Ladies and gentlemen, remember when I bid you goodbye last year, one Monday in November? Little did I know that the fourth trimester was gearing to start in a day! I kid you not, it’s like I called it. One minute I am sleeping peacefully, the next, I’m heading to the loo to pee and […]
Diary of a Bibi Mama: Third Trimester Edition
The journey is almost at the end of its beginning. Yay! Maybe it is because you had a crazy first trimester, but your third trimester is mostly a walk in the park. You’re not that tired even though you do look tired all the time. Stairs and hills are work though. Let’s not talk about […]
You Might Be Interested in This
I promised a post every Monday, but my psyche had other ideas. And I decided not to fight it. So I will let you in on another Monday project that you might be interested in. Every Monday morning (or just before the deadline passes where you can legitimately call it a morning), we send a […]
Destination Diani
2020 has shown us many things. We have learnt to accept the things we cannot change and adapt accordingly. One thing that was taken away from us was the ability to travel. Back then, we would all wait with bated breath for the president’s addresses, just in case he opened or closed something again. So […]
Diary of a Bibi Mama: Second Trimester Edition
Yes. I coined a term for my new life. If you have been here long enough, you know I used to write about singlehood every month, with unashamed contentment. Then I stopped owning that vibe. As a result, we’re here with a completely new series. Somebody say hallelujah. This is a sequel to the last […]
Your Emotions in the First Trimester
I promised to cover an entire post on the feelings and thoughts during the first trimester. I am hoping this helps a girl who inevitably finds herself here in the near future. You are not alone. The interesting thing about the beginning of this journey is how you thought you knew what you were getting […]
10 Ways Your Body Will Surprise You in the First Trimester
It starts slowly. Gently. One moment, you’re not 100% sure you are pregnant even though you took a test that displayed two lines pretty instantaneously. You even go to the doctor’s just for a second opinion. He does no test. He is sure you are, based on your LMP and general cycle history. Oh yeah, […]

January is over! Haiya. Anyway, in the spirit of keeping tabs and dropping a few nuggets every time I ascend into another year of my life — from the third floor, here are thirty things I learnt or validated from my 30th year.
My Year in Music (2019)
Who does a music-in-2019 post in 2020? Us those. 2019 has come and gone with a lot of changes and moments. When the year started, someone came over here and shouted that he still misses when I used to introduce him to new jams. Say no more… 99% of my time listening to music is […]
About Addis
We went to Addis and saw a lot of things. Amharic. Injera. Ambo water. Coffee. Museums. Kutembea kwingi, kuona mengi.
Lovely London
First of all, I know their ancestors were our colonizers but I love a lot of British things. The accent. The history. The series that come from that place: Sherlock. Merlin. The Bodyguard. The Crown (the reason I subscribed to Netflix). Arsenal at a certain teenage point in my life. A lot of things. Bernard’s […]
Joburg in a Jiffy
I have stared at this white space for a minute now. A lot can go through your mind when you have a lot to do. And when several new things are happening in your life. Like when you get into a flight and find familiar food, because it’s KQ and you’re at home in the […]

As I enter my 30th year, a few somethings from 2018: You may start the year with all the resolutions in the world (even when you’ve never been a resolutions kind of person), but the year may shock you in both good and bad ways by giving you its own resolutions for you. How you […]
An Alpine Affair
After getting lost in Madrid, I came back to my comfort zone for a week then headed out the next Saturday to Marseille. I was very anxious about this trip to France because it was going to be loooooong. When I say long, I mean very long. Why? Because cheap is expensive. As a newbie, […]
Madrid Maze
It’s been a while since I wrote. I guess I keep saying that. But oh well, here we are again. Anyway, this post is going to be about Spain. A week ago, I was in Madrid (Or rather, when I started writing this post it was a week ago). And that was fun. Let’s list […]
