When tech lends energy a helping hand.
My little Leo is now six, and a half. I better not forget that part. It’s very important! In 2019 he started at Rallim, a new school in our area with a Reggio Emilia approach to teaching, which I love. Then in 2020 the pandemic hit, and he only attended school until March. Since then I’ve kept him out, and…

A new kind of stable.
“How do you find balance running a business like this and maintaining your sanity?” Was the question he asked me. “Ahem… So you’re assuming that I’m sane?” They had sent me these questions a few days before and I don’t really like to go to deep into prepping answers coz then I suck on the spot with it, I rather…

Untitled.
I decided to name this post Untitled because I’m typing it out in my text editor and that’s what it says at the top of the document. I pause. The cursor flashes before me over and over, as the seconds pass, and I realise – that is how I’m feeling, Untitled. Time is a funny thing. We have so much…

Are you putting him back in school?
Almost everyday someone asks me this question. So I’m writing a post so that I can just send you this link – save us both time and help you understand my reasoning. Are you putting him back in school? No, I’m not. Oh cool, yes I hear a lot of people are doing this homeschool thing for 2021. It’s not…

Your human is a brand. What do you stand for?
“Attract. Don’t chase.” If you don’t know what you want, how will you know when it comes along? And how will you know when something comes along that is wrong? Big questions right. When I work with entrepreneurs and brands we go back to the foundations, the very reason the brand exists and got manifested into the world, why not…

What am I for?
This year has been a fuck show. A real fuck show. When I say the word fuck show it makes me feel good, because it validates why I’m feeling so weird today and gives me permission to feel this way for “no reason”. There has never been a year like this in my life, or yours, if you’re alive today…

What I love about 2020
I love that I’ve been pushed to think more creatively in my business. I love that I’ve learned to appreciate my home space more and re-organize it to support our new lifestyle. I love that I’ve been able to read more books this year than I have in any other year and I love that my reading wishlist on Amazon…

Closing shop: Spaces and all that they hold.
It is with a heavy, yet hopeful heart, that we have decided to close our Ubuntu Baba boutique in Westlake. Deep inside I think I knew this was coming for weeks now, but it just didn’t seem real until we got down to the details. (Our online shop and factory will continue as per normal.) This little 65m space, nested…

What if…
What if there’s a brand new Mother and her newborn baby. What if she’s struggling so much and feeling so overwhelmed and needs emotional support. What if the only place she can find that support is out in the world, where other people live and where emotional support comes naturally, through conversations and daily ongoing’s with other human beings, where…

This post is for any business owners who sell baby products and would like to continue trading during COVID-19. I am writing this post by request of these business owners in the baby industry who have asked for advice. We received news through the grapevine on Wednesday that the sale of products for the care of babies and toddlers are…
