Our family is complete 🤍

To my Israel and my Meeka, 🤍

As the time draws closer to welcoming your baby sister into this world, I find myself thinking so much about the two of you.

Once upon a time, it was you I was waiting for.
You, I was praying for.
You, whose little face I couldn’t wait to see and whose little body I couldn’t wait to hold.

And now, somehow, here we are.

Israel, you are about to become a big brother for the second time. And Meeka, my baby girl, you are about to become a big sister for the very first time.

Life is going to look a little different for a while. There may be moments when I can’t do something with you quite as quickly as I used to. There will be days when we have to move a little slower, be a little more patient, and learn together what life looks like as a family of five.

We’ve spoken about how it might sometimes feel strange, or even a little scary. But we’ve also spoken about all the beautiful things that are coming — a new little person to love, another sibling to grow up alongside, and so many new memories for us to make together.

More than anything, my prayer is that there will be such a peace over our home as we step into this new season. That even amongst the change, the tired days and the beautiful chaos, you will always know that you are seen.

That you are known.

That you are loved so, so deeply.

I am already so proud of you both. This year has seen a new home, a new season, and now preparing to welcome a new little sister — and you have taken it all in your stride.

Thank you for being brave with us. Thank you for asking questions, for talking about your feelings, for dreaming about your sister and for making space in your little worlds for her before she has even arrived.

My Israel and my Meeka, what a privilege it is to be your mom. I am so grateful for who you are and for who you are becoming.

I love you forever 🤍

I’ve been a little quieter on here lately, and honestly, it’s been intentional.

Life has been wonderfully full, and social media has taken a bit of a back seat while I’ve tried to be more present in the season we’re in.

Somehow, we’re already down to the final six weeks (give or take!) until we meet our sweet baby girl. 🤍

This third pregnancy has been so different to the first two.

With your first baby, life naturally slows down. You notice every little kick and rest when you’re tired. Even with baby number two, life still had a gentler rhythm.

This time… life hasn’t slowed down at all.

Between work, school runs, sport fixtures, family life and all the beautiful chaos that comes with raising two growing kids, there really isn’t much time to stop. You just keep going.

Looking back though, I feel incredibly grateful. This has been my easiest pregnancy, and I know what a gift that is.

What makes this little girl even more precious is knowing how long we’ve prayed for her.

For five years she lived in my heart before she ever grew beneath it. Craig and I spent so much time praying, talking and surrendering to God. Looking back now, all I can see is His faithfulness.

She is such an answer to prayer.

Knowing this is most likely our last pregnancy has made me realise just how quickly these seasons pass. Ironically, it’s also been the pregnancy I’ve documented the least.

Not because she’s any less loved.

But because third babies simply join a family that’s already moving.

So every now and then, I’m reminding myself to slow down. To pause, watch her little kicks, place my hands on this growing bump, and thank God for the miracle happening right now.

Soon these kicks will become cuddles, and this bump will become the little girl we’ve been praying for.

We’re excited.
We’re nervous.
But more than anything…

We’re so ready to meet you, sweet girl. 🤍

Designing spaces has always been a deep love of mine.
But somewhere along the way… that love grew into something more — a real passion for furniture and how it shapes the soul of a space.

That passion took root during our travels through Bali.
We’d walk the streets, sit in beautiful cafés, explore tiny furniture stores — and I found myself deeply inspired by the craftsmanship, the textures, the care that goes into every piece.
In Bali, design isn’t an afterthought — it’s everything.

And so the dream began:
✨ Bring Bali Home ✨
To share the pieces that moved me with fellow South Africans who value beauty, intentionality, and soul in their homes.

Today I’m so excited to say —
I’m now offering a curated range of handmade Balinese furniture at wholesale prices
to the South African market 🇿🇦

This is your chance to access unique, artisanal pieces — not mass-produced furniture — that carry the warmth, story and spirit of Bali.

If you’d like to see the catalogue and order form,
📩 Send me your email address
and I’ll send you everything you need to place a pre-order.

Let’s bring a little piece of Bali home 🌾
