Asked the child I was assessing (5), what she would wish for if she had 3 wishes.

First one: “that when I get to school it’s already snack time.”

You and me both kid, you and me both.

We are still feeling pumped up from all the learning, connection, and collaboration from last week's conference, Beyond the Label. Thank you @_AISJ & SENIA Community. 'Til the next one but for now, enjoy all the beautiful smiles from our Whova Photo collection. #SENIAAfrica

I am going to open a criminal case and it’s going to make what Arthur Fraser did seem like coco melon.

We need to know the names of the ministers involved in criminality, we need to know what the President knew and what he did after being informed.

@ItsTheReal_BizZ It’s special because it’s Cadbuury, not Cadbury

@BlackHa31522761 @hannelene28 @lana_helberg Let it be known though that I have no intention to go out there and fix them, but I also don’t plan to drive around and mark them with spray paint.

[Claire Maher @cm_psychologist]

@BlackHa31522761 @hannelene28 @lana_helberg With that mentality then we shouldn’t be using solar, inverters or power banks and just sit in the dark and be angry with Eskom and the ANC. We’re not afraid to make our personal space as comfortable as we can; why shouldn’t we fix potholes?

[Claire Maher @cm_psychologist]

Spent the afternoon having difficult conversations and addressing the white elephant in the room. Thanks Waterkloof House Preparatory School for having me! https://t.co/ykv5vkdGoh

@lana_helberg Rather fix them and see it as advertising for whatever political party you choose to follow 😊

[Claire Maher @cm_psychologist]

@hannelene28 @lana_helberg Was just coming here to say this! Exactly! It’s not our job, but we can certainly do something about a bad situation. Lots of energy spent spray painting that could be done filling potholes!

[Claire Maher @cm_psychologist]

@Poplak The end goal isn’t wrong, but the execution isn’t acceptable - instilling fear isn’t going to teach the correct lesson. The message being sent is that one can shove, shout and intimidate to get results…our boys need role models who show them how it’s done!

@Facebook ads for wine are too much. Yes I've been searching since 26 March & appreciate the efforts, but how can I make a choice between @RicketyBWinery @BoschendalWines @babylonstoren & @Wedgewoodnougat (cos with wine you need treats) if they're advertised one after the other?

A little something I had the privilege of writing

[BabyYumYum.com SA's #1 Digital Parenting Portal @BabyYumYumSA]

As if lockdown wasn’t challenging enough, we now have the task of helping to homeschool our older kids. Here are some survival tips from moms who are nailing it, and a psychologist.

We need write-ups of every person who dies from the Coronavirus in SA. It makes the deceased more than just stats, & it makes them real in the minds of those on lockdown - this is why we are doing this, bc actual people are dying! May they Rest In Peace. https://t.co/Lr2yJtWiTq
