With Christmas barely over, parents are starting the annual Back to School shopping rush of uniforms, school bags, and labels.
Even as a homeschool family we often label much of the kids’ items. I love the wide range of school labels and stickers Tower Products have and these products have been part of our annual Back to school prep for years.
Some of the products on the Tower Product Back to School catalog are :-
DIY bag tags
Shoe labels
Pen/Pencil labels
Waterproof stickers for lunch boxes
Lunchbox sticky notes
Iron-on labels for clothing
Multipurpose book labels
Products
DIY bag tags that can be used for easy identification or to add contact or emergency details onto your child’s bag. I’ve actually added one of these to our car seat safety belt with Hamish’s info on so that if we are ever in a crash, the medics can identify him and assist him quickly. I have his name, my contact number, allergies, medical aid number all listed on the tag.
Shoe labels are not only fantastic to help little ones to label their left from their right. I use two different labels for that (for example Left could be a yellow label and Right a blue) but they also help your kids to know they have the right shoes on and teachers know whose shoes are left behind in the classroom.
Pen/pencil labels for easy marking. Use a ballpoint pen to write your child’s name and affix the label. I have to confess, I absolutely hate labeling pens and pencils. It is always such a long process. This way you can write all the names and let your child fix them on. Hamish was quite adamant that we match the colour of the label to the colour pen.
Lunch box sticky notes. How cute are these? I honestly think that they are my favourite and such a nice way to send a little love with your child to school. Tower Products also have a variety of waterproof labels to mark lunch boxes, juice bottles and lunch bags. These are dishwasher safe.
These Iron on labels for clothing take me back to my own school days. They are so easy to use and cost-effective. Write your child’s name with a ball point pen and iron onto the garment with a hot iron. For me personally, these labels are great for if you have a bigger family and don’t want to order 100 name label stickers per child at a time.
Multipurpose and book labels because all textbooks and exercize books deserve to look good and Tower Products makes it easy to label these with a variety of self-adhesive stickers. Simply write your child’s name, subject, or year on.
Every year I’m determined to start saving for Christmas early and each year I get to December without actually saving or shopping early.
This year, I’m determined to beat the Christmas rush and get an early start to saving for the Christmas we want.
So how can I start now ….
1. Savings account
Decide on how much you want to spend on gifts, decor, and food and then divide that amount by 11 months and deposit your amount each month into a savings account.
Depending on how much willpower you have you should have your amount by Christmas. ( If you are like me you also may be tempted to spend this saving during the year)
2. Checkers card
So, knowing I have no willpower, a Checkers card is a much better option for me.
Checkers have a savings card and allow you to top up the card in increments of R20. You can add a little each time you go shopping.
3. Gifts cards
Another option is to purchase gift cards throughout the year to gift.
Some of my favourites are Woolworths, Mr price and Toys R us
You could also purchase a Pick n pay gift card in October or November to use towards your Christmas meal.
4. Pep money
Pep money works the same way as the Checkers saving cards and if you added R20 to an account a day until December you would have just over R7000
5. Butcheries
Some butcheries allow you to purchase cards to top up from R20 a time. Just ask your local butcher if they offer this service.
6. YSense
Ysense is a survey site that actually works. I joined a month ago and made $10.68 ( about R170)in the month by answering surveys and playing games occasionally. What’s really great is that you can cash out from $10 into your PayPal account and you could honestly leave your amount until Christmas.
Many stores offer a layby system where you can purchase your items with a deposit and pay the rest over 2 or 3 months. You then collect the goods when your amount is fully paid. This is a great way to buy those Christmas outfits.
8. Buy gifts monthly
Another great idea is to buy or make gifts monthly and store them until Christmas. I have a large family and this is the best way for me to spend more money on each child as I can budget R500 a month for example but couldn’t budget R4500 at one go for gifts in December.
This year, why not start a new tradition and Interview your child using these questions in the beginning and the end of the year and see how they have grown.

I feel like I haven’t touched base over the last 2 weeks.
2 weeks ago I was admitted to hospital for a night to control a bit of clotting in my blood. I have a great medical team and happy to say I feel 1000 times better. That exhaustion I’ve been struggling with for months has gone …yay ! Now to catch up on my workload
I missed the #behindthescenes live that week because the meds I had made me so sleepy I couldn’t focus.
I did however join Cape Town Beach Cleanup for an awesome beach run ( which I walked) and managed 3km so yay me. If you don’t yet join a regular beach clean-up follow their page for the dates and get your family involved. If you want to join me and Hamish at one pop me a dm we would love to meet dome of you and share our passion for clean beaches with you.
The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxed and we hit the new week running. As one does.
Last week Friday I again missed the #behindthescene live as Hamish and I headed to the Superbook Mzansi First Christmas experience at V&A Waterfront
What a vibe! If you missed it look out towards the 24 December on www.superbookexperience.com and you can catch some awesome Superbook magic.
The V&A Waterfront is as always alive with creativity and fun. We especially love the #Joytotheworldfromafrica exhibits And I’m super excited to join their Summer competitions. Ps …I heard Santa will be at the waterfront soon.
Saturday we went to drop our Senior Santa shoe box off at Blue Route Mall I love this initiative because often our seniors are a forgotten sector in our community.
We also built a star with LEGO who are gifting Lego to kids in need, for every star built. see their page for more details and use the hashtag #BuildwithLEGO
Sunday we headed to watch the premiere of Clifford The Big Red Dog ….oh my word moms! You want to take the kids to see this. We were rolling on the floor with laughter. This feel-good action movie is released today in in cinemas.
Also released is Sing 2…I can’t wait to watch this and have a competition going live after lunch to win 1 of 2 hampers with UIP Africa . Watch this space.
I was super excited to have Fun mamma feature with WOOLWORTHS little world this month showcasing some of the crafts from Fun mamma – rainbow kids .
You can follow the group for fun crafts, recipes and homeschool ideas. Many of these items won’t feature on the blog.
This week we reviewed a wonderful hamper from TOWER products and Hamish and I will be using them this weekend to make some awesome Christmas crafts to gift family.

Lastly I noticed that Sommerset Mall. Has an awesome Disney Africa Channels holiday program and I can’t wait to take Hamish to see.
When my sister, who is younger than me, gave birth to her first son I remember the list of ” my child will nevers”
By then I’d had two children and learned that the only perfect mother is one who hasn’t had children yet.
I remember silently laughing at her unrealistic expectations as we sat talking about motherhood in our early parenting journey. I also remember how she constantly wiped the little boy, never allowing him or his clothing to be dirty. She was so self-assured as she listed off all the evil traits my children did her child simply would not do.
Blue ice cream moments
But
More importantly, I remember the day I gave him a bright blue bubble gum ice cream as he sat in his pram, crystal white shirt begging for a normal childhood stain.
It was boiling hot, we had spent all morning with our children enjoying the Durban flea market, and my last treat to the kids before we went home was ice cream.
I remember watching each drop of that liquid blue dairy as the hot sun melted it before getting he could lick it and I remember her utter horror and shock at him looking like a smurf had just thrown up on him.
Now, I agree, that was most likely not the best way to introduce her to the realities of Childhood mess, but I am her older sister so I can take a few liberties.
Mess is important
The truth is that mess plays an important part in a child’s development.
It helps them to understand that mistakes happen. Life is messy but you can clean it up. There really isn’t a big enough mess that can not be cleaned, sorted, or wiped away. Sometimes our life mess causes us to ask for help and all of the time they teach us valuable lessons.
By allowing our kids to get messy and make a mess of things we teach them to grow, to learn, and to take responsibility. They learn to ask for help when overwhelmed and to set boundaries. They learn that they are resilient, resourceful, and capable of handling any crisis in their lives.
You see…
It isn’t in the mess but how you respond to that mess that will define you.
As we turn the page to the last month of 2021 and begin to prepare our homes for the coming Advent season so do we as parents prepare our families’ hearts for the true reason behind the Christmas festivities.
Two years ago I was desperately searching for a way that Hamish could enjoy the magic of Christmas and somehow still know the true reason for the season. He was still really little and although we had read the story of the birth of Christ in his Bible book, he was unable to put the connection between the birth of Jesus and Christmas.
I then discovered that Superbook had a beautiful Christmas DVD combo consisting of 2 stories:
The first Christmas and The birth of John the Baptist
I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me to help him see the Bible come to life as we watched the story of the First Christmas together. We have since watched this DVD several times and he has begun to understand that Christmas is so much more than just Santa, his elves, and gifts.
However, something else happened that first day that we met the Superbook team to receive the DVD. Superbook was no longer just another brand or a product we would cast on a shelf until we needed it. Superbook became real to Hamish as he asked for Gizmo, the cute robot mascot, and eagerly wanted to watch more movies.
Superbook became a safe App on my phone for Hamish to play games and watch Bibles stories. We followed their social media and used the crafts in our homeschool Bible lessons and all too soon we found ourselves ready to celebrate another Christmas and this time I confidently knew where to turn to prepare Hamish’s heart for the coming festive season.
Last year, we, once again, excitedly, joined the Superbook First Christmas experience and made advent crafts while we decorated our homes, baked cookies, and got ready to join people from all over South Africa to watch The first Christmas episode at the same time and see how Chris and Joy, together with Gizmo find out the true meaning of Christmas.
Superbook has become an important part of our family’s Christmas traditions.
Read why I feel Superbook brings back the heart of Christmas here
The first Christmas experience and you are invited
This year Superbook will host a fun and meaningful Christmas experience at the V & A amphitheater on the 3 and 4 December from 11am- 12pm and you are invited to bring your children and experience the magic as they watch the nativity come alive on screen in a fun and relatable way that children can truly grasp.
The show is free and your children will enjoy watching, laughing, dancing, singing, and even getting to meet Gizmo the robot. Hamish and I are both super excited and can’t wait. It promises to be a wonderful experience, great morning out, and a fantastic way for us to start our advent season.

Why I love Superbook
Superbook to me is so much more than just another App that Hamish uses. Superbook is a community, a place where the Bible comes to life and a safe place for him to play games, watch movies and learn as he grows his faith at an age-appropriate and child-friendly level. Superbook is my guide to teaching him the Bible and their crafts and parent discussions help me to present important topics and hard conversations in a way that allows us both to feel relaxed and connected.
Superbook Events
Not only do Superbook have a great App, wonderful videos, and great games but they also have craft activities, host fun events, and have a monthly movie night to celebrate a new season of videos.

As we know communication is so important and The Lord’s prayer, outlined in the Bible shows us so beautifully how to pray. This episode of Superbook will help you to explain the importance of prayer to your children and teach them how to pray.
You can also download the discussion guide to continue the conversation long after the episode.

Kids fall in love at first play with Hasbro’s 2021 Great Gifts selection
When a child receives a new toy and they fall in Love at First Play, magic happens. Imaginations are unlocked, fun is found, explorations begin, and bonds are formed.
According to a recent survey by global play and entertainment company, Hasbro, almost half (47%) parents surveyed admit their kids have been disappointed with gifts received at festive time and 30% say they have struggled knowing what to buy their children in the past. Sound familiar? Months of your child begging for a particular toy or game, only for the gift to land up at the bottom of the toy pile a few days later.
Understanding the science behind the many forms of play will help you choose toys that are the most compatible with your child’s play personality, essentially how does your child love to play and which toys are best suited to their play personality?
To help parents make the best gift decisions this festive season Hasbro developed a Play Personality Quiz. Play personalities are based on a widely acknowledged scientific theory of the way children engage with play, based on neuroscience and natural behaviours. The 8 play personalities identified in the Hasbro Play Personality Quiz are informed by Dr Stuart Brown’s research [author of Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens The Imagination And Invigorates The Soul] and capture the fundamentals of child development, movement, sensory development, language and attachment theory, so that you can easily navigate the best gifts compatible to your child and how they play.
Take the Hasbro Play Personality Quiz to identify whether your child is a mischievous Jokester or more of a creative Imagineer, a curious Discoverer or an active Energizer and find the perfect toys for Love At First Play.
HASBRO RELEASES ITS GREAT GIFTS 2021 RECOMMENDATIONS
