 I am back again after 2 years , wow.. Such a long time of studying, working , wifeing , mummying , friending , familying etc 😃😃😃.... So happy for this come back so I can share simple daily life activities. I was going to say, I promise not leave for such a long time but instead of promising, let me just push to keep writing here. How has it been with you and yours ?

  There is an exciting thing about new year , new month , new week etc...  Motivation is usually high on the goals we intend to achieve, however, like every other emotion , motivation do drop and when this happens , we tend to lose interest or just become unmotivated. Anyone can actually feel motivated or unmotivated , the thin line is self - discipline. And I must tell you that, it is not easy at all,  but can be cultivated. One easy way to start building this, is writing the goals down , pasting it where you visit often such as bedside , bathroom , wardrobe and also on your phone with reminder dates.  Another important tool is having an accountability partner! This is as important as setting the goals. When you have someone that you are accountable to , it has a way of making you stay through the process, not because the person will flog you ..lol but largely due to the fact that you do not wish to disappoint the person and yourself.. I will share more on this pla...

 This time last year, I made a decision to launch my personal development & growth coaching. So many challenges came but , but I knew it was time as I  already prayed about it. I thought about so many ways to start off, as God would have it ,I had a baby last October and as usual ,I added weight,up to 108kg. I knew immediately that my weight gain after pregnancy was what I was going to use to launch my first course Accountability Program  - Career Development , Business Management , Weight Loss Accountability Program etc. Accountability is a crucial aspect of achieving a set goal. You will agree with me that when motivation is high, you see yourself working so hard on your business , career , weight loss etc.However, once motivation drops , we start struggling .The thought process of how we struggle when motivation drops was what formed my decision in launching '' Weight Loss Accountability Program'' .. Focusing on the key word Accountability ,when you are accountab...

 We all can agree  that when it comes to kiddies ,one word is constant '' outgrowing or they grow so fast''. Who else understands this better than your favorite online discount store Zadob Kiddies, that actually started because of the constant word ''outgrowing or they grow so fast.. 😀, Do not worry at all mama, we are with you, so see below tips to help you when shopping and caring for your kids clothes. 1. Are you brand driven or functionality or quality ? Trust me, all are great. But the the thing to look out for is good deals. You see our angels, they grow super fast so I am a fan of all - brand , functionality and quality, guess what ? You can get it at Zadob kiddies , you know why ? Because a mum can an buy an item and see that it didn't fit or baby outgrew it so fast and boom , she brings it to sell at Zadobkiddies 😀 ..So you can actually get all in one at your favorite online store. 2. What Age Do You Buy ? I personally don't believe in that ki...

Commitment Commitment Commitment!!!!!!!!!  If only this word knows how important and often it has been mentioned, it will just comply 😀 How many times have you mentioned to your friend that your challenge is just commitment to this weight loss? If only you can commit to this routine, that you would have achieved a size 8 or 10?  Countless times right? I know, weight loss/fitness is one thing I discuss daily too so I totally understand. Let me share one gist that will crack your ribs ..hahaha! Do you know that my friend and I went for a birthday party some years back and didn't eat at all because we were on one yoyo diet 😂. We had only water all through the party. This was at a Chinese restaurant. If you know me well, I am sure you will understand what I mean because I not only like food, I love Chinese food....I can imagine your face right now laughing at me... That's ok, please laugh with me too😂😂... The struggle i...

This sounds cheesy right but guess what? It's the truth.... Most times, we think that what works for one may work for us, but it's usually not the case...  pic credit : steemit Let me give you a funny example, so l joined a friend to do keto during keto rave, guess what happened?? 😁😁, l didn't last for a week 😂😂 because it was never for me, l was so sad that period, felt like the world was moving but l was not so l had to look for the type of health / weight loss that works for me... Identify what works best for you is not just on weight loss but cuts across life, be it career, business, marriage etc.... . Sometimes, l hear people say " l don't even know what l want", that's ok, if you are confused or overwhelmed, you can always seek assistance, if that's your case, let's talk about it, send an email so Solum.adoi@gmail.com to book a session or chat us via DM   https://www.instagram.com/talk2solum/ to book a session.. Please reme...

So you have finally decided to start a business but how  do you  ldentify People's Need?  Image credit : Google  1. You can identify people's need by asking yourself  "What is my pain Point" 2. Your pain Point is a need for you and if it's a need for you, there is a possibility that is also another person's need  Let me give you an example of a pain Point that can be converted into a business...... So Mrs Ada buys goat and cow meat from Seller A She buys dry fish from seller B  Then Chicken from Seller C.... Thi s means, she shops from 3 different sellers and will also pay different delivery fees? Her pain Point can be dealing with different sellers,when it could have been one, if only  Seller A was selling all ...  Assuming, she (Mrs Ada) decides to run this business, her focus won't be on just cow and goat, she will add chicken, fresh fish and dry fish so her usp (unique selli...

The question is "What Problem Do You Want To Solve"? . . I remember when @zadobkiddies was launched, it was the peak of Instagram buzz and l do spend time on the internet, so l started asking myself questions........ What can l sell on this platform?😁, guess that was the Igbo blood in my vein speaking...... While l asked myself the question, l was also not ready to just sell anything. Problem solving was all l could think of but didn't know which at that time.. . . My thinking cap came on, l started asking myself, "what's your pain point"? and boom, it clicked, it was the period l had my first baby, I didn't just shop and l over bought baby items...... ( Blame it on first time mum) 😊 . . So l was looking at a room full of baby items that were not used or barely used because they ( babies) grow super fast and it just hit me, there must be mums like me who must have over bought, l was like Alas!!! This is it,  l decided that l was going to creat...

The attention of the Lagos State Ministry of Education has been drawn to the plans by some private schools in the State to resume academic activities for the third term of the 2019/20 session by online teaching. This is with effect from Monday, 27th April, 2020. As we are already aware, the State is presently on lockdown imposed by the Federal Government over the Covid-19 pandemic. The Ministry regards the “resumption” by schools as a strategy for ensuring that students continue to learn while the school calendar continues as planned.   Please, note that the third term resumption remains postponed until directives to the contrary. Most schools are charging for this online service; often at a discount on existing tuition fees while some schools are charging full fees. Parents are concerned about the cost to them of this programme, ranging from fees charged by schools to cost of data and devices as well as the cost of fuelling generators to ensure steady electricity power s...

Testimony time 🙏🙏🙏Our mouth is full of praise to the Almighty God....... So our beautiful mama commented on our page how she looks forward on shopping with us once God answers her on blessing her womb so l told her that we are standing in the gap with her to speak to God Almighty.... We prayed to the most high God and guess what ???? Our dearest mama chatted yesterday and even munched the comment to say , do you remember this comment , that she has come to testify..... 😥😥😥😥 ( tears of joy )....... l immediately started crying,  I was like God , you did this , oh l cried reading her messages yesterday....... . My heart is full, l can't even thank God enough,  he is forever faithful..... We pray again that God that started this will see her through the journey in Jesus name , Amen To all our beautiful mamas trusting God for their , the Jehovah Elohim that did this will answer you, we declare supernatural touch of God in the name of Jesus, amen. Do you have any...

Tick Tock.....Homework time loading 😁 . . . Creating a routine and place for homework makes it a bit easier... We have our time and also a dedicated table and chair that we bought from @cutelittleangelsofficial , you need to check them out...... I also think that we need to exercise patience with our little one, their attention span is something else 😁😁 so we need to calm down while doing the homework with them.. . . . A piece of advice, 😁😁 If you are about to lose your patience,  please take a deep breathe, also ask your baby to do so too.... Funny but it sure helps. . . . Please add other points on how you do home work with your little one so we all can learn....

Each time I remember this, I ask myself how I managed to cope. It was sure an unforgettable experience. So the day for circumcision , my friend drove us to the hospital and immediately we entered , the doctor just said to me , I will advise you stay outside because you may not be able to stand the sight.  So I quickly left in tears as I was already imagining the pain my baby will go through. I honestly will tell you that I could still hear my baby’s voice inside my head….Lol After some minutes, they came out and my little one was taking it all in as a strong baby, but I was so broken. I quickly put breast in his mouth, held him like my own life is dependent on his. **** mother’s love**** So immediately we got home, I gave him another pain reliever as I was advised. I thank God that I didn’t overdose him with it because I was so scared. Then when it came to applying the Vaseline, I almost covered where he will pee from with it because I felt pouring everything will help...

Holiday season for kids is not just to play but also for parents to connect more with the kids and create memories. I know that most mums work while some run their businesses; I usually advise the 8 – 5pm mums not to joke with their weekends especially the ones that close quite late due to the nature of their work, while the mums that run their business should  learn time management to enable them create 1 or 2 hours daily for the kids during this holiday. I love memories as I feel that’s the only thing that we are left with at the end of the day. So creating bonds /memories with our kids and family in general is the only thing that matters. Let me tell you a short story. So I was playing hand ball with my little baby some days back and I missed to catch one of the throws from him and guess what I heard ‘’ Mum, don’t give up ‘’, I smiled and almost cried because that is what I do tell him when we are doing homework or when he playing his game. There is nothing like thos...

This topic reminds me of when I was shopping for my baby. I bought quite a lot!  Both the ones I used and the ones I never used, which led to the launch of @zadobkiddies, where mums can buy and also sell kiddies items that they never used. So I had to put up this list as a guide to help mums shop key things they need for their little angels. For me, the list below is very important: 1. Onesies 2. Baby Bottles 3. Blankets 4. Towels ( Face towel too for bathing  baby) 5. Bibs 6. Burp Cloths 7. Manicure Set 8. Socks 9. Pacifier 10. Sterilizer ( This is not a must because you can buy a transparent bucket with cover , boil hot water and use it to sterilize the bottles) 11. Mittens ( To cover baby’s hand to avoid scratching face or any other part of their body) 12. Diaper ( I recommend Molfix , you can use huggies for the first 3 months then switch to Molfix ) 13. Baby Bath Set 14. Dettol or Savlon 15. Baby Soap 16. Baby Rocker ( You can buy Infa...

What inspired you to start your business? Business in my opinion should start or align with passion not necessarily based on rave of the moment. I recall how I started my business. if you missed that post, please click this link to read  http://som-t.blogspot.com/2018/12/my-story.html?m=1 To start a business, we need to look at the following: Passion and interest, needs observed in the society etc , with these you are able to put in your all to deliver beyond expectation of your customers.
