My little piece of calm in the chaos that is parenting 4 children, homeschooling 2 of them, trying to make sustainable choices, be a good wife and cook edible food – all while working from home.

Cameron is 20, studying at UCT.
Kiara is 18, studying animation in Cape Town.
Jack is 11, he loves his drawing, tennis and playing xBox games.
Emma is 8, she loves karate and gymnastics.
