Mom's Corner

Hola! Como estan? I need to up my spanish speaking game! I need to be able to say "how are you doing?", "what is your name?", favorite movies and the likes. Does anyone know how to say "how has your week been?".Please let me know at the comment section!

I put to bed on the 1st of June, 2016 to a cute king!  And since then my world has experienced matchless joy. I have smiled, laughed, cussed and of course cried. Yes o, in as much as i am excited about the birth of my son, i have cried. The first few weeks was tiring and overwhelming for me. Baby Kay was always wanting to be cuddled, still does. Day time, he is awake. Night? Still awake. I would breastfeed him, hoping he would go to sleep and yes he would but the moment i drop him in his cot, his eyes are wide open again. Ha, this child of mine! Most times i get so overwhelmed with my emotions that i will start crying. But thankfully, this past night he slept all through! Can someone shout Halleluyah!!! I pray and hope this trend continues.

Baby Kay

Being a mom is great! Knowing you are responsible for someone. Like you will be held accountable. The feeling is not something one can explain. I had a tough pregnancy, a    painless contractions until the doctors decided to change it for me by inducing me all in the name of wanting the labour to be fast. I saw pain in all it's embodiments. But all that is of no importance now. People say when you give birth, you forget about the pain of childbearing but i do not think it's true. You do not forget, i did not! Infact i remember it vividly and it always play back in my head and each time it does, i shiver. No one forgets, it just doesn't matter anymore.
It's been 8weeks since Baby Kay came into this world and i have been blessed being his mom! Our journey has just started! Stay tuned with us and please give us tips on how to make this work.
Being a mom is a job you learn on the go. I do not want to make avoidable mistakes.

Lots of Love,
Oma!

Life Has Taught Me

Happy Sunday my people! Hope we all attended service? How did it go?
You know those times when you feel like you can't seem to forgive those who have wronged you and when you finally do, you somehow always remember the wrong deed and you are enraged that you still remember, meaning you didn't forgive?
They say Forgive and Forget but when you do not forget, it means you apparently did not forgive.

But truth is, it's not in our place to "forget". We can't possibly "delete" or "erase" selective events from our memory. It's in God's place to make us forget and by forgetting, it means making us not feel the pain any more. He(God) takes away the bitterness you might feel so whenever you remember, you feel no pain or disgust.
It's just like someone you partnered with to execute a business deal, decides to double cross you. Now the bible says, forgive always. I say always because Jmesus said 7 times 70, which if you ask me, people can't possibly wrong you that much nau...you are not the only person in the world.
As i was saying, now you forgive this person, after sometime, this individual comes to you asking that you partner with him/her for another deal. Question is, in all honesty, won't you remember the last deal? in as much as you have forgiven the person?
Wishing you all a fruitful week ahead. For those going to their various working place and those at home, let us all make the most out of it, yea.

Lots of Love!
Oma.

Change in Plan

Hey Everyone,
   

How is the wet/cold sunday going? Hope it didn't stop you all from going to church to have a maximum worship with fellow brethren (i had to put that in bold because some of you will now start saying church is in "my heart"....excuseeeeeeee). Nothing compares to fellowshipping with the brethren, it boots faith, steadfastness, committment etc.

Talking about church, i usually plan what i wear to service during the week (not just church service though). This week was no exception. I already planned the dress, shoes, bag and hair. I had the perfect twist-out in mind (which didn't turn out as nice so i had to scarve it up). It was going to be a sweet-fun filled sunday worship in God's presence.....

Come this morning, when i woke up, i realised it was drizzling....i didn't mind nor was i deterred, i just went about my morning chores and dressed up for church feeling on top of the world. Stepping outside the door, the rain came down with a mighty force. Geez...it immediately dawned on me, my choice of outfit was not in sync with the cool weather, i didn't put the weather into consideration while "planning"..Ha....should i change clothes??? Nooooo waaaaayyyyyyy......Now my point is this....

I love PLANNING, i have the mindset that when you plan, even the most insignificant things, it goes well and interesting. Knowing that everything is going/went as planned is fulfilling. Am not saying being sponteneous isn't fulfilling or interesting, it is, so very well but i'll rather i plan, thank you. When it seems my plan is about to change, ooooppppssss, i so do not like the feeling at all.
So this rain was about to change my plan??? i object. I went to church all the same and guess what....the coolness of the ACs and fans decided to have a feast on me. Let's just say the funkiness of my plan didn't go as planned....
Next time i should just plan/change with the weather,yea??

P.S. Sorry, no pictures....the rain obviously was an obstacle.

How did your own sunday go????


Lots Of Love,
Oma!

NAMES

Hi there,

Its been quite sometime.....how are you all doing? Good, Great.....never been better? Which ever may be the case, God is Awesome. His name is Yaweh, I am that i am....

Talking about names, is it weird to have multiple names, say 4,5,6 names? I think its kinda cute and fun. What do y'all think??? I personaly would have loved having about 6 names from different tribe...heheheheheehe..am a true Nigerian.

The other day, myself and my friends were having a chat with my mum and she was telling us the story of how my name came to be "Ifeoma". 7days after my birth, it was the naming ceremony day as custom requires, prior to that day, my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmum had a fall out as to who/what my name should be. (like seriously???? why fight when you all can give me a nameeeee) After all the grahhhhhagrahhhhgrahhh, they settled with "Ifeoma" which my maternal grandfather chose....Yay..he won( am glad am bearing that name for a couple of reasons....
1. Its meaning! it means Goodthing
2. I didn't get the chance to know my grandfather...he died when i was just 2years old...so in a way, the name gives me a sense of belonging with him
3. I can coin different cute names from it....i have Ify, and my own bestest name ever...Oma!

Have you met any child with multiple names recently....you go hail....the name introduction goes thus

"my name is Nwabuaku, my mum calls me Akunna, my dad, Precious, my grandparents named me Ezinne, my favourite aunt calls me Folasade" whewwwww...oh boy....

These are names i would have loved to bear in different tribes

Ifeoma-Ukwuani/Igbo
Nwabuaku-Ukwuani/Igbo
Ivie-Bini
Darasimi-Yoruba
Alero-Itsekiri
Mena- Urhobo
Ebiegberi-Ijaw
Anietiee-Efik

So , do you have multiple names, Which do you like best and which other names would you have loved to bear?
share in the comment section.


Lots of Love,
Oma!

Another Reason To Be......

Hello People,

Happy New Month and Workers Day! I am sure a lot of us will be soooooo grateful for today being a Holiday. With this fuel ish causing traffic and tension, who wouldn't want to be at home chillaxing. How was your April???? Great? Superb? which ever, May is gonna be greater, Trust God. He has a way of caring for his own, and for that we should be grateful.

Talking about being Grateful, did you hear about the Nepal Earthquake that happened on the 25th of last month? Mehn.....that was some serious dealings....we can't begin to imagine. Over 6300+ lost their lives, 14000+ were injured, at least that's the ones accounted for, a lot more wasn't documented. Watching it on CNN, i couldn't help but wonder...... God is merciful sha..we don't get to worry about most of this natural disasters in this part of the world. How favoured are we???? And yet we have thousands of issues to complain about??? Bad Government, Boko Haram, Fuel wahala to name but a few.

Instead of channelling our energy into complaining and nagging, we could actually just praise God for all orther things he has made okay for us as a country and as an individual. Earthquakes arn't occurences you joke about with, and the painful thing is you can do little or nothing to prevent it. The continents prone to these natural disasters has other issues to deal with just like us. But you know what? These issues are Preventable unlike the natural ones which you can't prevent. So next time you catch yourself complaining, pause, think about Nepal, India, Bangladesh, China, and so many other countries prone to this disasters, then you will have...

Another Reason to Be GRATEFUL!!!
