Throwback to 12 years ago this month when my journey to help Savannah to communicate began.
We have come so far in this time.
On the 6th April I was announced as SA Mommy Blogger’s Best Inspirational Blogger. It is was reward enough to be recognised and I had no expectation of receiving anything else. But to my delight, goodness keeps coming my way.
Jacqui Bester from the blog One Messy Mama and the organiser of the SA Mommy Blogger Awards, informed me that I have been rewarded a set of wine glass trinkets from Muppie Lounge. Something pretty to dress the wine glasses that will hold the beautiful Deetlefs wine.
I have also been gifted a Make-up Makeover by Ryno Make Up Artistry.
Mercy me…. If this is how 40 begins… Bring it on!
Thank you SA Mommy Blogger Awards, Ryno Make Up Artistry and Muppie Lounge.

While the world dedicates April to Autism Awareness in our house everyday is Autism Awareness and Autism Acceptance.
That is the message we spread.
We are humbled to be featured on The Post newspaper today to share Savannah’s journey as an autistic person. It is with deep respect for the autistic journey that we hope other families will be inspired. Please note as a family our personal preference is not to use the term Autistic Spectrum Disorder but we prefer to say that Savannah is autistic. We only have so much control over what goes into print.
To Savannah. We hope that these strides make your personal journey more tolerable.
I’m honoured to be featured by The Non-Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Mum.
This is just a normal day for us and doesn’t take into account unexpected events or big new adventures like Mrs South Africa 2018.
Join me on the 25th of March 2018 at the Johannesburg Zoo where I’ll be helping you to understand the power of communication for the autistic community.
“Our speaker is superwoman Desirae Pillay – mother to an autistic adult daughter, assistive technology advisor at Inclusive Solutions and AAC advocate. This talk will inspire you and change your perception of autism and communication.” – Jozi4Autism
