Trials and tribulations of blogging

Getting the hang of blogging is really difficult for the not so technologically savvy people amongst them ... me. I have done two different drafts and you know what they keep on disappearing. It might be coz i do them on my phone and there is no back up there. 

 It is the most frustrating thing, almost like having your edited dissertation ready and right before the deadline a virus attacks your computer wiping away everything you have been working on for over 8 months. Arrgh!! Not exactly worked on the post for the past 8 months but i believe you get the idea.

 I will get the hang of things here, hopefully soon so that i can continue uploading. I am not giving up. Am listening to this to give myself more hope.

Any ideas on how i should solve this?

Shake your tambourine

Sometime back around when mumchkin was about 4 months his grandmother, my mother bought him a pink and turquoise bus. The pink and white wheels make noise as they rotate and the top of the bus has a xylophone. The best recipe for music. Its like having a boombox right in your living room. This boom box, doesn't carry a rhythm.  At 4 months, I didn't mind the bus as much because how much music will be made. I asked his grandmother, don't you want us to stay in peace? She said why peace, I never had peace and she laughed, alot. She said it's my turn now.  Then we got more movement in our limbs and mumchkin rolls that bus and hits it against walls and legs and noise fills the ears and he joins the noise with his baby talk, loudly too. I think the talking is his version of the 'wheels on the bus go round and round'.  After a long day, you ask God to give you patience least you throw away the bus that has refused to die, despite being mistreated. In my sane mind, I...

Au Naturel

In the endeavor to give the best your mumchkin, you can go to all lengths under the sun. Read all organic blogs in keeping away chemicals from your loved one.  So I started reading about detergents to use on clothes and turns out you should only rinse your baby clothes in the purest water from the streams up in Mt. Kenya. All detergents contain irritants and should not touch the skin of your baby. Then i read about baby oil and soap. All soap isn't good soap, good organic soap is without sulphates and should only cost you an arm and a leg. Oils contain unnatural fragrances and additives and are really not oil but a derivative of crude oil. Now do you want fossils on your baby? An extinct dinosaur on my brand new baby. No no. So we discussed this difficult as a family and brainstormed for days and finally decided we shall have coconut oil. A family meeting to discuss baby oil!! The next hurdle, the ones stocked in supermarkets contain preservatives. That isn't natural enough so ...

The great big hike

Anyone who knows me will tell you I avoid any form of exercise like the plague. I am not athletic and I acknowledge I am very unfit.  I woke up on the morning of the hike that had been planned for the past month, which I had paid for, I turned in bed made myself more comfortable and had an internal dialogue where the majority decided I am not going up the hill.   Mumchkin's dad asks me "aren't you supposed to be going for the hike to Menengai Crater". I told him categorically, I am not going and that I didn't welcome any follow-up to the conversation.  At around 8 o'clock as am trying to come up with an excuse for the group, when am sure there is no going up a treacherous mountain since we are supposed to take off at 7.30 am and am already late, I log into WhatsApp and I see that the group has not yet left. I still don't have a great excuse.  Mumchkin's dad tells me just go. I didn't want to. I put on my big girl pants and got ready to go collapse ...
