May Madness, Mom Life & Growing Café Couch
Hi to all the new Café Couch subscribers and followers!
It’s me, Mel Martin ,wonderful wife, fantastic mom, and your local content creator .
Who ,honestly definitely does NOT have her Shyte together! I am chaos in a bottle!

May has honestly been super crazy! Between raising teens, running around to sports activities, and trying to balance everyday life, it has definitely been one busy month.
But at the same time, it has also been incredibly fun, exciting, and rewarding as we continue to grow Café Couch into something really special.
One of the biggest highlights lately has been watching Angela step outside of her comfort zone.
Angela has always been and still is the amazing website and graphic designer and tech-savvy mastermind behind the scenes.
She’s the one who keeps everything running smoothly while making sure Café Couch looks beautiful online.
But lately? We’ve been putting her in front of the camera to create content too!
And honestly, she’s been amazing at it. Seeing her try new things and embrace this new side of content creation has been such a fun journey to witness.
As for me, I’ve been learning so much more about what happens behind the scenes. From planning and organizing content to understanding the technical side of things, it’s been a huge learning curve ,but one I’m truly grateful for.
Now, if you know me, you know I can sometimes be a little ADHD overloaded with ideas flying everywhere at once! I’m the queen of starting ten things at the same time. But thanks to Ang, I’m learning how to slow down, focus, finish what I start, and work smarter instead of harder.
It’s been a season of growth, teamwork, learning, and lots of laughter along the way.

I was also super blessed to have been invited to a stunning Lodge in the Midlands to Review and share with you!
Click the link! (Instagram Video if you keen see where we went! )
Family time is so important and this Lodge still had wifi , but limited to an area so it made us talk more , laugh more ( that we have no problem doing cause we are abit batty as a Family #MartinFamdamily)!
Angela and I also got to connect with some incredible Brands this Month for Mothers Day!
Julz Shoes , these are for the fun women / mom. I have never worn such a comfy sneaker! With my running around and still wanting to look hip and happening , they are perfect,.
Elemental Tallow ( my most FAV SKINCARE Range that does’nt break the bank and is perfect for my skin!) .
STILE, who has made my life easier when keeping my phone on hand 24/7 and safe!! Sometimes I shout “where is my phone” and hubby says , in the sling love!!
Cat Clark – Ok I am that Trucker cap and sneaker kinda Mom but give me a gorgeous pair of PJ’s and I am all yours! Cat Clark uses such gorgeous fabrics and patterns. You can find them on Touchwood Interiors Page and even order online from there!
