I call this ‘Living in Lockdown and Limbo with Luna’ by @jackiewernbergphotography.
A photographer down the road here is documenting lockdown living and was looking for willing subjects. She launched this ‘Sidewalk Photoshoot’ project which aims to document life during the pandemic. Proceeds are purely donation-based, half of which she then donates to a local shelter. We almost missed the shoot but then luckily the Bao woke up. Even though she was pretty chilled she was also very grumpy and sporting her rbf 😂. Just before lockdown started, Bao and I were getting ready to move and join Kyle in our new home in California. Our possessions all packed up, the house sold, our dogs were at a boarding facility in Gauteng to get a final health check before taking their flight to the US. Luna was ten and a half months old and had just started crawling.

Since then, we’re extremely relieved and happy that the dogs have reunited with Kyle. Luna has started walking, said her first words and had her first birthday cake but sadly, Kyle is missing all of this.

She loves her 阿姨 (aunty Jasmine) and the games they play. Pico was indifferent to her and avoided her mostly, but now she’s allowing her to walk past her, touch her once or twice and will snack with her. Grateful for our hosts @jazzzis, Kray and Pico for making our unplanned three-month-and-counting stay so comfortable. Our flights have been cancelled and rebooked multiple times... we’re still here and our next booked flight is in August. Cross fingers 🤞

Been wanting to do the permanent makeup thing cos I’m rather useless at makeup and I’m lazy af. Powder brows and a baby wingedliner – took this right after so still a little swollen, colour will settle and fade so the brows won’t be so bold but even so... I’m liking this lots! Thank you @miyenbeauty_pmu_cpt 🖤 #permanentmakeup #capetown #capetownmakeup

My folks have made a whole lotta zongzi for a Live Mart order. Go get ‘em gluten-free Tainan-style glutinous rice cakes with pork belly, shiitake, shallots and peanuts cooked in bamboo leaves. There are also vegan ones ☝️#capetownfoodie #capetownfood #foodblogger #foodie #glutenfree #taiwanesefood #taiwan #dragonboatfestival #zongzi

This weekend, Bao frocks up in a petite mustard Peter Pan collared dress with pockets, navy leggings and long grey colour block socks. Ackermans really has me when it comes to baby clothes. I really wish there was one for adults. #babybao #13months #babiesofinstagram #capetownbaby

One of the good things that came outta lockdown is that I could get a print copy of @jamilfarouk’s new book at @bargainbookssa. #localislekker #khamr #themakingsofawaterslams #southafricannonfiction #southafricanliterature

Bao’s almost 9kg so we got a new carrier where Bao can face both in and out till 16kg. Super comfy, easier to wear than others I’ve come across and the elasticity of the fabric gives off a good bounce/rock. The belt is also a zip pocket, like a fanny pack 👌 #chicco #comfyfitbabycarrier #boppycomfyfit #babybao #capetownmoms

I can’t believe it. The dogs get to leave tomorr

I can’t believe it. The dogs get to leave tomorrow 😭😭😭 They’ve been taken care of at BKC Pet in Gauteng since the 23rd of March then lockdown happened. We’ve been separated from them for almost two months with no clue when we’d all reunite with Kyle. I’m so excited, happy and relieved. Bao and I have tickets for the 28th (crossing fingers) so we should all be back together in our new home soon soon. #lockdownliving #babybao

Deep into lockdown, how‘sit hanging thus far? We baked chocolate cake, layered nutty phyllo pastry squares, scones, seed and nut granola mix, Sansa’s lemon cakes, banana loaf, honey sponge cake and a Luna Pig date and banana cake. Oh and pizza, does pizza count? If so, then lasagna too. What have you been baking under lockdown? #worldbakingday #foodie #foodblogger #capetownblogger

Using a recipe from his oma’s cookbook and a wooden mould from his late grandmother. Dogs might be arriving on the 21st of May and our flights have been booked for the 28th, here’s crossing all my butterfingers for everything to go smoothly. Hopefully, in 11 days, we’ll be back in the kitchen making cool food together. #worldbakingday 🍪 #speculaas #spicybiscuits #lekereten #dutchfood
