One of the important aspects of raising godly children is prayer.

Most of our children cannot go past "Thank God for Mummy & Daddy" in prayer and while it is a good start we have to continue to teach them HOW to pray.

Here's a simple way to do that;

1. Model prayer to them: Don't do a child's version prayer when you are praying for them during bedtime because you want it to be simple and I am not saying be speaking in tongues but model conversations with God, talking to God and not just "Thank you for Daddy and Mummy" they will do as they see. 
2. Teach the Lord's prayer: When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, the Lords prayer was his response. Your 2 year old can repeat after you as long as they can tell you to "leave me alone" they can say God's word or say a prayer. This is the model of prayer and we have to let them know. 
3. Let them pray: Let it be part of their morning and evening routine to pray, give them the room to pray and don't always say the prayer for them, let them learn and refuse the urge to 'correct' anything, as you continue to model how to pray they will continue to learn. 
4. Give room to listen to God: This wasn't part of my list but the holy spirit dropped this in my spirit right now and I have to start doing this. One of my own major problems is actually settling down to listen to God's heart, how about if I start incorporating it for my child to let him understand that prayer is a 2 way communication. Of course for younger children you can't expect much but just model it and watch how they understand the concept as they grow older. Have some silence after talking to God to listen to what he has to say, older kids can write down what they hear from God too. 
5. Be consistent and let God lead you: Consistency is key, you cannot pray today and not pray tomorrow, habits are formed by consistency, remember we are laying the foundation for the future of our children. Let God lead in every thing.

As a Christian family, one of your values will be to transfer the knowledge of Jesus to your children. They need to know God's word to be able to achieve that and I say that any child that can tell me "leave me alone" can recite the Bible.

I started teaching simple Bible verses to my son at bedtime, one every 2 weeks or 3 (no pressure) the goal is not for them to just know how to recite but it's for them to have the word hid in their hearts and as they grow older and curiosity spikes we can then educate them about God, his word, his son and everything inbetween.

I have carefully selected 30 simple Bible verses that you can recite with your children, at bedtime, in the car, on the road, in the shower, while taking a work, literally anytime! So simple that my almost 3 years old now knows some bible verses and can complete them when we start reciting.

Remember, the goal is not to do quiz for them to see if they 'get' it. The goal is to keep putting the word before them and KNOW that as they grow older they have God's word hid in their hearts. Some days they would be interested and other days they won't, don't sweat it! Being *Insert your childs age* is fine!

Hello Mamas,

How is 2020 treating you?



Over here, we have settled into the first week of homeschooling and as I was waiting for my housekeeper and preparing for her return, I decided to put together in a PDF how I stay organised as a Nigerian mum and what helps my home run smoothly.

In this pdf you'd find sample grocery list, cleaning schedule for your home, sample market list, sample food time table for your toddler and other home resources and a bonus of places to visit in Lagos and Abuja

I really wanted to make the process simple, so if you want it you can just download it via this link here. It is N1,999

Kindly let me know what other resources you think I can develop for you.

Thank you and I really hope that this resource helps you stay organised!

Hello Beautiful People!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!


How are you guys doing? At the beginning of last year, I wrote my blog goals in order to be accountable to you all and I am here to do a review of those goals and see how we did.

Last year on the blog our all time visits came to 50,000+ views and our 5 most visited blog posts were;

• Homeschooling Feelings Theme 
• Homeschooling Independence Theme
• Why I decided to Homeschool
• Why we should take our children's privacy seriously
• How to feel zero shame as a stay at home mum

As the blog continues to grow, I am just so excited at the amount of amazing women I have met in the course of the year! Just because of this blog, I don't take it for granted in anyway.


Here were my goals and how we did in 2019;

Merry Christmas!!!! We wish you a wonderful Christmas. This Christmas holiday was a wonderful one, this is the first Christmas where my son was aware and we did a number of activities this year.

We went to

• Landmark Beach 
• Zoo
• Park
• Nike Art Gallery
• Baking

I heard about the mindscape museum from the founder of Key Academy and I was so glad we found the place. We've been there twice since we found the place and I am just here to pay it forward by telling you all about this amazing space in the heart of Lekki phase 1!
