THE NEW NORMAL – my online schooling story

Posted on May 15, 2020

Thank God it’s Friday!! Whew! see me jumping and dancing into the weekend Online schooling has not been a stroll in the park like we initially envisaged. The snippets we watched online and as practiced in other countries did not reveal the full story O! The past 3 weeks of online schooling has been tasking, demanding and full of drama…especially in handling my son who is in the nursery class as he requires full supervision and support to go…

ANOTHER BUMP STORY – My Journey

Posted on June 4, 2017

The gradual growth of a pregnancy bump can sometimes be a thrilling and an exciting experience, especially for a greatly anticipated pregnancy. My third missionary journey felt like a whole new experience, It was after all a pregnancy that came after a few years. My initial excitement knew no bound as such it often felt like my attention moved from everyone and everything to the unborn baby. *winks* While expecting that pregnancy, I probably caught the ‘baby blues’. Every…

LITTLE HELPING HANDS – Chores for 2 – 9 years old

Posted on September 25, 2015

I love this picture, it’s a picture of my friend’s 4 year old daughter chopping carrot as neatly as a good chef. The fact that she can chop carrot and other vegetables into such fine shapes comes as a timely reminder to begin teaching and allowing my children handle house chores without hovering over them like a mother hen. After all, didn’t John Adams say that practice makes perfect. It is only when we attempt a task that we get…

ENJOY YOUR BUMP, DEAR PREGGY

Posted on August 20, 2015

Glory is 30 weeks pregnant today and whines more than a mosquito about her pregnancy! Oh yes! My love for her does not stop me from telling her this truth. These complaints intensified at 27 weeks where she complained of eating too much, getting tired of dragging her pregnant frame to work and looking fat like a pregnant pig! Lol. She always ends each episode of whining with “I can’t wait to give birth”. The truth is Glory still looks…

10 TOP TIPS FOR MY DAUGHTER AT 20

Posted on August 6, 2015

My adopted daughter clocked 20 a few days ago and I have been thinking of the right words of advice to share with her as she formally leaves teen-hood to womanhood. Having passed through this stage of life called ’20s’, did not make the words come easy. It feels like we are generations apart (feeling so old *winking*). My experiences and the things obtainable in my generation seem slightly old school. So in the bid to help my daughter take on…

HOW DOES YOUR WALL LOOK?

Posted on July 18, 2015

I need an urgent suggestion or workable solution. My walls have been painted in different shades of crayons, from open spaces to spots hidden by curtains to even bed sheets! *rolling eyes* The interesting part of this ordeal is when I summon my two ‘misses’, an interesting conversation (not explanation O!) ensues. After trading blames between themselves on who did what and who did not; they will attempt to negotiate their punishment or penance. Their responses often do not show any…

When last did you eaves drop?

Posted on July 9, 2015

It’s been ages I eaves dropped on someone but this evening I couldn’t resist the temptation to do so. I have been longing to listen in on this conversation that emits so much giggles and laughter. So this evening I tiptoed to the door leading to the girls’ room and stood by the window, straining my ears to catch some of this conversation. Here is the gist from the beginning; every day at nap or night bedtime, I send the…

9 THINGS ALL MOTHERS KNOW ARE TRUE

Posted on May 21, 2015

I came across this article last week and I was blown away by its simple truth; so all I desired to do was to share with you, my web friends. Full credits goes to http://www.popsugar.com. Mother’s Day has come and gone, and while there’s plenty written about moms in the days leading up to the big day, it was being surrounded by my kids, my own mom, and my grandmother that got me thinking about what it really means to…

BIRTHDAYS

Posted on March 28, 2014

Within the span of one month, I celebrated two birthdays – my daughters turned four and two respectively. I was exceptionally excited and expectant on those special days and unbelievably started the countdown 5 days before the special days. It almost felt like it was my own birthday! *Smile*. In retrospect, I think a mother has more than one birthday; this in my opinion is dependent on the number of children she has and their age group. Did I read…

Posted on November 4, 2013

I can’t help but write about the event of this evening. An exciting and thought provoking incident! I came into the living room with the intention to lounge – sit, stretch my legs and watch the television till sleep comes. But just as my butt hit the cushion, my ladies came bustling to possess their choice and coveted spot – mummy’s laps! Whoever settles in first ensures she takes full possession of the whole space with no intention of sharing.…
