Hello Mums... Welcome to another awesome Monday on the blog... We are in love with our expecting mums and so we would love to share some tips that would keep our mums  healthy throughout the waiting period.... Pregnancy is a 9 months journey and you sure want to keep healthy on this trip and even after wards. Having a baby is something most of us women-and even men look forward to. This period requires extra care of yourself as what you do or do not do will most times not affect just you but your unborn baby as well. Having being on this trip thrice, here are some thoughts I will like to share… 1.       Early Visit to your health care provider: This is important as an early check up can prevent an unwanted unforeseen circumstance if there is any. An early detection of abnormal location of the foetus can be handled with less complication. An early scan, the radiologist will say, gives a more accurate Expected delivery date (EDD) than the later sca...

Hello everyone.. We can not deny the fuss these days about getting married.. I have only been married for a little over a year but long enough to know that there are keys that unlock healthy relationships which eventually leads to a healthy marriage.  Getting married is one of the biggest decision you would ever make and so you might have to really choose wisely... Some people base their relationships on lies and deceits  and I keep wondering what good would ever come out of such relationships... You must remember that you are completely entrusting your entire life to this one person.. You must take your time ! You hear some couples say they wish they had waited a little longer.. A much older aunt of mine once said these words to me... and only recently upon joining an amazing book club..I read a book by Mike Mudrock on recognizing the spouse meant for you and it was an eye opener! Just before you take that huge step ...let's discus...

Hey Loves .. I'll be blogging on Moneytrimony! If there was ever a word like that.... lol I once had a chat with a man who told me how much he honored his wife of  over 5 years.. I kept asking why he did and he said.. '' She would always hand over her  finance to  me at the end of the month after taking out her tithe...She is so Loyal! '' Sounds pretty cool to me but what happens when you married to a man who has no regards for your loyalty? I've heard ladies say regarding their husband.... '' Hand over my finance ke? So he will spend it on other ladies? '' I'll rather save the money for my kids...'' Yeah! Now we can as well refer back to the ripple effect of not raising sound-minded kids! Else why would a sound-minded man repay a woman's loyalty with distrust?  Managing your finances as a couple is paramount to a healthy marriage as this is a major cause of rifts in most homes. Money can ruin your marriage if not...

´ Everyday I log on to surf the web and come across creepy headlines about marriages that had turned sour.... I can't help but wonder why and this got me thinking.... Wait a minute! These people were once in love..so deep that they considered a lifetime together..So the question is what went wrong? The clothes..the vendors...the crowd-filled rooms ... guests calling in per sec.... It's a major fuss these days about getting married. The days of  preparation for the D- day is always filled with laughter and loads of happiness...irrespective of the challenges some couples face as they look forward to tying the knot, the butterfly feeling never really disperses.  We all look forward to the wedding but are never really prepared and equipped for the journey ahead.  After the lovely music serenade, dance, colorful clothing and awesome gifts...then the silence creeps in.. Everyone goes back home and you left with HIM''. Then he starts to hit you.... The black e...
