My first read of 2021 - Americanah – and wow, th My first read of 2021 - Americanah – and wow, this is such a significant book, because it has the power to change perspectives. It’s a love story but at the same time, the lead character Ifemelu, a smart and strong willed Nigerian woman living in America recognises the ugliness of racism and begins to share these findings and her fierce opinions on an anonymous blog.

Ifemelu left Nigeria to further her studies in America, leaving behind her boyfriend with whom she plans an eventual life together. But as you know …life happens.

There is so much I liked about this book and it’s the second book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that I’ve read. I will definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
I’m looking forward to reading Half of a Yellow Sun next. Have you read any of her books?

This weekend I was in the mood to create, declutte This weekend I was in the mood to create, declutter, rearrange things in our home and do activities with the kids. It was so rewarding. I mentioned it in my stories over the weekend, that I’m an Enneagram 9, which means I’m either highly energised and productive or a total sloth 🦥 lol . This weekend was a typical example of the former. I am hoping to bring this energy into the work week 🙌 🙌 Any other Type 9’s out there? Or what is your enneagram type?

Alyssa came home with the hugest pile of stationar Alyssa came home with the hugest pile of stationary that needed to be labelled yesterday 😅I am still traumatised by last years labelling where I left it too late to order and had to do them by hand on plain white labels 😭 

But thankfully this year @labels4school came to the rescue! They sent us the coolest designed colour starter pack of stickers for the kids stationary, lunchboxes, shoes etc. which makes life so much easier. Alyssa loves it so much, she did 80% of the labelling herself 👏 👏 
I am going tackle Aidan’s today! 

If you’re thinking of ordering some for your kids, then I have a 15% discount code for you! Use the code Hayley15 on the @labels4school website and you’ll get 15% off your order until the end of February!
