Hello! Let me introduce myself.

Hello and welcome to this blog!

My name is Heather Step and I’m a mom to Nicholas, born 2012.

I started blogging more than ten years ago to document my journey with infertility. This grew to my journey as a mom and then lately a widow.

Back when I became a mom there wasn’t much out there for South African bloggers in terms of resources so I started South African Mom Blogs. That blog showcases local bloggers and also relevant parenting articles and products.

For a long time now I have wanted to do a course about setting up your blog. I frequently get contacted about how to do it, but I never got around to doing it.

I think what held me back was that I didn’t feel adequate, that there were so many more people out there doing a better job than me. However, I’ve leant that I can contribute something special to the blogging space.

What you’ll find in this course isn’t the average air brushed version. It’s the real story of how I set up a blog, mistakes, road bumps, technical challenges and all. You’ll get the full version and you’ll find, like most things in life, there may be challenges but there’s always a way around them if you keep persisting. This is my story.
