Moms can wear Reebok too

I mean, you can wear your sneakers with just about anything, these days! (Can you hear the angels singing?) It’s totally acceptable attire to wear Reebok with your two-piece fancy suit. And you can even wear your favourite white sneakers, with a dress, to a party! Yep – it’s a whole vibe! A vibe I’ve been waiting for my whole life, tbh. For those moms who, like me, thrive on being as comfortable as possible, I’m sure you’ll agree when I say: what a…

Free Wimpy coffee on Slipper Day – you in?
How much do you love your slippers? They should totally just make slippers our designated footwear, like, permanently. Am I right? This is one of the reasons why I will be wearing my slippers on Friday, 5 May. I mean, besides for the other reason which is: Wimpy’s biggest fundraiser, Slipper Day.

Windows
I was quite shaken up, this past weekend, to learn about the death of a South African rap superstar. This young man was gunned down at the tender age of 35, leaving behind a grieving family and a distraught fan base. Had the circumstance been a less morbid one, I would crack a joke here because what I know about rap music is equivalent to my 3-year-old’s knowledge of Quantum Physics. In fact, I can’t even name any of this artist’s songs (I’m a 40-year-old mother of 5 ok). But the loss of this young talent shook me. I found myself engrossed in the details of his life and his…

Invisible labour. What’s that, you ask? Well, that is when you take on a mental load and then wonder why you are so exhausted at the end of the day, when you’ve barely left your office chair. It is the cognitive effort involved in managing every aspect of your life. As women, we tend to take on a lot of responsibility (more than men, in most cases). For us, mental load involves planning, making decisions, making appointments, remembering and staying on top of tasks, and executing those tasks – all while doing the rest of the things that we do, as moms and wives! I often tell my husband that…
