jollof rice+fried plantain+peppered beef+moimoi

So after seeing this picture of this combo on @9jasoulfood my lips watered and I had to make this .

I did and I must admit y plate was clean at the end.
It's interesting when u just don't have one type of food in the plate. Variety makes it interesting. The important thing to remember is portion control.
 So guys, enjoy! Follow her for food ideas

A new introduction

 It's still the diary of a naija mom and it's only fair I give that part too. I do both bespoke and ready to wear. All ready to wear pieces are available for order. Just leave a comment or send and email and I will get back to you.

 Ending the post with this effortless maxi dress worn with or without the sash. Its chiffon. You can dress it up or down as u please. Mutiple prints are available.

So stay tuned. Have a lovely day folks.

RAISING KIDS 2

 Another very important lesson I've learnt as a parent is "never make it a habit to limit your English words when speaking to kids" because they're smarter and catch on faster than you think.

 Example; you're having a conversation with your kid about someone being "dizzy" You can use it in the sentence and then explain what it means (they will always ask you for explanation of a new word once they hear it).

 If you ask lily my 4 year old the meaning of dizzy she will tell you it means you're turning around because she knows it's a term you also use after turning around.

You will find that if you use it once or twice they will catch on where to use the word and then you won't have to keep explaining that word every time you're suppose to use it. Remember that these kids are smarter than we give them credit for.

Have a lovely day! :)
