The kids requested peanut butter and jelly (PB&J) sandwich for dinner the other evening… I obliged with generous heaping of peanut butter and jelly spread meticulously on their lightly toasted slices of honey-wheat bread. My 4 year old son, Kehz, usually eats 2+ slices while his 2 year old sister, Azah, barely finishes 2 hence,… Continue reading Is Overfeeding Child Abuse?

I have always loved foreign accents. When I was little and watched Disney cartoons, I tried to speak the way Ariel from the little mermaid spoke because I thought it was so cool. I went to live in France as a kid and although my school was British, we had so many foreign nationals there… Continue reading LAFA – Locally Acquired Foreign Accents

A few nights ago, I was seriously trying to get the kids to settle down for bed. You see, they tend to have different preferences for bedtime reading and after reading both kids choices, Kehz was adamant on re-reading his selection. I calmly stated that it is well past their bedtime as it was 9:15… Continue reading Why Add AM, PM?

So, I have had what you might call writers block for approximately one month. Should probably point out that is more of an ‘authors + publishers exhaustion’ than a ‘writers block’. As I have had quite a few bloggable* encounters/moments within that period but unfortunately almost no time to pen down thoughts… Well, until today.… Continue reading Sleepover or Nah?

The hubby and I randomly decided to take the kids to see ‘Boss Baby’ this evening  and it was a blast! They totally did not expect a trip to the movies on a week night or at all even. Coming to think of it, they hardly ever go to the movies… Their first ever movie… Continue reading ‘Boss Baby’ on a Wednesday?!

Ok so being asked to write here is such a big deal for me. A big thank you for Chimmie for offering to find a space within her dream for me. I struggled with what to write because its not everyday you are asked to be a guest blogger! I may have bragged to a few… Continue reading In Need of a Little Faith…

Ok, anyone else have kids that watch Paw Patrol? Have you noticed how Ryder seems to always have the perfect gadget/vehicle to handle all situations… Which is cool especially since they’re saving the day and regularly helping the residents of Adventure Bay. Mayor Goodway seems to need the most help especially with Foggy Bottoms mayor Humdinger being… Continue reading Ryder & His Pups Source of Income?

I moved to Houston almost 2 years ago now for work. I don’t talk or share a lot about my work with friends outside the medical field because, well, it’s mostly sad. If I talk about work, it’s usually to give advice and occasionally to spread awareness. The story starts with a girl, 7 years… Continue reading Kids and Lakes are a Bad Combo

Once upon a time in Toronto, I was babysitting two boys, 7 years old & 5 years old. They were such cute, darlings, but the first few days were such a challenge as they were probably testing my boundaries.  I wasn’t a mom at the time, and even though I have a bunch of nieces… Continue reading On Criticism

In the light of the Big Brother Naija saga and a certain Kemen’s ‘faux’ apology to women today, International Women’s Day, I was inspired to pen down some thoughts pertaining to sexual assault. I actually have never watched BBN but have of course heard and seen snit bits of the show on social media. This specific incident… Continue reading Victimize NOT the Victims!
