I am browsing through the beauty section of my favourite neighbourhood supermarket, the salesgirl greets me cheerfully before turning back to attend to her customer. She knows me well enough to know that I know where to find everything I normally pick up at her corner. While bending over to scoop up some bath soap, … More Mummy moment: Too proud to ask
Another 2 months without a post, I’m so sorry. It wasn’t my fault… Completely. You see, not many people know this but when I was younger, I experienced anxiety attacks. I learnt to control this but now, from time to time I experience bouts of melancholy. I don’t feel suicidal so I don’t call it … More Mummy Moment: Sent for days like this.
Yes. I know I’ve been MIA, but really, you need to walk in my shoes to understand how absolutely manic my life has been over the past 1 month. I took a few days off work to plan our move and get D ready for Year 1 work seeing as a change in schools is … More About That Time I Vanished for 6 Weeks
Here is a beautiful number from Timi Dakolo. I remember when I almost got the chance to meet him, but it didn’t happen and I was so disappointed. (Yes I’m a groupie). He is such a seasoned and brilliant musician with that Michael Bolton raspiness going on (ahem). And as for the title of this … More When You Send Birthday Wishes to One You Don’t Always Like
First of all, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. It has been crazy busy at work and at home. In fact, I’m clacking away on my laptop while I wait for my delayed flight home at Nnamdi Azikiwe airport and my brain is tired. My colleague will say, “I am having a brain-ache.” … More #MummyMoment: What Grace Looks Like

So I am looking at replacing bathrooms, door handles, window nets etc. That is before I start looking at whether the living room … More #MummyMoment: On This Cooking Matter (Yet Again)
So, I just realized I didn’t finish my tale about that country I am not always excited to visit. Maybe that is why I came down with malaria shortly after. I’m much better now thanks. I’ve only been asked if I was bitten over there. Erm, I don’t know the nationality of the mosquito. I … More Mosquitoes Bites and Bad Comedy
These TV shows and adverts make it look as if summer is one day of sunshine after another. They have fed us this romantic notion of children running around green fields all day, building sand castles on sunny beaches, playing in parks and eating ice cream with adults lounging around the garden sipping lemonade. It’s … More My Lagos Summer
As I move on to customs I only realise that I am still wearing the crease of my encounter on my face when the Customs man greets me with fear and trembling. It may have something to do with my black ensemble with black hair to boot. I immediately loosen my face and smile a … More #MummyMoment: Travelling and Airport Drama Part 2
