⭐⭐RUNNER UP BEST PARENTING POST⭐⭐ #sapbawa ⭐⭐RUNNER UP BEST PARENTING POST⭐⭐ #sapbawards In all honesty, I struggled to find posts to enter this year. I haven't written much nor has anything been particularly gripping. I didn't hold out much hope to win, especially considering I wasn't entering the same category as before and, instead, entered probably the most popular categories. But, blow me down, I won runner up. Blogging has been an outlet for creativity but also for the confusing, messy and desperate emotions I've felt as I've struggled through a mom life of colic, postnatal depression and covid. Sometimes what I think is just a rambling is met with resonance. Other times, my most profound thoughts (or so I think) are met with little feedback. It all depends. Sometimes it's easy to write. Sometimes I hit a mental block for days or weeks or even months. Sometimes it's easy to find time to write. Other times like now, I haven't had time for weeks. My writing is fuelled by copious cups of tea from the comfort of my bed or, when I'm really trying to focus, from my desk in the study. Thank you to all of you who take time out of your day to read my musings! Your support is so appreciated. I hope I will be able to encourage you in the coming year! My post on "Momming the Gospel" and "Be the Light, Mommy" were the winners. Here is an excerpt... "Maybe we need to look at motherhood as possibly the most important Kingdom-work we’ll ever do. Maybe shaping our children to become more Christlike is our higher calling. Maybe we need to stop seeing motherhood as survival and start seeing it as the glorious work with eternal benefits."

When I started blogging, it was an outlet. I love When I started blogging, it was an outlet. I love to write. As the months went by, it became a way of processing the hardest years of my life. I could get my thoughts out. I could cry through my words. It was, in part, a coping mechanism. And, some others found healing through it. Now that I'm no longer in that dark space (praise the Lord!) I find that the words don't come as easily. But I hope that, when I do write, others are able to be encouraged and uplifted. #blogging #blogger #writing #writersofinstagram #writer #mommyblog #momblog #mommyblogger #momblogger #samomblogs #samommyblogger #christianmom #christianmama #wearingallmyhats #quote #quoteoftheday #quotes #thoughtoftheday #sharedexperiences #processing #capturingmythoughts
It is done! I never thought last year this time t It is done! I never thought last year this time that I would have had the opportunity to be vaccinated. What an answer to prayer! This last week, I had a taste of normal and, man(!!!) was it SWEET! Here's to hugs, concerts, kisses, cuddles, kiddies with colds playing together, blowing out candles on a cake, picnics, braais, dinners, parties, dancing and celebrations. Here's to worshipping TOGETHER in person, to mourning TOGETHER in person and to celebrating TOGETHER in person! Praise God for doctors and medicine! #vaccine #provaccine #pfizered #pfizervaccine #fᴜʟʟʏvᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ #corona #coronavirus #pandemic #virus #covid_19 #trust #doctors #frontlineworkers #letsgetvaccinated #mommyblog #momblog #mommyblogger #momblogger #samomblogs #samommyblogger #christianmom #christianmama #wearingallmyhats
There is so much division over #covid. It has caus There is so much division over #covid. It has caused rifts in the body of Christ. And people have strong moral convictions on both sides. Do we see people? Don't we? Do we vaccinate? Don't we? At the end of the day, we are told that if we go against our conscience, we are sinning. That said, we should not be arrogant in our stance. Either way, we need to be humble and peace-loving. Kind and compassionate. Seeking peace and remembering that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ despite our differing views. "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace." Ephesians 4:3 The devil is having a field day separating Christians on this issue. Seek the Lord and seek peace and unity and love. Make sure that in whatever you do, you consider others above yourself. I see loving others by getting the vaccine. Others don't take their kids out if they're sick or they quarantine for the correct period after exposure or they wear a mask. Whatever it is, do everything in love for others. #kindness #love #peace #peaceloving #brothersandsisters #christ #god #jesus #dotoothersasyouwouldhavethemdotoyou #seekpeaceandpursueit #loveothers #loveothersaboveyourself #vaccine #provaccine #mommyblog #momblog #mommyblogger #momblogger #samomblogs #samommyblogger #christianmom #christianmama #wearingallmyhats #quote #quoteoftheday #quotes #thoughtoftheday #bible #bibleverse
I am a photo person. I would have every wall in my I am a photo person. I would have every wall in my home covered in pictures and printed canvases if I could. I have multiple photo frames in every room. I love printed pictures. I love taking pictures on my phone as well but I really miss the fact that our kids don't have a hard copy in their hands. They can't page through albums like we did. And I've heard so many horror stories of laptops or phones being stolen with all those precious memories gone and no way of retrieving them. When I got an email to ask if I wanted to try out an @instaxsa product, I was totally in! I had a choice of two cameras or the mini printer. I figured at least I could see the photo beforehand and also choose the ones I loved most from over the past year! It was such fun and, once I read the instructions, so easy to use!! I played with frames and there are also many cool settings. Now, I have a little album with some of my favourite moments for my family to look through again and again! So thankful for the opportunity to try out this product!! #pictures #picture #photo #photoalbum #print #printingphotos #frame #framedphotos #makingmemories #memories #capture #capturemoments #everypicturetellsastory #mommyblog #momblog #mommyblogger #momblogger #samomblogs #samommyblogger #christianmom #christianmama #wearingallmyhats #instax #instaxsa #instaxminiprinter #instaxprinter #instaxminilink #fujifilm #fujifilmsa
Remember the days of film? I LOVED taking a film t Remember the days of film? I LOVED taking a film to be developed! The anticipation of seeing what the pictures actually looked like. (And plenty that were just dark or a blur!) I still get that feeling to some degree when I go to print pictures. I love having printed photos in my house.
