Wish List: Birthday Edition

It's my birthday in two days…Yay! Having said that, if not for people reminding me of this fact and asking what I'm doing to celebrate, or enquiring about what I want for my birthday, I probably would have forgotten. I just didn't feel like planning anything. Having said that, one of my friends kindly reminded… Continue reading Wish List: Birthday Edition

Pool Party Pandemonium

Just over a week ago (week ago…) my brother and his friends flew in to have a pool party at my parents’ house. And yes, it certainly was as indulgent as it sounds.

Typically at Nigerian weddings, the… Continue reading Wake-Up Call

Then I could look back on them in years to come, share with family and friends like “oh yeah!… Continue reading A Bolt From The Blue

Forever Friends

I miss my friend. Don’t worry, she isn’t jamming with Jesus, she’s still with us mere mortals (although more often than not I wholeheartedly believe that she is superhuman - there’s nothing she can’t do!) And despite the fact that we communicate practically every day, I just miss her that’s all. She lives 300 miles… Continue reading Forever Friends

6 Word Story: Caution

So I'm feeling in a really minimalist mood at the moment hence the sparse nature of this post/story. I'm being very economical with my words: spoken and written and also with my time. The photos below were taken in front of my parents house in Nigeria, aka The White House (for obvious reasons), back in… Continue reading 6 Word Story: Caution
