Gratitude February – Day 7
Today I’m thankful again for Family… My in-laws! For my mom in-law who has showered us with love and prayers, and supported me through some difficult times. For my siblings-in-law who have shown me the same respect they accord their brother. And for my husband’s extended family, some I’ve met,…

Family banter and WhatsApp groups
After several years without a family WhatsApp group, atypical of a Nigerian family with access to the app, my sister decided last week that it would be a great idea to have us all in one e-space. She must have been bored the day she got that epiphany, this sister…

Travel with me – Ottawa
Winter has got me reminiscing about warmer days and the understated luxury of T-shirt weather. What better way to beat the winter blues than a trip down memory lane, to sunnier times? My family took a trip to Ottawa in the summer of 2021, our first time there. The city…

Everyday Living and Inspiring
Lately, I’ve been curious about careers in tech, and it’s such a pleasure to have this tech mama share her everyday living and inspire us. Ngusurun Hanior is a wife, mama of 2 amazing boys, a beautiful singer with a heartwarming smile, and a great cook (you need to taste her jollof rice!) Let’s…
