Hi, I'm Carol - a working mum of two and a proud ambassador of #TeamMarriage. It's about to get real up in here so let's get talking on how we can better raise our kids!
When breastfeeding hurts…
Breastfeeding is a natural process that doesn't come naturally for all. If anything, it's a learning curve for both you and baby - at least in my case it was. Having had a C-section, I didn't hold my baby (both occasions) until at least 6 hours after birth. With my daughter, it was tough for both …
Embracing sleep deprivation
What is sleep?! I only dream of it - the good ol' days when I would sleep for hours on end, wake up and still want to sleep some more. Lol! My son Xander, is now 2 months (ululations!) but I have to say, I cannot wait for him to sleep through the night. Even …
We made it
It’s real! It’s raw! It’s truth!
First post of the year. I feel truly blessed to be alive to see another year come to be. I am not one for making New year resolutions because if anything 2016 taught me , it is that resolving to get through each day is enough. After all tomorrow is not promised, we only have today .
So ,it is 11.12 pm , the house is quiet save for the music i am listening to as i write. Hubby and Taji are asleep . It feels good to have a few minutes to myself. Our baby is now a 14 month old toddler, she has boundless energy . This week she decided to fully start walking. It feels surreal. In my eyes she is a walking,breathing miracle. My heart explodes with joy at-least 20 times a day as I reflect on just how much she has grown. I still have…

Happy New Year!
I know we're 10 days into the new year, but you always have to say 'Happy New Year' whenever you meet someone that you haven't seen since the festive season. So "Happy New Year friends!" 😀 I'm excited about 2017 because i) I have vowed to be more consistent in blogging (so help me God!) ii) …
Her first movie experience
My husband and I are movie buffs. Most of our date nights include going to the movies. But Zara (our 3-year old daughter) has never been to a movie theatre. We've always said we'll take her when she turns 5 since she has a short attention span - trust me, we've seen it when we …
Say hello to my littu friend
10th November 2016. 9:16am. Weighing in at 3.7kg, our heavyweight champ arrived. First look at him and I was like 'Woah! He has chubby cheeks!' No wonder I was feeling heavy all through my pregnancy. This boy wasn't messing around when he got me craving all sorts of food 😀 It's been one month and …
Raising a girl with natural hair
My daughter's hair has been the centre of attention this week, following new photos that I posted on my Facebook profile. Here I am thinking how people would 'ooh' and 'aah' at my beautiful bump pictures. Yet they chose to 'ooh' and 'aah' at her hair! No, I'm not being jealous *folds hands and walks …
Differences between my 1st and 2nd pregnancy
My sincere apologies. It's been months since I blogged. To be honest, I haven't had the energy/psyche to document my thoughts. That explains the title of this post 😀 You could take this as an announcement - yes, I'm going to be a mother of two. It's exciting isn't it?! Let me get straight to …

It’s getting hot in here!
Nairobi weather has become unbearable lately! The heat is, in my opinion, the worst we've ever experienced. Nairobians call it the 'equinox'. It's so bad that I'd rather stay indoors than go out. If I have to be out, I'd rather be swimming than baking in the dry heat. Here are a few tips for …
