Finding Lulu

it's been a year already? How time flies. Seems like it was just yesterday I and hubby drove down to the hospital, I was overly anticipating to meet her.

Although the truth is I'd lost myself right during my pregnancy; from the food I ate, the manner in which I slept and how I indulge in my daily activities were not me anymore. Everything had suddenly revolved around her and now I'm on a  journey to finding myself again.

Although if I'd be fair, things would never be the way they were before conception, not even my body, my friends nor lifestyle.

Motherhood is indeed beautiful. I'd never had imagined loving some other person more than myself.

Suddenly I get cold feet considering Working. No I'd rather be an Entrepreneur I say, I definitely don't want to be a stay at home mum, not like there'sanything wrong with that but it's not for everyone.  I'd be miserable if i tried. I want to earn money taking care of my baby.

I'd spend hours online reading and trying to decide on what I really want to do.

it's really not been easy, with social life pending, it takes hard work and determination to keep track with keeping fit and doing all it takes to live my best life.

But then I think what's the rush? I spent nine months of my life preparing for her birth, everything I read, watched, listened to, thought, talked and dreamt about was birthing a gem and ensuring she had the best start and beyond.

Asides being a Mum I'm doing all what it takes to stay fit and healthy.

Reading is to Mind as Exercise is to the body.

I'd kick start from here.


Grateful for my support system.

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained. Initially she got potty trained at about 21 to 22months old officially even though before then she'd indicate when she needed to use her potty but i choose to say 22months old because she decided independently on her own to stop wearing diapers, whenever I wore her diapers she'd remove it and that's when I came to the conclusion that we were potty trained! So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early. So I do as told even though I wasn't doing it consistently, reason because it was difficult to tell when she needed to pee or poo, it just happens plus I wasn't always into it, so it was off and on for me. Fast forward to when s...

Fifteen Things I Would Teach My Daughter

Motherhood is overwhelming . I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl. For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.  Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do,  Become or Love:  Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn...

Getting Hitched

Been Married for Three months traditionally and two months legally and in the sight of God. I tend to see and listen to many single ladies drowl and gush on the thought of getting Married. Now don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if only it's for the right reasons and with a proper understanding of the word "Marriage". During school days i was opportuned to have several amazing friends who'd gush and fantasies on their dream wedding mostly when they go online and check out videos and stories on some of the top Nigerian weddings via Instagram. Back then for me I wasn't really all blown away by the thought of having a fabulous wedding and what not; I was rather more of a  " I am happy and that's all that counts".  I had my boyfriend then back in school and we were really happy but never for once did I allow the thought of marriage sink in because quote me wrong but I felt marriage would ruin everythin...
