IN HOUSE MEMO

How is everyone doing......

So we had a test done and my hubby and I both have COVID 19 but thank God the Bambinos are OK and staying away from us.. We live in a big house so everyone is scattered and the Bambinos are running around with face masks and gloves to attend to us......

Anyone that ever said this COVID is not real eh, may Amadioha strike the hand or mouth you use to relay that info.......

I am here stuck n my room, the TV is off cos i dont feel like watching, my phones are by the side cos i dont feel like using them....Not eaten in days, I am not hungry, only been taking fluids.

May i and my sweet hubby get well soon in Jesus name........

Enjoy your day and use a mask in crowded places...... The warning for covid infection is down so the risk of catching it is more... They call it typhoid and Malaria in Nigeria, we call it COVID 19 abroad.... go figure.

NSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD




When i was growing up, my mom always bought oversized clothes, I mean several sizes too big. My shoes usually needed tissue paper stuffed in to be worn comfortably. It continued till I became a teenager.

I once had a jeans gown that was bought when I was in my first year of secondary school and it wasn’t my perfect size till my first year in university.

I hated it and vowed to always buy fitted clothes for my kids. So when I became pregnant with my first and I went shopping, I bought mainly the small and cute baby outfits against my mom’s advice.

Not only did my son come out big, he had almost tripled his birth weight by the time he was three months old, so he had outgrown almost all of his clothes.

He didn’t even get to wear the new born clothes I bought because they were too small.

Since then I buy a size or two bigger for my kids, not as extreme as my mom but big enough to give room for growth.







I suffered same thing, had to give out most of my baby clothes cos tey were waaaay to small.....some of the materials become smaller after washing, especially if you use a washing machine....

I also reverted to buying bigger clothes but not as big as what your mum bought...

PINKYS CORNER

Marriage As An Institution

Everything has an expiry date..... 

Every marriage has its own ups and down but a good home and a better marriage only has an expiry day which is (death do them part) but any home which is not built on love and heart filled with pure system will always have an expiry date.


As a man, you need to take away your EGO and put at the back of your mind that your wife is a partner and an help mate and not a slave. One funny thing is, my wife is always online here, reading whatever is being posted by Stella and immediately she comes home, she is always giving me a hug and a passionate kiss as an appreciation. Why? because, I do what I preach.


Aside from some common mistakes made by men in marriage, we all should know that, in order to have peace, we all need to let go of our ego and take our wife as our blood sisters. We should show them love and always appreciate them as at when due. The following are things we should all avoid, if we want peace:
*Don't compare your wife with your ex or your neighbor's wife vice versa.
*keep your marital life away from your friends.
*Treat your wife as your blood and let go of your ego.(men in particular).
*Appreciate your wife and always complement her,no matter how small vice versa.
*Set a boundary between you-wife and your family (if you know you know).
*Don't forget that her weak point is your strength and yours is her strength (which means, be sincere and straight forward).
*Be a good listener because women can frustrate you with repeated words even at mid-night.
*share house chores if necessary in order to ease her of the stress.

Don't forget that, what works for A won't work for B but all other things been equal, always follow your own pattern and give your wife the due respect because women are tend to be submissive to the last if they are truly loved and cherished.




You just hit the nail on the head by saying we should treat our spouses like our siblings but it is the most difficult for some to do and some once they get to this road, they cut of romantic entanglement and this makes it worse....

Marriage is not all about Romance forever...

OPINION NEEDED URGENTLY

Good day ma’am. I’m a huge fan of your blog, I’ve learnt a lot from here.

Thank you for your good work.
I need your opinion and that of the blog visitors.

I’m planning to go for my masters degree next year, preferably in Canada. I did my research and I know tuition is not cheap along side other daily expenses. I spoke to some friends and they gave me the contact of some good agencies to help ease the process. 

I looked them up and they seem legit enough. One of them has a branch in Ontario, Canada and another one in Lagos. I’ve been talking to them and making enquiries about the processes involved, I also asked if I’d be eligible for any scholarship and they told me the schools they apply to offer scholarships. They guarantee that I’d get it.

I spoke to my big cousin about my plans since she’s also been pushing for me to go for the masters but then she told me that getting a Canadian scholarship is not as easy as anybody says it is. She says I’ll still pay a few thousand Canadian dollars which will include the tuition fees and they will only give me the scholarship if my first semester result is really good. She said this applies to both the partial and fully funded scholarship. She suggested applying to some other European countries that offer free tuition so with that I can only bother about other daily expenses.

Now my question is, do I listen to her advice and forget about the Canadian ambition since I can’t afford the tuition on my own or do I still go ahead with the agency.

The agency guarantees that I’ll get the admission and scholarship however after what my cousin said I’m skeptical about moving forward with them.
The agency says that application, visa processing and every other thing involved will amount to 1.3million naira or thereabouts.

 I hate to think that I might pay this amount of money and still not succeed. Please I need your advice, opinion and any other thing that might be helpful.

 I’d really appreciate everybody’s input.







I dont know anything about Scholarships but i do know that in Germany tuition is free for foreigners.... You only pay some small amount of about 3 euros every session......
