-Tell us a little about your family…
I have two beautiful 17 month old twin boys that have recently started walking and are now running in all directions. I’m wife to my high-school sweetheart – the man of my dreams and also a full-time software/web developer in the financial industry. We also have two kitties, a very naughty Jack Russell and a home that is fast becoming too small.
-What do you do when not blogging?
           
My average day involves getting everyone ready for the day, giving lots of kisses goodbye, dashing off to work for 8 hours, and then rushing home to spend some quality time with my husband and my two little boys. Other than that I enjoy reading, lazy afternoons in the back yard and spending time with family.
-What made you decide to blog?    
Having the twins, either during pregnancy or once they were born, always felt a little lonely to me. I never quite fit in with the other mommies. Looking for advice on how to raise my two little babies only got me so far and couldn’t help me with the time constraint of handling both babies, so I had to spend a lot time just figuring things out on my own. I started writing down some of my experiences in the hope that either I or someone else would one day find them useful again.
-What was your concept behind the blog?
I guess I wanted to share my story with other mommies out there, yet at the same time do something special that I might one day print and give to my children. So my blog is a little bit of both. It contains some useful advice, some not so useful advice, a lot of personal opinion and a type of album/log of my daily life with my family.
-Did you find yourself nervous at prospect of letting people into your life in this way?
           
I do sometimes when I realize all the personal information that I put out there could be used in bad ways. But then reading other mommy’s stories bring me so much inspiration and motivation, I can only hope to inspire another mommy out there with my story.
-Do you ever worry that your child will be like “mom why are you exposing my life?” (I worry sometimes)?
At the moment they are way too small, but I do sometimes worry what effect my blog will have on them when they are older. I plan on rebranding my site and using alias names once the kids start school.
-Does your family read your blog?
           
Not as much as I would like them to. J
-What do you hope to achieve through the blog?
I hope to be an inspiration to other mommies out there, whether it is by using my tips and tricks for twins or simply drawing a little happiness or motivation from our day-to-day lives.
I also want my blog to be a type of journal where I can keep a memory in both words and pictures of my experience with the twins and in the growth of our little family.
-What do you think about the blogging culture in South Africa?
           
Though very young and inexperienced, I think South Africa’s blogging culture is booming to life. Each genre’ has its special little groups and it would be nice to find some place where we could all connect. I love the support I’m getting from other bloggers and I truly hope its something we can keep instead of it becoming a competition.
-What do you think makes for a “good blog”
I think a good blog is all about being genuine. It doesn’t matter what you blog about as long as your message is pure, honest and genuinely you.
-How do you personally measure success in the blogging world
I guess I measure it by how many people I reach through my blog whether it be by subscribers or social media followers.
