Life Issues & Inspiration

I have been MIA for a while!😔I need to change! But over the past month, I have had cause to think about what proper upbringing entails . I am thankful for my parents and the family I was born into. I am finding everyday that my parents did a great job with us, they were not perfect, no, but they did great.
Just last week, in a whatsapp group I belong to, we were discussing the way some teenagers and young adults a these days behave within and outside their homes and it leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of the group members shared their experiences of family members or relatives that have stayed with them for one reason or the other and how much entitlement, laziness, ill manners and even bad attitude they had to put up with before eventually finding a way to either get the people out of their houses or the relationship completely deteriorated.

I am all for bringing up intelligent, self confident and independent kids and helping them to be the best they can be. However, remember that it is not enough to just be brilliant and not learn to relate with people or interact with others regardless of sex, race , religion, age and so on. Human beings are social animals

It has been some kind of day😑 It was not really a bad day,it was just a ‘bleh’ kind of day. Hope you had a good day?😀

So,today,I want to talk about something that happened to me some days ago. I had been piling up my night shirts for some days;yea! I am a night shirt kinda girl😀 It is comfortable,it is easy to throw off,it can ride as high as you want it to 🙈and it is usually cotton. Cotton is my favourite kind of fabric for many reasons. Oops!🙊I digress.

I was saying,I had my night tees piled up and on a weekday after the kids had left for school and Ogbeni Michael for work,I decided to throw them in the washing machine before I get on to my work for the day,(remember ,I currently run a home office😊). I threw in everything and started washing.

I had recently gotten 3 beautiful, new night shirts and they were in the WM alongside the others,imagine my shock when i opened the machine and realized that my nightshirts were all now like campala,a vivid red colour had run all over my

I like to think of this space as my respite,somewhere I sometimes just want to sound off,somewhere I can bare my mind or just rant without necessarily feeling like I am ‘revealing too much’ or anything like that. It is funny how I am a private person but I can chit chat or hold a conversation with almost anybody for hours( except I just absolutely do not want to). Writing on here is usually not planned per se but I am trying to get some sort of structure and order to my writing🙈🙊 Am I saying this too often?😀
Earlier this month was Nicole’s 9th birthday😀Yipeee! She had been singing in my ear how she looks so forward to being 9 as she would now be pre teen(Don’t even ask me how 9years is preteen😒) However,her 10th birthday is the one she says we must throw a party for,I am just looking at her somehow especially since she made me promise to start saving towards her 10th birthday😂😂😂.
Anyway,our 9th birthday was on a Thursday,she was still writing exams and her school has a policy that ensures pupils can only celebrate birthdays on Fridays regardless of what day of the week it falls.
On Wednesday night,we talked about the birthday and I asked her what she wanted. She said she would like party packs for her friends and a size 10 or 12 cake😨 I told her I had no plans for cake this birthday,at least not right now. She sighed and said she somehow guessed so but she would have liked to have cake. I felt somewhat bad so I asked

It is mothering Sunday and I think it is a good time to talk about this woman,the phenomenal woman I call “mummy”.
My mother is one of the best things in my life,actually both my parents are😀 but today,I’ll just talk about my mum. Iya ni iya mi! My mother is a mother indeed.
My mum is that person who will give and give not caring whether those she is giving to appreciate it or not. I remember one time,I asked her ” why do you do so much for people who do not even deserve or appreciate it?” And she always answers ” you should do things for people regardless of whether they remember to say thank you or even turn around to hurt you. Do it and let God see your heart,do it without expecting anything in return.”
My mum is a selfless person,she cares and loves deeply. I remember how in 2010,all our lives were turned upside down. We lost Inosi,my immediate older brother,it was February 14th,I watched my mother
