My nan just died….
She was my last living grandparent, this is a strange feeling. I feel numb 😔
Life doesn’t give you break, it’s like continuous waves knocking you down. And somehow you just have to find the joy amongst the waves 💔
It’s special because her name was Joy, my middle is name was given to me after her… Joy. And, I will continue to find the Joy in life 💫 RIP Cuddy ❤️
If you feel me, please feel free to share here. I hope this to be a safe space full of love 🥰
Some will say I’m over sharing and that it’s not good to show this amount of vulnerability publicly. But if it can make me and just a couple people out there feel less alone then f*ck it.
Thank you for hearing me 🙏
Lots of love, Nush
All because I told him the restaurant was closed….
But using my mum detective skills, I soon realised the real reason for the meltdown was fatigue after a long week of school. Poor bubba 🥺
And in this moment I decided to record it because recently I’ve been feeling like social media can make parenting look all glamorous…
We hardly see kids in meltdown mode on social media because in these moments comforting them is the priority rather than documenting but I thought that this reality- check could comfort someone else out there 🥰
COMMENT to let me know if you also experience regular meltdowns! I’m going through this madness just as much as the next parent… I see you, it’s tough, you’re doing amazing ❤️
SHARE this with a parent so they feel less alone 💌
Lots of love, Nush xxx
Send this to someone who you want to come to Senegal with 😏
Honestly it’s the most beautiful, welcoming, magical place on earth… Coming here saved me. I was burnt out, in survival mode and not enjoying Motherhood but coming into this environment changed my whole perspective on life and the relationship with my family.
It would be selfish not to share its beauty with as many people as possible soooooo we are now giving you guys the opportunity to experience the magic for yourselves 😍

How much of your kids art work do you keep? It may sound like a joke but this is actually a serious question 😂
Don’t get me wrong I am so grateful for these daily gifts, however, I can’t keep allllll of them 🥴 what do you guys do? Let me know in the comments ❤️
The last photo 😅 Can’t get these off her at the moment!
What an absolute blessing to live in this environment, forever grateful for Senegal 🇸🇳😍
Here’s what May looked like for us…
1. My first matching outfit with the kids (didn’t think I’d be that parent but here we are) 😂 @aurasoullondon
2. Visiting their grandads beautiful grave made with earth bricks, designed by his loving wife 🥰
3. My friend @paollaperetti mother blessing. We hosted a sharing circle to help empower her before baby no 2 arrives. An idealic setting for a peaceful ceremony 💫
4. A classic design of Villa here in Senegal. I love the earth colour with the greenery!
5. Aya going off for the day with her friends Maimouna and Marie ❤️

Watch to the end to see how this video goes wrong 😫
SAVE THIS POST so you remember to try it out on your kids and let me know in the comments if they like it 😍
I’m no food blogger (as this video very clearly shows)… I’m just a mum trying to find food that my kids like. I wouldn’t say they are fussy eaters but they definitely go through fussy phases.
However, this recipe seems to be an ongoing hit no matter what their tastebuds are saying 😅🙌 plus it’s packed full of superfoods and protein, which is great for my kids as they mainly eat a plant based diet.
Per serving you need:
- 1 banana
- 3/4 dates depending on size and how sweet you like it
- 3 heaped tablespoons of cooked quinoa (I prefer white quinoa) - tip…. Overcook the quinoa so it blends smoother!
- sprinkle of cinnamon and cocoa powder
- a tablespoon of seamoss
- plant milk (as much as you like to make it the consistency you want - more = runnier, less = thicker)
- seed mix - whatever seeds you like!
You can change it up depending on what flavours you like more 💫 can’t wait to hear your thoughts 😘
Watch to the end to see what I got Mr M for his birthday! What do you guys think of this present? Let me know in the comments! 🙌
I wanted to take you with me to buy it because I get a lot of questions about what life looks like here in Senegal.
It all looks pretty easy-going in this video, but sometimes we encounter a lot of hurdles like broken down cars, closed shops or not being able to find what you need so it’s not all picture perfect.
Living in Senegal requires you to stay flexible, easy-going and have a lot of patience, especially when you come from an environment, like London, that runs like clockwork.
Having said that, the slower pace of life is so much better for my soul. I like not being in a rush or packing too much into my day. Plus the friendly interactions you have just by walking out your house, makes everything more joyful!
This trip may have taken nearly the whole day to complete but it was thoroughly enjoyable, especially alongside my sis @ninka.mbaye ❤️

Ps Thanks to my wonderful wedding photographer @emacrompzweddings for the printed photos! Such a cute touch 🥰
