Welcome to Kaboutjie.com!
I’m a passionate South African mum living in the beautiful seaside town of Dwarskersbos. My blog is a space where I share my journey, helpful tips, honest product reviews, and inspiration for parents navigating the joys and challenges of raising kids.
Whether it’s balancing work and family, creating fun activities for little ones, or diving into self-care (because mums need it too!), my goal is to help parents feel supported and empowered.
I also love connecting with my readers! You can find me on my Facebook page, join the Kaboutjie Parenting Community Facebook group, follow me on Instagram, sign up for my newsletter, or contact me via email at lynne@kaboutjie.com.
Let’s grow together and share this amazing parenting journey!
Visit often for relatable stories, handy advice, and a sprinkle of humour to brighten your day. Thank you for being part of this wonderful parenting journey with me.
I would also really appreciate your feedback so please leave a review for me below.

Soek Karre!!!!!!!
I just cant seem to find prices or any adverts on the new series of model cars. As a man I do understand that it is a blog for ladies by a lady. But come on………

Hi Leon – as per my review of the Majorette Tune Ups they are available on Takealot – I just had a look at Takealot and the price is currently R93 per blind box of Majorette Tune Ups.
I Simply Love this page!!
I simply Love this page, There is no Judgement or heavy guarding for rules like other pages where every second post is about getting blocked if you dont do this and that! Its a safe space where I can share my concerns and ask for help when Im not sure what to do with my kids and everyone is so friendly and helpful!! Not to mention the option to be anonymous when you ashamed to ask a very Privet question!! Overall its just really a great page!! Thanks Lynne for all you do!!
Response from Kaboutjie
Thank you Naomi! And yes I do not moderate my Facebook page or group much because I believe in moms supporting moms and we need to be able to ask for help. And yes I am also loving the option in my Kaboutjie Community Parenting group on Facebook allowing fans to post anonymous questions -there is such a big need for anonymity when it is very personal.
Best website for moms!
Absolutely love this website! So informative for parents. And the newsletters are great too!

Thank you for your review Ally!
Mommy's Mental health
It’s great to know there’s help at hand where one can just ask and get feedback. Would love it if perhaps you could touch on mental health. Some mommies have special needs kids and kids in general are exhausting, I’d love to know how mommies are coping out there
Response from Kaboutjie
Thank you for your feedback Rose, I must get some more mental health posts up for sure. I’m also feeling the exhaustion lately big time! While I don’t have special needs kids as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict with bipolar disorder I am very passionate about mental health issues. If you use the search bar on my website or check the category mental health you will find an abundance of mental health resources.
