I'm back!---eerm, maybe not

 *Picks up a brush* *Mutters under breath- Away with you, cobwebs and dust!

A fitting task to mark the end of a 5-year hiatus. Yup! My last entry on this blog was published on October 12, 2019.

I was shocked myself.



To be honest, I knew I had been away for a long time—I just didn’t realize exactly how long.
A lot has happened since my last post. A whole lot, as you can imagine. I even planned a blog post in my head, but it just never made it out alive.


That post was supposed to be about marriage, the struggle with infertility, and the testimony of how God came through for us.
Oh well, that’s now as belated as it gets because not only has God made me a mum, He has made me a mum of two amazing boys.

I’ll save that story for another day when I can tie it to a greater purpose beyond merely recounting an experience—all in the fullness of time.

Here are a few personal life events that have happened since I last posted here:

  • I started a YouTube channel to discuss kingdom-related matters. (Sigh. That’s also on pause now.)
  • I became a mum to one boy.
  • I moved to a new country.
  • I became a mum again, this time to another boy.

I’m not going to make empty promises like, “I’m back now, and I promise to be more consistent.”
Nope! I’m just here… for now.

Okay, the real reason I decided to dust the cobwebs off this blog is because my second son turns 1 in five days! It’s been quite an experience, and I wanted to share it.

I occasionally come out of hiding to drop an epistle (lol) on my WhatsApp status. But I thought, instead of using a platform where the status will disappear after 24 hours, why not use one that allows me to share broadly and more permanently, if I can put it that way?

I’m also trying to keep memories and journals for my children. I have Google Drive folders dedicated to storing their photos and videos as they grow up. This time, I’ll also have this digital birth story journal to show Oluwamurewa when he’s old enough.

All this in the hope that Google Cloud exists forever. Lol.

So, in my next post, I’ll talk about my birth story and share random gist about nurturing a child from infancy to toddlerhood.

I hope you’ll be reading.

For My Perfect Gentleman 💙🕊️

  I’m not really keen on the nitty-gritty of storytelling or creative writing, so I’m pouring this straight from the heart onto these pages. A Rough Start to the Year 13-01-2025. My life as I knew it changed forever. It was a rough start to the year, as my very dearly beloved Daddy passed on. I had wanted to put my feelings—my hurt, grief, and confusion—into writing for a while now. But I was filled with dread and, might I add, a sense of cowardice. Everything felt like a dream. For the past three months, I’ve daily wished it was just that—a dream. In my head, writing this would jinx it. It would confirm that it’s not a dream at all. And that would mean it’s real. That my perfect gentleman is really… gone? I wasn’t ready. Am I now? Maybe I'm expecting some kind of cathartic effect by doing this. I’m not sure. But here I am. I’ve written bits and pieces about my parents before, so I’m kind of glad this isn’t the first time I’m singing my Dad’s praises. It’s not just because he’s p...

  “It’s not really my thing.” This was my response to my husband, who, for the second time that week, was nudging me to consider joining the league of lifestyle vloggers/bloggers. “You can do it now,” he encouraged me. But I have since learned that having the ability to do something doesn’t always translate to the desire to actually execute it. I said it wasn’t my thing because that path requires being comfortable with a tell-it-all approach to personal storytelling. I’m not exactly a private person, but at the same time, I tend to worry that starting something like “Keeping Up with Buki” vlogging or blogging would leave people saying: Cue track 1—Title: “Who Asked?” Artist: Nobody ft. It’s None of Our Business. Lol. However, I’m making an exception here. I don’t know why, but I just feel like sharing what life has been like over the last 12 to 14 months to commemorate my second son’s birthday.
