Hi, I’m Candice, mother hen to this troop of wildness. Three daughters, one son and don’t forget the husband… If you’re wondering if it’s a bit chaotic at times the answer is yes- most of the time.

Let me introduce the troop to you…

Danica Mila Smith (born Sep 2010), first born and leader of the pack. She’s wild and free and has a huge heart that’s easily broken. She wears her heart on her sleeve . She’s always up for a challenge and she sets the tone for the rest of the pack which involves shouting, singing and often a lot of bickering … she makes our world a better place with her beautiful smile and marvelous creations.

Mataiah Mila Smith (born Jan 2012)…. my second born and ying to the yang (her sister). A small stick of dynamite, this little fire cracker gives her slightly older sister a run for her money… every. Single. Day…. and boy can she run! She’s a blue eyed, blond bombshell who will give any boy a good beating. Our family would be like a curry without spice in it without her…

Harvey Mila Smith (born Aug 2018)… nicknamed Chaos for a legit reason she’s a great combination of her two sisters with a little twist. She’s as adorable as you can imagine. Filled with charm, mischief and attitude, she’s a little madam who brings us joy.. most of the time.. you just can’t help falling in love with this sweetheart

Elijah Ivor Smith (born Sep 2020)… we are hoping the calm in our storm… our little prince has us all whipped. He’s charming and handsome. We thought we were destined to be parents of daughters until he surprised us in lockdown. We often pinch him to make sure he’s real…

As parents we can’t wait to see what’s in store for these awesome foursome. We are determined to give them the best childhood and to help them become the best they can be. Through taking them on the craziest adventures we hope to bring out the best in them… let’s do this!

We are the Smith Juniors. Brad Smith is my other half and has enabled me to be who I am where I am. Fun, adventurous, spontaneous and the mould for the fire crackers in our family, this man is also the cornerstone of our family. God is our other cornerstone – on whom we build our family. Together we run a pretty tight ship…. But chaos still reigns and we love it. Most of the time. Making the most of our time while our babies are still under our roof is one of our main focuses. Each and every one of our babies means the world to us and we are determined to raise world changers.

This blog is about showing you real life people living their best lives. We love trying new things and experiencing what this world has to offer. So join us as we tour South Africa, and hopefully when we’re able to go abroad, the rest of the world. You can read our reviews on all the places we see and if you like it- maybe go there yourself one day. Don’t judge – we’re doing the best we can and feel free to laugh at us if you find us slightly entertaining.
