I harvested a hand full of waterleaf from my balcony garden and I feel so happy. I also cleaned my garden after that and transferred some green pepper I nursed. The waterleaf I harvest will be sliced and used to garnish my soups and the little tomato I harvested 🍅 I will munch raw. 😋

Gardening makes me feel good. This is surely a hobby to have this small garden but I love the produce I get.

                              

Cameroon is the most blessed African country when it comes to food variety. Some are more costly than others to cook. Today I'm sharing with you the twelve cheapest Cameroonian meals. But don't think that they are not delicious because I said they don't cost much. These are finger-licking good meals and most of their recipes are on this blog so you can try them. 

That's the list of cheap and delicious Cameroonian meals. if there are other meals like this that you know please share them in the comment section.

Thanks for reading my blog. I'll see you in my next one.

I've been updating my social media pages and reviewing my "about me page" on the blog lately. I realized that every time I write a new bio I feel trapped in it because of my desire to niche down so much. Knowing that I am a human being who has many interests and wants to share various experiences, I decided to stick to being a lifestyle blogger who can talk about anything and everything for information and entertainment.

Read my about me page here.

Many little nice and fun things have been happening and I'll just share the photos with you.

Lastly, we hosted a "Njangi" meeting in our new home for the first time. It was exciting despite the workload. Hosting is not easy. I'm glad I had people to help me as I would have had a hard time doing that while caring for the kids. 

That has how life has been lately for me. I hope life is treating you well too. Please share with me your experiences lately. 

I hope you guys are doing well and staying safe from the pandemic.

As you guys already know we moved to a new house and now that we have our new space I did a little shopping which was for toiletries. It just felt right to get us some new stuff to make our bodies and our new bathrooms smell good. 

The special items among what I got were the toothbrush and toothpaste for kids of 0-2 years for my daughter. I'm glad that I found that because I was looking for a soft toothbrush for her and a toothpaste suitable for her age. Thank God I found it.

Another good news is I started working in my home office. It feels good to have my own working space. I just have a table and my desktop in it. I hope to get more equipment for it with time.

The most exciting thing that has happened to me this week is my being a guest on Channel Africa (SABC).

The program I was on is called "Live Well" and the host is Palesa Tau and we talked about childbirth.

Those are my updates guys. Hope your week is going well. 

Receive warm greetings from my family in our new home. 

Yes, we moved out of our studio to a two-bedroom apartment and I am so excited about this. I'm also so grateful to God for providing this blessing to us. 

Need I mention that moving is not easy? OMG it's so stressful. But thank God we did it with some help.

- proximity to the road

- the houses (are they beautiful houses there?)

- the proximity of the neighbours (for less noise)

- proximity to work and commercial centres

- our budget

Most of all we wanted a house that was newly constructed that way we can avoid a lot of repairs and maintenance problems.

It's not easy to find all the things you seek but we are blessed to have a place that ticks most of these points to an extent. So we can't really complain.

We mostly changed houses because of the need for bigger space. I needed more space for my business goods and tools and even working space. It's true I am making plans to sell most of them in these coming weeks because it has almost filled the kids.

We have more space now. The rooms are bigger and the wardrobes too. We are still to equip the house so most of the rooms are still empty. We put the bed we used to use in the kid's room because we intend to buy another bed for the main bedroom. Also, we will get a bunk bed for the kids and equip the living room too.

This is going to be quite a journey for us and I'm looking forward to all the excitement that comes with buying new things.

That's the news I wanted to share with you.

I was shocked when I discovered that my period was back. I knew it was going to come anytime but I was still surprised to see it. I remember feeling wet that morning but it didn't cross my mind that I could be bleeding. So I went about my morning duties until when I wanted to pee that I discovered it. 

As I said, I was shocked, but I was happy because I have been sexually active without being on any contraceptives. 

This is because the medical personnel I saw for family planning asked me to wait at least six weeks before taking any contraceptive. He said at the time that the baby may be still too fragile for contraceptives, especially hormonal contraceptives and said I should wait at least six weeks before being on contraceptives. He asked me to come back the first week of June. I didn't go to the rendezvous because I felt like waiting longer and going at six months postpartum.  

Not having my period left me scared of getting pregnant so I was lowkey happy with my period coming back. It will enable me to know my safe and unsafe days.

With my first child, my menstruation returned at six months postpartum, and this time it's five. It was quite painful this time. 

I still intend to go for family planning at six months postpartum to put my mind at rest.

That's my experience and I hope it is helpful information to you in seeking direction on contraceptives after having a baby.
