Hello and welcome to my lifestyle & parenting blog
I’m Shante, an English Rose who moved to Cape Town from England in 2010. I married a very handsome South African and together we have two beautiful daughters, Rosie and Cece, and they are my muses..
The blog is my outlet for a lot of emotion and personal experiences; it allows me to share my journey, my awkward parenting moments and the things that I enjoy – I hope that it acts as a record for my daughters when they grow up.
It’s honest, raw, full of British sarcasm and reaches a predominantly female audience, living in South Africa and the U.K. and aged between 25-40.
Rose & Thorns houses my great loves – my family, food, travel, wine and living abundantly.
