Hello world!
I’m Charlene and I’m so thrilled to have you here. I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa where I still live with my soulmate Kobus. I’m a mama to 2 handsome boys, Jayden and Damien. I started this blog towards the end of 2019 to share my story with the world and hopefully inspire some people along the way. Family is everything to me and there’s truly no place I’d rather be than with my family, where ever life may take us. Everyday I’m so grateful to God for giving me these blessings. Thank you so much for being here! I truly appreciate each and every one of you…
