A mom recently shared a video on social media where she had 17 diapers lying around in her house. There were lots of disappointing comments (gross; that's neglect and abuse; how could you show that, etc) but then moms started coming out in support, sharing their '17 diapers' confessions. The things they do that other people may look at strangely. Things that other people may not see, realize or understand. […]

The Secret Life Of Motherhood Podcast with Anne and Christine is a tongue in cheek, interactive podcast, where moms can talk about the.... secret life they live. Topics such as momguilt, is this normal, the embarrassment kids can bring, etc are discussed. Recently, Anne and Christine welcomed their first guest, Zell, a single mom. They asked her one question: What do you wish the world understood about being a single mom. […]

Isn't this a sight of beauty? I'm not drooling, YOU'RE drooling! I call this the 'King of Charcuterie Boards'. Then again, when you build a Charcuterie board with Hartlief products, every board deserves royal status! For this board I used Pepper Salami, Windhoek Salami, Chorizo, Black Forest Ham, and Choppa. I paired it with Brötchens, Goats Cheese, Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Stuffed Olives. Oh and of course, homemade Chilly Jam. As […]

I almost didn't build this Charcuterie board, because my son nearly got a head start on building it! Tuesday nights in my house, are now called Hartlief Charcuterie board night, and it's something my son and husband have absolutely no objection to! My son has seen my make these a few times now, and so he has started helping me build them each week. The selection we went with this […]

School holidays are great... if you're a kid! But after a few days, this mommy definitely needed a break. Enter... Hartlief I call this the 'Mommy Needs Alone Time' Charcuterie board. The short salami range is one of my utmost favourites, so I build this board using German Style Salami, and Dauerwurst. Hartlief's traditional German style salami is created using the same methods which have been used for many years. […]

September is all about Hartlief's VERY extensive Salami and Cured Meats range. And when I say 'Extensive Range', I really mean it's a massive range. The range consists of: Beef Salami, German Salami, German Salami Short, Italian salami short, Italian Salami, Pepper salami, Pepper salami short, Salami Selection, Windhoek Salami, Lamb Windhoek Salami, Dauerwurst, Coppa, Black Forest Ham, Mettwurst, Teewurst, Smoked beef, and Chorizo. I know what you're wondering. With 9 different types of Salami, do they actually each have their own unique taste? Absolutely! For this board, I used Italian […]

Oh dear... I think I'm starting to fall down a rabbit hole with these Hartlief Charcuterie Boards. I feel like a Charcuterie Cup might be better than a board. Simply because too many fingers can help themselves to a board, but with a cup, it's all yours! And the options would be endless! I'm thinking the perfect Charcuterie Cup would have Cabanossi, Landjäger, Lamb as well as Pork Streaky Bacon […]
