About Me:

Hi I'm Nikita.

Welcome to my corner of the online sphere. A place where we can be honest about mothering while trying to juggle life as working moms. As mothers, we worry about losing our identity, so let's find out together. With eight years of experience as a wordsmith, I'm never at a loss of words but maybe that's my Portuguese heritage coming through.

So proud to be named one of Twinkl's Best Family Bloggers for 2023

Together with @sweetlife.org.za we are helping bre Together with @sweetlife.org.za we are helping break the stigma of diabetes.

In South Africa, there is a horrible stigma surrounding diabetes along with pre-conceptions about the disease.

It does not discriminate; it affects people of all ages, races and social-barriers.

So here is my beautiful, lovable and bright daughter. 

She is a real joy.

She has Type 1 diabetes and lives a beautiful life in spite of it. 

As devastating as it was to be told this news after her 5th birthday, we are here 4 years later continuing our lives as normal as we can armed with the correct information and educating as many as possible.

Remember the 5 signs of diabetes:
1. Extreme thirst 
2. Frequently urinating 
3. Lethargy
4. Weight loss 
5. Extreme hunger 

Check the highlight T1D for more about our journey about T1D and share it with others to help end the stigma.

I was introduced to Boursin cheese at a girls weekend and I had to try it. 

Ingredients

Packet of spaghetti
Olive oil 
1 tub of Boursin cheese 
3 Tomatoes
1 Onion 
1 Carrot
Half a red pepper 
Half a yellow pepper 
Handful of spinach
Diced bacon 
40g of chopped mushrooms 
Italian herbs spice 

1. Sauté the mushrooms and bacon until cooked. Set it aside  in a bowl.

2. Place your Boursin cheese in the centre of your cooking tray. 

3. Add the rest of the vegetables into the tray and drizzle it with olive oil. Sprinkle a tablespoon of Italian Herbs.

4. Cover the tray with tin foil and place it in the oven  for 20-30 minutes/until the vegetables are roasted. 

5. Boil your spaghetti al dente.

6. Once your vegetables are roasted and ready, blitz it together (I use my @thermomix_za).

7. Pour the sauce over your spaghetti and stir in your bacon and mushrooms. 

Enjoy!
