Raise your hand if you are a boss mom. Who is a boss mom? A boss mom is a woman who loves herself, takes care of a her family, wakes up at odd hours to get stuff done, doesn’t care what others think of her, has talents and gifts, has goals and crushes them repeatedly, doesn’t compare herself with others, loves life and loves people for who they are. . . I’m sure I have left out a few things so pls describe your boss mom mantra below !!!!! . . . . . . #bossmom #bossmomlife #happymom #happymoments #motherhoodunplugged #blackmomsbelike #lagosmom #nigerianmum #mommyblogger

The Modern Woman speaks her truth. She’s full of grace and strength. She knows who she is. She’s a woman and a person before she’s a wife or a mom. She’s a modern woman who is becoming. . . . . What are you becoming? I’m elated about the next event because we get to re-explore ourselves as women. Pursue our interests, meet our goals, stay productive and provide impact. . .

This MAMA is becoming! She’s more than a mother because before her bundle of joy made her a mom for the first, second or third time, she was and is a person. She has interests. She has gifts and talents. She has goals and dreams. Who is she becoming? . . . Motherhood changed me 100% physically, emotionally and psychologically. I used to cry about everything. I used to be able to smile without my right cheek shutting my right eye (effects of Bell’s palsy). I used to have many things I don’t have anymore but I got something better in return. . . I got a fresh perspective on life. Motherhood made me realize vanity is vanity. I understood what it really means to live. I speak up more. I slap timidity in the face. I love harder than ever before. . . This motherhood thing is a catch 22 but I would do it again and again because I am becoming! What are you becoming that you are proud of? . . . #happymom #strongmother #empoweredwoman #modernwoman #happyday #mystory

Like the way I screwed up this upside down pear cake. It actually turned into a crustless pear pie. My daughter looked at it like... hell naaaaa I’m not eating that. She then reaches for the fridge and calls for “bread, bread”. Na you sabi 😂 I’m eating her piece and mine and it tastes so good. It just looks weird. That’s all. . . Mamas, ever laughed at or harped on your mess ups? On a more serious note, if you think you have fumbled recently, (upset a friend, dissolved a close relationship, didn’t make it on time for school pick - whatever the case may be) please pick up the pieces and move on. The more thoughts and energy you put into it, the more life you give it, which in turn brings you down. We give life to what we choose to! 🤗 happy Sunday ❤️ . . . . #momsbestfriend #messup #momsbelike #girlmom #momlife #blackmomsbelike #beyondmotherhood

Mamas, In today’s insta-stories, we’re talking about hair care productivity. I have always loved taking care of my hair way before baby came along but hair care postpartum went down the drain. Breakage, dryness, toughness, brittleness, name it. Well, it took some revamping and cutting to get back into the swing of things. In order to keep my productivity at a consistent level, my hair always has to be taken care of. Fast forward to today, I don’t skip my deep conditioning and moisturizing. It’s gotta happen every 2 weeks or else it starts to break. Literally. . . Has your hair are regimen gotten in the way of your productivity at home as a mom or as a woman in general? Tell me 😊 . . . . #haircareregimen #motherhoodmadesimple #babymama #ilovemyhair #blackhair #bighairdontcare

On my 14th birthday, 2 months after losing my mom, I got a gift from a family friend. The gift was a bottle of du parfum Coco Chanel Mademoiselle. It was a gift I wish I got from my mother because she had a knack for selecting great fragrances. As a 14 year old, I’m like hmm, I guess I’m a big girl now. I mean I can wear perfume to school and not just rely on the standard mediocre roll-ons. I went on a summer vacation that same year and got another bottle from duty-free and never turned back. I believe when I turn 80, I’d still be wearing Coco Chanel Mademoiselle; that’s how much I love it. I have gotten comments like, well, we know Wande is in the room, we can smell her from the door 😂... . . . But get this, I have always wondered how my daughter recognizes my scent. Is it the natural scent from my sweaty yoga pants or then breastfeeding clothes? But I then learned that baby’s love affair with their mother’s scent starts in the womb. They are exposed to the odor of the amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Interesting, right? . . . Your breast milk, your natural skin scent all make your babies feel secure and calm. And, as they mature, I think it’s safe to say your regular perfumes take over. . . . What would you say Is your favorite body spray or perfume? Maybe cologne (some women prefer those too). . . #perfume #perfumecollection #mothersscent #fragrance #bodyspray #breastfeeding #mothersmilk #lovesndgracegirls #cologne
