If you surf around the site for more than a minute, then you will figure out that www.MomsMatter.co.za is all about trying to make mom’s life easier. I know that moms have very little time to themselves, and reading leisurely may not be at the top of their list. That’s why I also send out a weekly newsletter with current ‘What’s On’ calendar, a few articles of value to moms, any special offers that I’m aware of, amusing bits & pieces and other tidbits – delivered straight to the mom’s Inbox.

 

And just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean that all I do is wipe stinky bums all day! I am also a woman - “The soul and heart, the mom and the child, the lover and the friend, the career women and homemaker.”( Michelle, Spice4Life)…. I also have a life, sort-of!!! My affiliation with Spice4Life means that I am able to provide more valuable resources for moms to be educated in all aspects of their lives (including stinky bums).

My project this year is to create a resource for women who have suffered pregnancy loss. After experiencing 4 miscarriages on my way to 3 beautiful children, I am aware that there is no place for women to turn which can provide support and accurate information about what has just happened to them. This is one time when a woman can feel so alone and confused, and I hope to be able to provide them with the education and support they need to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If I had a lot of money, I would… spend it all on my kids!

In my handbag I’ve got…. Loads of receipts that I keep meaning to clear out.

A “must have” in the travel bag is…. ‘Bribery’ for the kids

The things I love most are… Finding time to go out for a cuppa (and half a slice of cake) with my husband, sans kids!

My favourite quote is…“What I know is, if you do the work that you love, and the work fulfils you, the rest will come.” Oprah Winfrey

My inspiration comes from… other moms

Favourite book/music: I’m very good at reading Grade 1 books slowly, and know the words to Barney’s whole repertoire of songs.
