BlogThe Journey

Ah, News Year’s Eve, a time to look towards the  year ahead with a fresh mindset and noting down how best we want to improve. You know, those New Years Resolutions! One of the things I’ve found helpful during my motherhood journey is documenting my experiences. I started doing this when I was pregnant with Baby...

2016 seems like the year that took; not a week went by when there wasn’t a report about someone dying,  at a rate that sent shockwaves around the world. Closer home, we lost my last surviving grandparent. Cucu was strong willed, funny and brave…I still tear up when I think about her because I grew up seeing...

Mid-2016 saw amazing opportunities come my way.

It’s Christmas Day! Merry, Merry Christmas and thank you as always for following my journey. This year has truly been a rollercoaster ride for me. The bliss of watching Baby Huru grow into a vibrant, beautiful soul, my hubs being with me along the way, God’s been good! But I’ve also had to reflect, deeply,...
