July felt longer than usual. Maybe because it was my birthday month, or because I am running on broken sleep, or maybe it’s simply because I have a little Lightning McQueen who figured out he can get from one side of the room to the other in about 0.5 seconds and has not slowed down since.

And somewhere in the exhaustion, growing pains and the postpartum fog, I am learning to slow down and find the joy in the small things, and just be grateful for this season.

Here’s to August and everything it is going to grow. 🌱🍞🌅

GRWM using these .cosmetics goodies from 🤎

Affordable, vegan, cruelty free and made in Germany, honestly what’s not to love. The eyeliner used to be my go-to back in South Africa and I am so happy it’s here in Australia 🙌🏽

June 🌿

Seeds in the soil, dough on the counter, rainbows through the window and somewhere in between all of it, I remembered to slow down and actually just be.

This month I started a sourdough starter, watched tiny seedlings push through the soil, had family around making the house feel full, and just lived slowly. Cooked a lot. Baked more than I expected.

Callan is growing so fast it’s genuinely unfair 🥹 Every week he’s a different baby and June felt like a month of watching him become more himself. I don’t want to rush a single second of it.

July is my birthday month and I’m walking into it soft, present, and maybe finally nailing that sourdough ear 👀🍞

Happy July, I hope yours is everything you need it to be 🧡

Becoming a mother changed the way I see love completely, because the moment I held my child for the first time, loving them felt as natural as breathing, not something I had to force, question, or earn, and that’s why my heart genuinely aches for children who grow up wondering why a parent chose distance, absence, or excuses over simply being there for them, because even on the hardest days when I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, touched out, or emotionally drained, there has never been a single moment where I stopped wanting to show up for my child with everything I have inside me, and I think motherhood teaches you very quickly that unconditional love is not found in perfection, but in the decision to stay present no matter how hard life becomes. 🤍
