Once upon a time I used to wonder why some of my friends who are mothers always claim they have "no time" for anything fun other than facing their babies...I couldn't understand how busy that kind of life can be but make I tell una...that is what has been happening to me. I've not been able to really manage my time between blogging and mommyhood in the past 3 weeks and that's only because i'm trying to recover. For my mind before I be superwoman but I've come to realise kpe....me sef I be human being oh *in Tuface voice
In superwoman fashion I attended the Peak at 60 event two weeks ago- I went with Bobo and Chief -the young man did not cry too much-in fact he slept through the noise until towards the end when he had to be fed and changed and that's when I realised attending an event with a baby is a whole other ball game. Game changer. However he's a good baby and does not cry much unless he poops, or is hungry. Or wants to fart. Why am I talking about mess when I'm about to show you photos of food from the event? It was lovely! Lots to drink and lots to eat.
Oh, I attended the Mother and Child Expo that took place at the Haven-we got there late and when I mean late I mean, the event ends at 6:00pm, we got there like 5:45 pm. LOL. Almost everybody don pack shop but the good thing is I still met a few people and bought some much needed items. I especially loved these cute booties- I bought a pair.
Chief also got a free shoot that was on offer that day, so when you think about it, even though I spent only 20 minutes there, I got a lot done.
Ehen, there was one person selling rice there-the aroma of the rice dragged me from the car to where her stand was-I bought friedrice and jollof rice but guess what the jollof rice was quarter-to-sour when I took a taste, falling of hand. The friedrice was good sha and I could tell that if the J-rice was not getting bad it would have tasted nice. Just disappointing that I got sold sour rice :(
Last week as a Doroblogger (we need to move the ministry forward) I had an early mo-mo interview on CoolTV all the way in VI. I carried myself there and the baby and Bobo...it was a 7:00am interview so you know I had to be up early as 5:30 to do baby duties then add pancake to my own face. What helped was that it was democracy day so Third Mainland Bridge was so freeeeeeeee.
While the interview was going on they flashed photos from the wedding and from just last year and I couldn't recognize myself...i looked so different from the person sitting in the studio but no wahala. I shall make sure I paste those pictures on my bedroom wall so I can work on getting back in shape but for now I'm taking it one day at a time-I cannot come and go and kill myself. But this is me 3 weeks after baby (I have a pregnancy and delivery post or video coming soon). Shout out to the sweet MissVeraNora for this beautiful skirt-I was meant to wear it while I was pregnant but couldn't because my bump was too big but now it's perfect especially because my tummy is still a bit big and this skirt covers a multitude of sins.

ReplyDeleteHOW BAD CAN A FIRST DATE GET
We talked a little longer about sports, books and movies.
I was having a fantastic time.
All that changed moments later.
Ib suddenly gasped as she stared behind me.
"What is it?"I enquired turning around to .......
"Don't turn around!!!"she urged in a hushed tone.
The once smiling Woman now had a terriffied expression on her face.
"What???"I asked clearly alarmed.
The look on her face was unsettling.
She leaned forward against the table as if to tell me something grave.
"Listen,...Lawrence!"she began.
".....I wasn't lying when I told you I was single....The thing is,...my Ex still wants me back....!"
I sat there processing what I'd just heard. continue reading
Looking good Sisi.

Shior! You didn't wait for the usual 41 days indoor as the Yoruba culture says? I am happy about this post, because I will show my hubby who could not give me a very good reason why a child should not be outside the home,( unless only to the hospital for immunization) until after 41 days. Hmm, this gives me an idea for a post ... Asking permission to link this post Iya Chief.
ReplyDeleteNice one. Great work here and nice recipes I must say ;) Closely following!
