover Defender and as a woman, mother and entrepreneur, I am definitely a fan. I took it off-road for an early morning drive; I took it dancing in the city streets. I let it pose between Jacaranda trees and I let it decorate my driveway. For a...

Never say: "They'll never eat that." Mushrooms a Never say: "They'll never eat that." Mushrooms are probably one of the healthiest vegetables and one of the easiest ingredients to use in a recipe if you'd like to add some antioxidants to your kids' diet. I've been facing the challenge of having to find ways to get Elian to eat. Not just veggies; anything! In fact, shove a plate of anything healthy in front of him and I'll probably say: "He'll never eat that." I'm sure there are many moms out there who face the same challenge, but it's only now that I realise how frustrating it is when your kids don't want to eat. The South African Mushroom Farmers' Association has come to my aid with the recipe in my bio, though, and I am pretty sure that it might have my kids craving for more. @freshmushroomssa #momblog #momlife #momblogger #motherhood #momsofinstagram #mom #mommyblogger #blogger #parenting #mamablogger #motherhoodunplugged #baby #family #mommyblog #mama #instamom #mombloggers #parenthood #dailyparenting #kids #mommylife #mompreneur #momboss #momlifeisthebestlife #momswhoblog #letthembelittle #toddler #newborn #toddlermom #momproblems

After a week of sick kids, hospitals and stress, I felt like pulling the covers over my head and sleeping for days when the clock went off this morning. Are you also having one of those days? Just know: You're not alone! 👗: @milkandhoneysa 📷: @hanneritakesportraits 👄: @eve.image

I'd like to start a list of books to read, but I'd I'd like to start a list of books to read, but I'd also like to recommend a few that I thought are really helpful and inspiring. They're not all new - some are old, some of them I've read more than once. If you'd like to take part in building the list (whether it's a feel-good book, a self-help book, a building-your-business book, a parenting guide or a Bible study book), tag a friend who would like to take part too and then list a book or two you'd recommend. Here are 3 of my favourites: 1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho 2. And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini 3. Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne with Lisa M. Ross #reading #bookstagram #books

I wish hospitals had views like this. A coffee fro I wish hospitals had views like this. A coffee from @grounded_at_echo would also help! Elian and I have been 'locked up' in hospital since the day before yesterday and except for the dull walls and a parking lot view, Covid regulations are also not helping. I hate it when sickness splits our family up. Any tips on keeping sane in dull hospitals with sick kids? #askingformoms #parenting #family #mentalhealth
