               Hello Lovelies, It's been a while. I missed you all. Did you miss me?? Had to take care of something's . Been working on the blog learnt it's being a bit difficult to comment. Also working on my Logo Yippe!!!! Facebook page and other social media outlets. Thanks for standing by me. Much Love!!!! Today I will be talking about Friendship!!!!                                                WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!! Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. Having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words. Friendship is a sweet responsibility. Friendship is built. Friendship is a combination of affection, loyalty, love, respect and trust. SIX ELEMENTS OF A FRIEND. F-  Friends are faithful and loyal. R-  Real and True to each other without hypocrisy. I-   Interested in similar things and in what each other like to do.

                           Hello Lovelies,  It's another beautiful week. I am very excited because Christmas is around the corner. Are you?? The interesting topic for today is keeping romance alive after kids. Welcome on board. The transition from husband and wife To mummy and daddy can be very tricky indeed. You have to consciously work To keep the fire burning. Love is a choice!! Love is a Verb!!! Create what you want to see and try as much as possible to stay connected always. WAYS TO KEEPING IT ALIVE; Will be sharing a few; 1. Care for your spouse openly; Strong marriages make strong families. Intimacy is like a glue. Your kids will always watch you. They learn first from you what love should look like. Add variety to your relationship. Variety is the spice of life *winks A sweet little note, buy small gifts, play ludo games, cards, pillow fight, etc. Little affection before the kids isn't bad. Hold hands, cuddle, k

Being a parent is actually one of the hardest job. But you will Love it and won't trade it for anything. Given what I now know about kids, I will love to share some first time mum mistakes; 1. Being Territorial; Have trouble sharing your newborn?? Hahahaha i know the feeling. You just end up not resting much. Now I know it takes a village to raise a child and no matter who holds the baby, you are still the Mummy!!!! Enjoy the help you receive. 2. Comparing your baby with others; Even if someone else baby is already solving complex equations. As long as yours is within the normal range Relax. Babies develope at their own pace. Don't waste the precious time to bond with your baby worrying about spitting too much, eating much etc. 3. Babies Cry; Yes you can feed, change diapers and do all but they still just cry. Babies are designed to cry. Crying is OK but if your baby becomes inconsolable for 45mins/ 1 hr and has a fever or anything unusual, call your Docto

          Yes!!!! It's never too late to start afresh. A new job, career path, relationship or a business idea?? Just Start!! Don't let your past hold you down, because you will be missing the good stuff ahead. Mistakes, disappointment, failures are all part of the journey. Don't stop keep moving... Re-strategize, Restructure and Re-organize. ***You have to step out of your history into your Destiny**** New Beginnings!!!!! Don't let the past steal your present. There is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.... Believe in Yourself. Cheers! Have a fabulous day.

Meal times becomes more difficult as toddlers grow. This tend to happen as they gain independence and develope personalities. Although this could be very frustrating for a parent, It is a normal phase in a toddler development. Will be sharing some ways to cope; 1. Be a good role model; Eat the foods you are encouraging them to eat. 2. Prepare for a messy meal time; Don't expect much food to get into their mouth at once. Bit by bit. 3. Make meal fun; Pancakes could be made in shapes, plantain could be fried in different shapes for easy finger foods. Make the food colourful and inviting. 4. Keep Trying; After the hardwork that goes into preparing a meal and your toddler just spits it out. Very frustrating right!!!! I know. Don't give up. Keep trying and you will be surprised it will become their best food. 5. Keep Calm; Toddlers test everything out, most especially our patience. When you want to cry or shout, remember patience. All the very best as we try

Hello beautiful people!!!!! Welcome to a great week. Today we shall be looking at how to get back into shape after baby. Yes!!! We have to get it back together..*winks* Getting back into shape shouldn't be about the pressure to lose weight.  It should be about returning to your body and your soul. Getting back to a strong, healthy and energetic place. It took you nine months to put the weight on. Give yourself at least nine months to get it off. Be patient with yourself and your body. Some of the things to consider are; 1. Genetics; your genes have a lot to play in this. Different people, Different genes. Don't compare yourself rather understand your gene then find out the best way to go about it. 2. Start Early; After your post natal check usually after six weeks, you can gradually begin a light routine. Walking is a wonderful exercise and you can also begin other forms of exercise put please do check in with your doctor before starting. 3. Eat healthy;

Hello Lovelies, Here are some beautiful quotes; 1. Successful marriages are those where both husband and wife seek to build the self esteem of the other. 2. A marriage may be made in heaven but the maintainance must be done on earth. 3. Some situations becomes big problems if allowed to grow. Don't make mountains out of mole hills. 4. The essence of getting married is to have deep and lasting companionship. Build towards this. 5. Like glue the strength of your Bond can only be appreciated, After resisting the pressures that tries to pull you apart. Be Encouraged!  6. Build your partners confidence by promoting their strength, good points and things they excel in. ** Show your partner by your words and actions that they are important**. Remember "Love is a Verb". Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you do when you can't see where the relationship is going?? Relationship as we all know is a beautiful thing but when you sit back and you can't see the future of the relationship, what do you do? Here is what I suggest; 1. Communicate; Communication cannot be over emphasized in a relationship Yes! You have to talk and talk no Assumption. Communication simply put is the act or process of using, words, signs, behaviours to express your ideas, thought, feelings etc. to someone else. When you can't see where the relationship is going, have a heart to heart talk with your partner. Don't hold back let it flow. 2. Counselling; Seek Help from professionals, your pastors or elders you both respect. It isn't a case of who is "wrong" or "right" but

                                     So I came across this picture on Facebook and I smiled  #memories#. A nurse once told me that children don't feel pain only discomfort and the mothers are the ones who make them panic. Do you agree? My first immunization experience with my son was indeed memorable. It was his 6wks, he cried a bit after the injection and I was like Yipee!!! The phase is over. However the celebration didn't last long because few hours after we got home, he started crying so much that he was also running temperature and lifting a leg. Hehehehe at that point I was officially confused. I had to consciously calm myself so I don't panic. After administering paracetamol for babies, dabbing his leg with a wet towel, singing, moving around trying to soothe him. He slept off on my chest and that was his sleeping position till the next day.  Mother's love is indeed unconditional.

"Children are great imitators". So give them something great to imitate. ~Anonymous  We worry about what a child will become tomorrow yet, we forget he is someone today.   ~Stacia Tauscher You  can learn many things from children. How much patience you have for instance.  ~ Franklin P. Jones Children seldomly misquote. Infact they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said. ~Author unknown  It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.  ~ Fredrick Douglas

The journey into motherhood is quite an interesting journey. This is because everyone has a unique experience. The most common things are the emotions which we feel. This ranges from excitement, happiness, anxiety, fear, joy,uncertainty,unconditional love....             The list is endless. First pregnancy is always fun besides the morning sickness, restlessness, tiredness e.t.c. The fun part is knowing that after the process you would hold your cute little one. The amount of care, love and attention you receive is Priceless. Everyone wants to know how you are doing. The calls, advice, food, attention e.t.c. You know the feeling right *winks*. Pls enjoy it because as the kids increase in number 2nd,3rd,4th.... Hahaha you just might be surprised. The first trimester usually seems to be the hardest, the changes going through your body and the adapting process hmmmmmmh.... Its for a Good Cause, Keep Pushing. The second trimester on the other hand is much more fun because y

                                                  What was your first reaction when you saw your pregnancy test result?? Excitement, Panic, Fear, Joy........the list goes on. For me I was ecstatic, excited and a bit afraid ( The fear of the unknown). It was a month plus after my wedding back to work  and wasn't trying hard at all to conceive. The honeymoon phase was still on nah *winks* . It will come in God's time I sincerely believed. On a beautiful Saturday morning after a hetic week at work I woke up at 11:30am....What!!! I overslept and you didn't wake me I told my hubby and he smiled and said"you needed  it baby, you were tired". The weekend passed and a new week began. I went to work as usual but was still feeling a bit tired hmmmmmh! after how many hours of sleep. My mind by now has started calculating.( Where is the calendar?). After a while hubby called and suggested we buy a pregnancy test kit.......... Ghen! Ghen! The rest they say is history.
