SHARING A SMILE AT CHRISTMAS



Today marked the 2017 Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day in the UK a charity that raises money to help protect the most vulnerable children around the world. They give them the opportunity to have a healthy start to life, education and protection from harm. I'm glad my children are aware of how hard life can be for some people, they know that not every child around the world has the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with lots of presents, wearing their best cloths and dinning with their loved ones on Christmas day. They wore their Christmas Jumper to school today with their donation for Save The Children UK and they understand the need to be charitable,to share love and kindness to others always especially during this festive season.

Last year's Christmas was very emotional for my daughter Kamdi. It was around the time she was having Catechism classes in preparation for First Holy Communion. They were asked to put a smile on a child's face by buying a present for a child in need, it made her feel really bad that those kids will not be enjoying all the treats, food and drinks just like she would be on Christmas Day but she was happy we could help in our own little way...a child we do not know would be smiling, we made our mark.

My Elf Life

I've managed to finish my "Elf Job" helping Santa deliver on time...phew! I struggled with the job though as i'm not good with wrapping presents but I did my best and had some useful hacks that helped me along the way. The shopping part of the job was not so easy, walking around the Malls, going from store to store comparing prices and options. Thanks to Argos UK and Marks and Spencer UK for making my shopping experience a bit easier, did some of it online and picked them up in store the next day, very helpful.

I hope you do something nice for someone this Christmas, not just your family, loved ones or colleagues at your work place. Be a light to a dark soul, make someone smile, make it a part of your life not just on Christmas Day. Cheers!

    Very nice post. Lovely kids learning the act of giving from their mum. You are a shining star to them. I try and do what I can for the Charity CRISIS. They rally homeless people on Christmas day, have a party for them. They have a bath, news cloths, Christmas presents, they see a doctor etc. I encourage anyone that can to support them do this work as well.

Banana Orange Cake.

This cake was made with love a product of 2020 lockdown. It's being a crazy year so far but I decided I'll stay positive, strong and productive as we wait to see what will come out of year 2020. I'm so happy to share this delicious orange flavour banana cake here. Let me know if you try this recipe, I'm sure you'll love it just like my family and I did x • In making this recipe you have to make sure everything you need is set and ready to go. • Minimal mixing is required to get a good result. • Try NOT to hip the flour in the measuring cup, scooping in the flour into the cup with a spoon and level out the top. • You can use any other oil you prefer but not flavoured oil as this will take away from the take and flavour of the cake after baking. RECIPE. 2+1/2 cups self raising flour.  1/4 cup cornflour.  1 tsp baking powder.  1 tsp baking soda.  1/4 tsp salt. 1 cup caster sugar.  4 very ripe bananas. 3 eggs. 1/2 cup melted butter + 1/2 cup sunflower oil 1 tsp vani...

WELCOME 2018! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hey! Happy New Year everyone, welcome to 2018 a special year of favour, blessings, grace, positive energy, happiness, love and great achievements. Did anyone make any New Year Resolutions? I personally did not make any resolutions per say because as a human being I struggle just like anyone else would so I just take everyday as it comes while praying for grace and strength to keep doing the right thing no matter how bad things might get especially with situations you have absolutely no control over, you leave it to fate. Life is all about what you make of it no matter how little. I try to appreciate the littlest things in life while hoping for the bigger things to fall into place. CONTENTMENT is key to a happy life trust me I know that for sure, it is without a doubt the best way to go through your daily life. Looking at other peoples lifestyle and trying to "Keep Up with The Joneses" when you honestly know that you cant afford that lifestyle will only push you into doin...
