Ultimately, we need to remember that each person has amazing qualities that make us who we are. Sometimes, people don\u2019t see beyond the surface, which can lead to ridicule and bullying, especially with children. This in turn can impact the way we view life, and I believe it\u2019s important to know that we shouldn\u2019t change who we are for other people. Everyone who walks out our door leaves feeling more confident and beautiful, inside and out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>March\u00e9 and Christof have been married for nearly nine years, and have two beautiful kids, five-year-old Christo and three-year-old Lila, whom March\u00e9 describes as her everything. Christo is a bright and vibrant little boy with a winning smile and plenty of hugs for his mum. Little Lila is the apple of her dad\u2019s eye, and has a very well-defined will of her own. \u201cChristo is soft and sweet, while Lila knows just what she wants and when. They are the reason I get up every morning and do what I love,\u201d smiles March\u00e9. \u201cI definitely wouldn\u2019t be able to do what I do without them. They make me tick in every way. It isn\u2019t always easy to balance everything, but luckily I have the best husband who really supports me and helps me when things get overwhelming.

Quality family time includes spending time in nature with Christo and Lila, going to the Kruger for the day or the weekend if they get the opportunity, and they also love being on the farm. \u201cChristof and I both grew up on a farm, and we love that lifestyle. We try to get to the family farm as regularly as possible, where we take the kids fishing, driving around to feed the farm animals, and generally making memories they can cherish, just as our parents did with us.
