Life Lately: New Focus, Slowing Down, Baking More, and Counting My Blessings

Hi guys,

Hope you’re doing well.

It’s been a while since I did a life update post, so here we are. How’s life been with you? Hope good.

There’s been a few changes lately — from my focus in blogging to getting back to posting on YouTube!

Blogging with a New Focus


Lately, I’ve been shifting my blogging a little. I’m focusing more on personal growth, daily living, and finding joy in the simple moments. I want this space to feel cozy, like chatting with a friend about life, dreams, lessons, and the little things that make every day special. See my updated About page.

Back to YouTube


I'm also back to posting on YouTube! I really missed vlogging—sharing behind-the-scenes of my days, the lessons I'm learning, and the journey of chasing dreams while staying grounded. It's a little scary starting again, but I’m excited and taking it one step at a time. Visit my YouTube channel, and please subscribe

My New Hobby: Baking


One of the new things bringing me a lot of joy lately is baking! 🍰 I’ve really been enjoying it — not just the final result but the whole process. Measuring the ingredients, mixing, watching the dough rise... It’s been so calming and satisfying. It’s like a form of therapy after busy days. I’ll be doing a separate post soon to talk all about my baking journey and share how it’s going so far, so stay tuned for that! But you can see a sneak peek of how it's going on my YouTube channel.

Practicing Slow Living


Even though I’m very ambitious and have big dreams, I’m also learning not to get caught up in hustle culture. I’m practicing slow living more, taking things one day at a time and allowing myself to enjoy the journey without rushing. That’s where hobbies like baking and caring for my plants come in. They give me so much joy and remind me that slow growth is still beautiful. Watching my plants grow — sometimes very slowly — always reminds me that good things take time, and that's okay.

Surviving the Academic Year


Another thing I’m so grateful for is making it through this academic year as a mom! 🎉 It wasn’t always easy — the school runs, homework, early mornings, and everything in between — but by God’s grace, we made it through. I’m so thankful for His help, strength, and provision every step of the way.

That’s a little life update from me lately. Thank you so much for being here and reading. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I can't wait to share more — whether it's through blog posts, videos, or just little updates like this.

Sending you lots of love,

Ngumabi
