Cheers to an Awesome August

How time flies!!! We are already in the month of August. Whoop!! Whoop!! I love August because, first of all, the premier league football returns, that means no more boring weekends. It also signifies that Christmas is just around the corner and it is mine and other members of my family's birthday month.  My teenage sibling's birthday is on the 11th of August, My dad's on the 27th, a very lovely lady who I describe as a sister-friend, her birthday is on the 28th and mine is on the 29th. It is a birthday packed month.

I am also excited about this month because my older son who is 4 years old starts proper nursery known as reception next month. So we are busy preparing for his resumption, making sure we get all his school items ready in time for September. It is a milestone I look forward to. I can't wait for his first day in school.

July was such a busy and unorganised month for me and I must apologise for my inability to review the book for July, it was due to lack of being organised on my part. I was even unable to finish reading the book. I will however to do that this month and subsequently review it. The month of July came with it's challenges and I overcame. I had a health scare but I was given an all clear by the doctor. My nephew had a surgery and it was a success - Thank God.

Serena Williams finally matched Steffi Graf's record of winning 22 grand slam titles, It was a remarkable moment for everyone around the world. I almost cried when she recited Maya's poem 'Still I Rise'....... Wow!! It was so powerful.

Andy Murray - The No 1 Men's British Tennis player also won his second Wimbledon title, I actually cried when he did. It was also a remarkable moment especially for British tennis.

I was gifted a book titled Son Of My Father by the author Tosin  Olukuade, I hope to do a review of the book soon, I have read few pages and I am loving it.

I was finally able to go for a spa weekend with a couple of friends and  we enjoyed every minute of it. We had so much fun dining, wining, getting massaged and getting all sorts of body and facial treatments. It was restful as well and we were able to catch up with what was going on in our lives.
We had planned that after dinner at the hotel's restaurant, we would go to the cinema, but we were so tired and all we wanted to do was just catch up and go to bed.
After a full English breakfast the next day, we had our massage and all kind of body treatment and just lounged in the hotel lobby till in the evening when we went to a restaurant in the town for dinner. We barely remembered to take pictures. We just wanted to enjoy the scenery and bask in the moment without kids screaming and demanding for our attention. It was bliss.

When I got home, Le' hubs and the kids gave me big hugs and kisses. They missed me. My older son even said to me - 'Mummy, you are my best friend'.....awwwwwww!!! That gladdened my heart. I had fun telling anyone who cared to listen how I am now my son's best friend.

On Monday, while getting him ready for school, I asked him if I was his best friend and he said 'Eeeerrm No'!!! 'So who is your best friend'? I asked and he said 'Sophie'. Sophie is actually his best friend but I replaced her for a day because he missed me. Sophie is back to her position......Lol! It was fun while it lasted anyway.

As this is my Birthday month, I plan to give a gift to an ardent reader of my blog.. She has never missed any of my blog post and I am super glad and chuffed to have her as a supporter. I plan to do the same to another ardent reader in December, this is because December is my favourite month of the year - It's Christmas month after all. So If you would like to be a recipient of this gift, be sure to subscribe, read and drop your comment on the blog regularly. Thank you

She will be revealed at the end of the month.
My birthday gift has started rolling in, I bought myself a voucher that entitles me to a full spa day, looking forward to it.

I hope and pray that this month will be a blessed one for us all.

Cheers to an Awesome August!!
