Breastfeeding was a big thing for me when I gave birth to my boys. Once I read that breastmilk is the best source of nutrition for the first six months of life, I was committed to do my best to breastfeed exclusively during that period. I almost hit the six month mark for both of… Continue reading How I Weaned my Toddlers off Breast Milk

I have always loved telling stories and then I had two boys. Of course, I would love telling stories about them!
He held my hand when he was ready
I'm the kind of mother who believes in allowing our kids to be ready for something without "forcing" them. You may have noticed this when I talked about how I toilet-trained my first born. Now, this isn't something that started when I became a mother. I have had it in me for the longest time.… Continue reading He held my hand when he was ready
Marry your Best Friend
Marry your Best friend. Cliché right? But 5 years of marriage and 3 and a half years of parenting later, I realise it's not just something that's said for saying sake. There's so much truth in it.

Motherhood…A Looong Journey
A few months ago, my kids were taking a nap and I got to work doing the thousand and one things that I cannot do while they are awake and all over the place. I asked myself what happened to sleep when baby sleeps? It got me thinking... Wasn't it just yesterday that I was… Continue reading Motherhood…A Looong Journey
Frying Pancakes
Even before I had kids, I knew I wanted them to shine in home management.

Note that I wrote "initially" there. Two… Continue reading Frying Pancakes

I’m Coming to do My Blending
Remember I posted a similar picture a while back? Around that time was when blending was officially no more my job in my own house. If I dare blend without permission, trouble oh. Today, I called Asempa as usual to inform him. Me: Asempa, I'm about to blend oh. Asempa: Okaaaay! I'm going to play-ay!… Continue reading I’m Coming to do My Blending
How I Toilet-Trained My Toddler
Toilet-training! One of the most challenging milestones in the minds of mothers. I started reading about toilet-training early in the life of my first child and from most of the material I read, the average age that toddlers are ready to be toilet-trained is 18 months. Why 18 months? Well, by this time, most toddlers… Continue reading How I Toilet-Trained My Toddler
