A little pink in my everyday life, for a cause that carries so much more meaning than the colour itself. 🩷

I was so grateful to receive the Pink Press Drop from @theinfluencermarketingagency, created in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Behind the colour pink are real women, real families and real stories. Women who have fought, women who are still fighting, women who have survived, and women whose lives have been changed or lost because of breast cancer. 💗

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about keeping awareness alive, encouraging women to look after their health, starting conversations and standing alongside those affected.

This Pink Press Drop brings together 15 incredible brands, all contributing to a campaign that encourages us to pause, learn, talk and show our support. 🫶🏻

And there’s an exciting giveaway too! 🎀 You can head over to @theinfluencermarketingagency, find their Pink Press Drop giveaway post and enter for the chance to win your own. 💝

A huge thank you to all the brands who came together and contributed to this beautiful campaign:

I haven't spoken about this much, but around this time last year I made the decision to give up a small job that was paying me a set monthly salary. A small salary, but something I could rely on.

I took a leap of faith and gave it up, in the hopes of content creation picking up and bringing in more income, and allowing me more time with my kids.

The leap of faith was worth it. 🥺 I still pinch myself that I get to do something that I really enjoy! Don't get me wrong- it's not always easy, it's still stressful and time consuming, but it has given me so much more time with my kids and more opportunities for us as a family.

None of this would be possible without the people (new and old) that follow along our little journey. YOU! I am forever grateful that you choose to be here, and support me. I pray that's something that I never take for granted.

So thank you, for making my leap of faith worth it. 🫶🏻 by @amberinbetween

56 days until we have to start moving that damn elf every night… 😂🎄AND 56 days until advent starts, so it’s time to start getting organised for Christmas!

If you’re getting an Advent calendar this year, now is the time to get your order in before December sneaks up on us. @vanilladreams_sa have FIVE different Advent Calendar options this year, so there’s something for everyone! 🍪🎄

Head over to their website to place your order early and use my code AMBER10 for 10% off! ❤️💚

Forgetting the elf until the 30 November has become a tradition on its own... but now you have zero excuses for forgetting to order the kids' advent calendars. 😂 by @amberinbetween

The life of a Blanco kid 🐴🌿🤎

A little bit of farm life, a whole lot of adventure, and the kind of freedom every childhood deserves! From meeting and interacting with the farm animals to trying out different sports and spending their days exploring the outdoors, there is always something to keep little hands busy and curious minds learning.

But I think my favourite part is the freedom they get to experience here. Being able to run, explore, try new things and just be kids, all while knowing they’re in a safe environment. 🥹

Less screen time, more fresh air, muddy shoes, happy hearts and childhood memories. This is what the life of a @blanco.guest.farm kid looks like! 🤎🌾 by @amberinbetween

Spend a day with me at Blanco 🌿🤎

This reel is actually a pretty accurate representation of what a day at @blanco.guest.farm looked like for us! Slow mornings, good food, a bit of exploring, plenty of relaxing and absolutely no shortage of things to do.

You might notice you don’t see much of the kids in this reel, and that’s because they’re usually off having the time of their lives with each other/the Blanco nanny or busy with the many activities on offer. Which means we actually get to enjoy downtime too! 🙌🏼

We didn’t even get around to things like sundowners at the dam, walking trails and so many other activities.

Basically, there’s something for everyone, whether you want to keep busy or do absolutely nothing at all. And that’s my kind of holiday! 🤎

Hazel's Barbie picnic party on the grass didn’t quite go according to the original plan because of the weather, so we had to make a Plan B and move the party under our pergola! 💕

The backdrop by @itsmyparty_pe was the PERFECT addition. Not only did it bring the whole Barbie theme and colour palette together, but it also hid all of our windows, doors and braai area in the background, making our pergola feel like a pretty little party space. 🩷✨

It doubled up as the perfect backdrop for all of our beautiful family photos and some guest photos too! So instead of trying to find a pretty spot around the house, we had one beautiful area that matched the party perfectly.

@itsmyparty_pe created the backdrop to match our colours and theme, and also did all of the balloons! 🎈

If you’re planning a party, take it from me: a backdrop is definitely worth it! It transforms a space AND gives you the perfect spot for all those special photos. 💕 by @amberinbetween

As requested... a day’s meals at @blanco.guest.farm 🍽️⛰️

One of the things we love about Blanco is that you genuinely do not have to think about food! ALL meals are included, plus morning tea and afternoon tea, with afternoon tea being being served with a little biscuit or treat. 🤎

The food is proper comfort food: hearty, homely and farm-style. And obviously… the famous Blanco bread and roast potatoes deserve a special mention. 🤤

For kids under 10, they have their own separate kids dining hall with kid-friendly meals. They have their own mealtimes, their own space and food they’ll actually eat, while the adults can sit and enjoy their meals in peace. 😉 by @amberinbetween

BLANCO 2026 ⛰️

Leaving with full tummies, even fuller hearts and feeling so grateful for this time away. 🫶🏻

There’s something about being in nature, slowing down, switching off and enjoying the simple things together. The laughs, the conversations, the quiet moments and all the memories made along the way… it was all so good for the soul.

Already looking forward to the next @blanco.guest.farm trip. 🥹

I’ll be sharing more about Blanco over the next few days because this special place deserves to be shared! by @amberinbetween

The Checkers Championship Boerie Bus has arrived in Gqeberha so we went on a little family outing.🔥🇿🇦

We headed to @checkers_sa MetLife Plaza yesterday to experience the Checkers Championship Boerie Bus and celebrate the new 2026 Champion boerewors!

We grabbed 4 boerie rolls for the family & of course we had to try the very intriguing Krispy Kreme Checkers Chiller! The real question was… could we guess what teal tastes like? 👀

The 2026 Championship Boerewors is available in Checkers stores and on Sixty60, so if you haven’t tried the new Champion yet, this is your sign to grab a reel and light that fire! 🇿🇦🩵

The new 2026 Champion, delivered. 🔥
