Landmark Beach Review in Lagos || Places to take your kids to in Lagos

February 28, 2020





I've been to landmark beach 2 times and I think (not been to all the available beaches in Lagos) it's the most kids friendly in terms of them swimming inside the water more so because it is clean! ⠀
__ ⠀
The first time I went they had a children's day activity and everywhere was clean the children had fun, played and I knew I found somewhere we can be sneaking to on extra hard homeschooling days.. We paid 3k for that event I think, it wasn't a bad price for the value. I was comfortable to let my son, really play in the water. ⠀
__⠀
The next time we went it wasn't any special event and that was when I was hit with the real price. Lol. Although that day it wasn't as clean (see 3rd slide) as the first time we went the water was still clear and the place still had my heart. This second time, I went with a friend on a weekday and we were told we had to also pay to rent a seat and the beach was practically empty with plenty of empty seats available. I couldn't cry, dazz, when I knew that what I hoped will be a regular trip, cannot enter our budget. Lol⠀

They have a lot of side attraction, games to play, swing etc.

__

What I love about the place: ⠀
- Clearwater⠀
- Not so heavy tides ⠀
- Clean beach ⠀
- Children's play area ⠀
- Space for the kids to run around. ⠀

__

What I didn't like; ⠀
- I had to pay for a seat when there was practically no one else at the beach.⠀
⠀

What we spent; ⠀
2k/person adult ⠀
1k/child 5-12 Years
2k/seat We spent about 6k/7k ⠀

Update: Check out their pricing, some of it has changed since the pandemic

⠀
I would recommend the place absolutely for a fun family-friendly outing. I really wish there was a weekday less-traffic days package for some of us that are just going there for our children. ⠀
__⠀

Our verdict: 4.5/5 cuddly loves!⠀

Homeschool Jan 2020: What were we up to? || Homeschooling in Nigeria

February 12, 2020
Yay! 
Welcome to our Homeschooling update. When we started this year, I knew we couldn't give weekly update like last year because I didn't anticipate how much the holiday will affect our routine, It's still February and we have still not recovered but we are getting there slowly but surely. 

I made a whole spreadsheet for the year in order to keep me accountable and so far we have followed it, I am actually happy about it, although we have seriously cut back on the number of activities we do during the day and there's been no pressure at all. 

At the end of 2019, I walked the people in the homeschooling group on the basics of homeschooling and it got me thinking again about my philosophy on education what path we wanted to choose as a family and I think I finally decided on one. I think. Lol (You'd see it at the end)

I took lessons from choosing a path , 2019 homeschooling journey and used it while I was working on our plan this year and it made me make better decisions, focus on what was important and not fuss over what I thought it should look like in my mind. I shared in an insta live session on how I planned for the year and posted on Youtube 

Themes we explored in January:
  • All about me
  • Home
  • Personal Health 
  • Family

We had a great time and also squeezed in about 3 outings (Freedom Park, Nike art Gallery & Laterna Bookstore)
See Our Image gallery for January below (If you want me to share the exact things we did let me know) ;

So, I realised I am leaning more towards, unschooling and unit study educational philosophy, Let's see how that plays out.
What does your homeschool look like in 2020?
