HERE'S WHAT'S UP: COOKING FOR A NEW MOM

A few months ago, I visited my pregnant Ugandan neighbour. She reminded me of the good not-so-old days of pregnancy. She constantly had saliva in her mouth and she kept chewing on things to prevent her from spitting continuously. She also couldn't stop asking me about Jollof Rice. My neighbour has always expressed how much she loves my food. So when she had her baby a few days ago, I went all in to give her the treat of her life. Here are the things I made.

HERE'S WHAT'S UP: SO I PLANTED A GARDEN

Yes that's the kind of garden I planted in front of my house. I had planned to garden this year. I pictured my front door blooming with flowers. I imagined neighbours passing by and admiring it, drooling and wondering how I did it. Then when spring came, it took me forever to purchase seeds and sow them.

6 THINGS I WANT THIS SUMMER

Besides, I was still getting to know my new environment. But this summer, my buttocks are somewhat beginning to fit well into the seat. I've gone from JJC (Johnny Just Come) to JHBH (Johnny Has Been Here). So I want to rock it until there'll be nothing left of it.

I've been thinking about how I'll make the months ahead super fun. My wish-list consists mostly of style/beauty items and a a few other things to pamper mama because body no bi fayawood (The body needs rest). Ha!
