Tips for Blog Planning

Isn’t it wonderful that anyone can write these days? No aspiring writer has to hope that their thoughts will be considered worthwhile enough to be published. Anyone can create a WordPress account and tap out their musings in their little space on the Internet for others to read. I have always wanted to… [Continue Reading]
The Truth: Where I Am

2020. The year many of us are glad to see the back of. The year that no one alive will ever forget. The year that, if you had told us in 2019, we wouldn’t see anyone smile in public again or that we wouldn’t be allowed to gather together, we would’ve thought you were… [Continue Reading]
Be The Light, Mommy

It’s one thing to talk the talk. It’s another to walk the walk. Every mother has good intentions to be the best mother to her children that she possibly can be. But when the cereal hits the ceiling, it reveals our hearts and who we truly are, not just as a mother, but as… [Continue Reading]
Momming the Gospel

I can’t pretend that I haven’t felt a bit frustrated in the journey of motherhood. I haven’t found it as fulfilling or stimulating as I thought I might have and, quite frankly, it took a lot for me to admit that to all of you. I feel ungrateful. I chide myself for wishing my… [Continue Reading]
Quiet Times with Kids

GUEST POST “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT These are the words that carry me as I navigate life as an individual – who… [Continue Reading]
Meet Kabelo

I came across Kabelo’s account when Black Lives Matter was trending on Instagram earlier this year (after the death of George Floyd) and then subsequently amongst the mom blogging community. I was struck by her honest and challenging posts that despite saying what needed to be said, had such a humility and godliness within… [Continue Reading]
Keeping Kids Safe Online

The Worldwide Web is just that. A web. It’s intriguing, beautiful, mysterious, alluring, dangerous, deadly, intricate and detailed. It draws us in, enchants us and delights us. But there is a much more sinister side that involves dabbling with danger and even death. While I love the internet and use it every day,… [Continue Reading]
Objectification of Women

You don’t need to look hard to find a woman’s body plastered on a billboard baring a bronze leg and boasting a large bust. Ask any guy – they’ve seen porn that displays the bodies of women like items in the windows of an online store. Ask any girl and they could probably tell… [Continue Reading]
‘Cuties’ Film (Part 2)

In my previous post, I gave you a run down of the movie and the underlying messages Doucouré sought to convey. I must confess I sat down to watch with skepticism and armed with a pen and notepad. Although I now see she intended to comment on the sexualisation of children rather than promote… [Continue Reading]
‘Cuties’ Film (Part 1)

#CancelNetflix has been trending on social media in the last few weeks when the controversial movie, Cuties directed by Maïmouna Doucouré made its debut on Netflix in early September. Many have taken to social media to slate the film and demand that Netflix take the movie down. Netflix have responded with apology for the… [Continue Reading]

The Face Under the Hats

Glad you’re here! I’m Kate. I am not super woman (although I'd like to be!) nor am I a Pinterest-perfect queen with a creative eye, who has cute printables and an immaculate home! I’m just a regular woman nearing 30 who loves to write. You'll find my messy and honest thoughts on the expectations that drown us as women to multi-task - be a wife, mom, friend, mentor, and house keeper! And, aiming to do it all well and not just fall over the finish line in pure exhaustion at the end of the day is enough to put anyone in a mad house! So this is just a bit of how I try (and fail regularly!) to wear all the hats!
