Your family wakes you up on Women’s Day with the best gift ever. What is it?
Homemade cards from my girls.
What is the best girly advice you ever got from a best friend?
Colour coordination, and always trim the brows.
What would you say is the most important lesson you want to teach your daughters?
To be themselves and to be content with who they are. I would want them to know that they were created in God’s image and the world cannot take that away from them. Also to be loving and forgiving as the world is not always your friend. They will also need forgiveness and kindness during their lifetime.

Think of a girl as a rose, if you are to rough with them, their petals will fall off, and if you don’t respect them the thorns will surely prick you.
