Some of our outstanding mums gave us beautiful insights on their favourite things about being mums…..So many interesting experiences to learn from. It is amazing how the simplest things make a huge difference. Indeed the best things in life are free… happy reading.

Oh it is so hard for me to choose..it is just everything. However, I would say getting to know and connecting with them individually.- Feyikemi 

I enjoy my bonding sessions with them when I set time asides mostly weekends, we do a lot together, cleaning, cooking(pancakes, they mix and I fry).- Tolu

For me, it’s the miracle of having to carry a foetus in your womb and it grows and gradually turns into a developed baby for nine months. Experiencing the miracle of birthing the child, watching them grow their first tooth, hear them utter their first word, watch them crawl, then walk and run. For me, these are my favourite things about becoming a mum and I am so grateful to be called one.- Seyitan

For me it’s seeing them grow to be  individuals and hearing their point of view on everything!! I feel like we have a great friendship and I love hanging with them.- Abi A

For me it’s  a whole lot, the communication , the bonding, their resilient spirit and teachable heart, it humbles me and the way they love…unconditionally!- Doris O

Favourite thing about being a mum would be having these beings who depend solely on me for almost everything!…The unconditional love  shapes my mindset to know that I am worthy, appreciated & very much needed. – Abigail 

For me it’s about loving them and being loved back unconditionally and having the friendship and bond with my children. Its the ability to help shape a mind  & knowing when to draw the line of loving them and being assertive, especially to the teenagers. For my little miss… it’s about hearing “ I love you mum” a hundred times a day  .(keeps me smiling , knowing i am important to them).- Didi A

Difficult to choose as I have a lot. For me it’s their honesty to tell me the truth about myself when I ask them what areas would you like mummy to improve on. They teach me how to apply the fruits of the spirit on a daily basis.- His Treasured Possession 

I have had the opportunity of  knowing them more during lockdown, their strength and weaknesses and they have made me know myself too. The best part was being able to teach them how to cook, bake, sew, draw and have self confidence in their identity, what they do and say. Its always fun with them and they teach me their slang words – Tapi

Watching them grow. I am intrigued by their different personalities and points of view.   It amazes me that 2 children from the same parents can be so different and this has helped me to be more accommodating of other people.- Tope A

Hmmmm, my favorite thing about being a mum. This one hard small because I won’t say I have a favorite thing. It’s  been a blessing watching them grow, the constant hugs and kisses from the baby of the house, seeing the 3 different personalities ( I have 3) and wondering how amazing baba God is. Now I’m enjoying slowly taking my hands off cooking particularly making stew.- Lolade.
