  • Étiquettes tu colleras:)

    Ca y’est c’est the big rentrée 😄🥳, comme d’habitude les parents sont super contents, enfin la fin du boucan in za casa..

    One of my daughter’s fav’ tradition is “colling” les etiquettes sur ses effets la veille.. donc moi j’écris son nom et elle ..elle colle:) She always looks forward to that scolaire tradition of ours… and I do too😊

    C’est le big CM2 InshAllah can’t believe we are already here.. bon on va relativiser already here 😅… il y’a encore du chemin .. mais Alhamdoulilah c’est déjà pas mal ce que l’on a parcouru déjà..

    i asked her what 3 words she wants to focus on this year and among the 3 she chose patiente.. and I said yes , last year she had a bit of a hard time navigating little girls friendships😅… the “ you are my best friend “.. “no she stole her from me “ ect ect … we had to learn to try to navigate those situations..so we’ll see this year..

    Anywhoo très belle rentrée à tous & toutes!

    Until next time, take good care of yourselves:)

  • Soft life this and that..

    Whenever you go to the doctor or you read anything wellness related.. the message is always the same : “try to live a stress free life.. “

    Now how do you go about that 😅..life in its nature is just stressful , the uncertainty, the various problems that can occur ;health,love, spiritual challenges, finance ..I can go on an on..

    The older I’m getting, life humbles me.You realize that you cannot solve everything and you are not even supposed to.. The advice I’ll give my daughter if she asks me one day ( even if she does not who I am kidding💁🏾‍♀️😄) would be simply do your best and do not be too hard on yourself.. it won’t solve anything but just add on the stress of it all..

    It’s ok if things take time to be fixed and some things will just never be fixed and that…. is ok as well.

    Those lil’ silly moments of joy are important, they make you feel human.

    So yeah that whole “soft life “ concept might seem idealistic but incorporating a lil bit of it when we can is not so bad..:)

    Until next time, take good care of yourselves:)

  • So About that Barbie Movie..

    Ah by the way , we now have several movie theaters options..ten years ago there were not that many but since then you have: http://www.pathe.sn among several other movie theaters.

    My daughter really wanted to go see the Barbie movie which kinda surprised me because her” playing with Barbie “phase didn’t last that long…

    But anywhoo we went, there were a group of young ladies all in their pink drip😄.. I guess all the way to Dakar, the pink dress code was respected. They reminded me of my College days, going to the movies with my girls.. it was always exciting and fun.

    Next to us, was a young Senegalese father on dad’s girls duties, he was buzy between the several bathroom breaks and the little girl chit chat.. come on Ken you got this 🦸🏾‍♂️😅..

    It was a cute movie with its obvious message of women empowerment. I’m glad they incorporated characters of different origins. It was particularly nice seeing Issa Rae ( 🇸🇳Represent)

    Definitely a cute outing with the lil’ one, glad we got to create a new memory together:)

    Until next time, take good care of yourselves:)
