It’s Mother’s Day!!!! (In the UK)

I loooooove my mum!

She is kind, she’s caring, she has been through a lot but brought us up with such love, safety and security that we haven’t a care in the world! She is wise and although I think I know best I usually end up agreeing with her. She is a go-getter and a hard worker and when she wants to do something she always gets it done and to the highest standard. She has her own sense of humor and is confident in herself. She is loving and she is beautiful, exceptional and adorable. She is a woman loved by God who loves God, she is phenomenal and sensational, she is my inspiration. When I grow up I want to be just like her. She is my mum and I love her!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

The African Way

Just come across this young lady’s post about growing up in an African household. I just had to share because it is SPOT ON and sooooo funny (to me anyway).

Growing up with two cultures means that you get the best of both worlds and it is truly something different. I often wonder how I will be able to provide the same experience for my kids but I know ultimately I won’t, theirs will be different.

So if they ever wonder what it was like for me growing up I will show them this post and if you’re wondering too, look no further.  There is so much more that could be added but this is a great glimpse: “Growing Up African” by Christiana Mbakwe.

Have you grown up with two cultures? or a different one to the one you live in? How have you found it?
