This year will be my second Mother’s Day. I’m not going to lie I’m really looking forward to the times when Nina James is going to come bearing gifts made from uncooked pasta, glitter and the overpowering but intoxicating scent of Pritt clear glue. I think things like that are so sweet. She’s still a bit young for such activities, I know this because we attempted to make a birthday card for Shane and it ended in her face covered in paint and macaroni all over the dining room floor. On the plus side though the pasta kept her occupied for a solid 20 minutes and Shane received a card unlike any other, it looked like someone had wiped their hands on it after falling into a puddle of grey mud.
In a few days it’s Mother’s Day, a day where you get to show your mom just how special she is and just how much you love her. So seeing as I am a mom I thought about what I’d like to get for Mother’s Day this year and then I remembered our awesome trip to Omega Luxury Mountain Retreat in Clarens just over a year ago. It was honestly one of the best weekends I’ve ever spent out of Johannesburg. These cabins are beautifully decorated, each one has a private deck and jacuzzi and they overlook landscapes that will have you crying into your pillow at night because you don’t want to close your eyes and go to sleep.
So I chatted with the lovely owners and told them how I would love to giveaway a 2-night stay at their beautiful establishment and guess what? They were only more than happy to make that happen and for the prize to be a 2-night stay (subject to availability) for four people in one of their brand new Deluxe Cabins worth over R3000!
Trust me when I tell you that you’re going to want to win this one. Scroll down for details.
This competition is open to absolutely everyone, it’s not just for moms. The only criteria are that you have to make your own way to Clarens and back.

I love Clarens!! i would take my Boyfriend Kyle Bosman, we do long distance so this would be amazing! I have shared this competition to my facebook page.
So not only is it my birthday the day before Mother’s Day… But I am currently the mom of a 22 month old, 8 months pregnant and about to write 7 final psychology exams… The thought of getting a few hours to myself where I am even a little bit comfortable, seems like heaven. I’d take my handsome husband with me to add on his insane massage skills… Please ?

I am poor. I need to win this prize. The end.
I’d be taking my nearest and dearest for a girls weekend because I simply struggle to find time to do anything anymore – my best friend who is here all the way from America, the other friend who works the most inconvenient hours and has about one day off a month (including weekends) and my better half who brings out the adventure and positivity in me. I cannot tag on here otherwise I would’ve.
I’d be taking my beautiful mom & sister. Both are wonderful mother’s who have given up a lot to filfill this role! They are my heroes! Since I love a little fat away a weekend of quality time together would put huge smiles on all of our faces! :):):)
