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.



A Soulful Blog
Blast back to 2015… I am told, I am going to be a mom… First time…. Silence… Shock…Fear…. All these emotions stirred under the obvious excitement attached to creating humans….
I opened Facebook to share the news. I was nervous. I didn’t know if I wanted children. I have had No experience with kids let alone my own offspring….
And then I found your blog. Step by step guidance through those never ending (so they feel) nights … Real moments shared with real mom experiences.
Kaboutjie restored my confidence in me and made me realise its OK not to know everything. Its also OK to not be perfect and rather “wing” things. Being a Present Parent is what matters most…
Thank You Lynne for your platform,
Stay Safe. Stay Sane and Stay Sanitised.

Lynne is one of my Momtrepreneur Super Heroes
Having watched and been part of Lynne’s journey for the last 10 years, I have been so impressed with how Lynne is always at the leading edge with discovering new ways of being ahead of her game and how she has evolved over the years. Besides her parenting blog, which is a wealth of information, she learns, simplifies and shares generously with others, teaching what she has learnt, but in an easy to understand way. The exposure that I get through Kaboutjie’s platforms is huge, the numbers speak for themselves on my analytics! Systems are well thought out and easy to use. Lynne is right at the top of my Momtrepreneur heroes list.

Alison thank you for your lovely review! The feeling is mutual, you are top of my list of companies to collaborate with! The Papery is an amazing business with fantastic products that fit right in with what I do.
All Good
I truly enjoy your articles and comments, as you speak as a true “South African”! I would however like to know, is it sufficient simply to enter competitions, without following your suggestions of sharing, once entered?
Response from Kaboutjie
Thank you for your review Quentin, it very much appreciated. Regarding the competitions you only have to enter your details into the form and you are entered – this counts as one entry into the competition. If you take extra steps those count as extra entries but they are certainly not required!
