Happy New Year 2026 to you my family🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊😁🎊. Thank you for all the effort you put into nurturing your children last year. This year is an opportunity to depend on God for clarity of purpose and vision as we nurture our Masterpieces with love and respect in Jesus' name🥰. Amen

Dear Parents,
How are you feeling today?

This is the last day and week of this awesome year 2025 and we can make each passing second count by making the most of it. Feel free to call for help if needed. Cuddle your children more, randomly hug and reaffirm them and take wellbeing walks around your neighbourhood or in your garden (if you hqve one). 🥰

We visited Winter Wonderland in London over the weekend. We made the most of our time there despite the many meltdowns and transition challenges. I told the family I collaborated with that I am happy I made the effort to take my children to Winter Wonderland and went through what we experienced, rather than not attending due to fear of the unknown.

I am rooting for you. Keep staying strong 🎄🥳✅☃️. I wish you a Happy New Year 2026 in advance.

Good day, dear parents. On Sunday, the 21st, was my daughter's 7th birthday, and we took her on a trip to a local family farm. We made lots of memories in the mess. Last time we visited this farm, we went in fancy shoes; this time, we made sure to come with our wellies😜😃.
This was included in our festive plans so that everyone feels included.

The next day, we visited a SEN-friendly Holiday Activities and Food Club in a neighbouring town. It was very welcoming.
I recommend finding a SEN-friendly event near you or hosting one, so you don't feel left out as a family or feel trapped caring for your loved ones this Christmas.

Have a merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2026🎄🥳

Dear family,

Welcome to this month of December. I am grateful to everyone who supported me through this 30-day gratitude challenge last month. For me, it has become a way of life, thanks to God and for his grace for completion. Welcome to all the new members who joined us in the last month through the gratitude challenge.
This month is a very exciting one for my family and I because Jesus is the reason for the season. We make memories like our lives depend on them.

As part of my role as a parent, I make self-care a priority as much as possible.
On Tuesday, I attended a course on batch cooking, and on Wednesday (yesterday), I attended a parent-day-outing in the woods where we made wreaths and made our meals with firewood. Such activities help me fill my cup. 🥰😊

What helps you fill your cup?

I am happy to share the simple ways I connect with my children to boost conversation skills in kids, build resilience and nurture empathy in them.

Remember to love up on the child we have and not the one we wish we had.
I am rooting for you.

Today, I'm grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the blessings in my life and to share them with others.😇☺️🥳
It's been an amazing time of God's grace and goodness since the first day of this gratitude challenge till the last day of November 2025. I have experienced higher levels of God's faithfulness. I am grateful to God for the opportunity He gave me to this and how many who followed, liked and sent direct messages were inspired. I am confident that the impact of this challenge will bless more people who will read through after the challenge as much as it did during the challenge. 🙏🏽
Indeed, there is no throne without the Cross, no sacrifice without Your blood, all these God did for me, no me without you! 🎼🎶🎶🎶🥁🪘🪇

Gratitude Challenge Day 29:

Today, I'm grateful for the gift of salvation, and the hope and joy it brings to my life. 🙏🏽🎉

I believe that being a follower of Jesus Christ and having the Holy Spirit has helped me stay in the right headspace where I see my journey as a calling more than just a mere experience. I remember how God stirred up the passion to support charities that focus on equipping vulnerable individuals of various ages, races, abilities, disabilities, and faiths. Some of these projects including free eye health under organisations like Prohealth International, AM projects across different states in Nigeria, Special Olympics health screening in cross Rivers state, raising funds for St Joseph School for the blind in Obudu, Cross River State to help have a working bore hole instead of a well system for accessing clean water (however the management said they wanted a functional library instead🙄), raised funds for E-Enable in Cross River State and the list goes on. All these happened before my children were born. When the diagnoses hit me, I remember God telling me this was the answer to the prayer I prayed in my younger years till now, which was "If You can use anything Lord, You can use me! If you need someone to send to the nations, here I am, SEND ME"! This sole experience helped me settle into the process of my current season. Those experiences were used by God to prepare me for such a time as this. For this, I am very grateful. 🎉🙏🏽🎊☺️🥳❤️💃🏽💃🏽

Family bonding activities
1. Visit our local library. Joined the Christmas craft event for children

Gratitude Challenge Day 28:
November 28th

Today, I'm grateful for the rest and rejuvenation that comes from taking a break and prioritising self-care.
Earlier this year, I registered at our local gym. However, I couldn't keep up due to childcare matters and other commitments. I decided to change my plan. Made my home my gym location. The best part of my work is when I use the treadmill at a 20% incline. I feel rejuvenated, and my brain fog has reduced. I can even do my prayer walk and affirmation on it. The key part of my exercise routine is to break a sweat, drink more water, and breathe in more oxygen. I am grateful to God for life, good health and family. Oh! By the way, I had a hair pampering day today, and it was relaxing!

It is two more days to this edition of my gratitude challenge. Thank you for all your likes, shares and encouragement so far. I hope this inspires you in ways beyond words. 😊🥳🎊🎉

Bible Verse
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' - Matthew 11:28.

Family bonding activities
1. Family dinner
2. Movie night
3. Plan for the holiday and tomorrow's Christmas lighting event.

Gratitude challenge Day 27:
November 27th

Today, I'm grateful for the power of prayer, knowing that God hears and answers our prayers." ❤️🙏🏽

I have always wanted to build skills into my children, but being caught between the worlds of both children with different levels of understanding makes it tricky, especially when they learn at different paces and have different interests. On Tuesday, my son asked me to let him practise sewing his scout badges onto his cub uniform. We agreed to do it on Thursday (today). When we started, he said to me "Mum, there is a better way to do it without being scared of the needle pricking you!" when he showed me how he was taught in school. My people, yours truly was humbled. He went ahead and sew all 19 of his badges on by himself.🥳🥳🥳

My point is that when we pray for our children to do better than we, we should be ready to meet them in their world and allow them to express their abilities. Praise the effort instead of criticising the results. Praise the child's process and do not be frustrated about progress.

Bible Verse
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.' - Psalm 145:18.

Family bonding activities
1. Food exploration Thursday - would you like to know what we made today? 😄☺️
2. Needlework and sewing badges.
3. We had conversations around family values

Today, I'm grateful for the joy and laughter of my children, bringing light and happiness into my life." 😂😍🥰

Laughter is one of my family's favourite things to do. If my kids want my attention sometimes they come to me and request I tickle them. Laughter is a form of free therapy😜
