Our first Giveaway

As part of the Introduction to my Sunday Focus for SA bloggers, I thought it was also time to spoil some of the SA bloggers and their South African readers. And what better time to do it than just before Christmas. Now usually there is a third party involved in the Give-away but there is [...]

Sunday Focus – Fun with Little Mouse!

I have been wanting to start something for South African bloggers called Sunday Focus. Sunday Focus is about linking to some other great South African bloggers that will maybe make connections between SA bloggers but also introduce some great people who might not be known to many of you.
