Bliss is time with the kids
Last weekend, I went home to receive a lovely surprise. My sister insisted that I should visit her and I did, not knowing why she was so excited.

If we look closely enough,…
After a road accident – The do’s and the don’ts
As you check the casualties for injuries, DO NOT move them. Kneel besides them and lean over to check. Standing near them can send them into panic. If the injured is in the car and you can treat them for injuries in there, then do so. Moving them may worsen neck or back injuries that…
Baby breakfast disaster!
It was a fine morning, and an energetic Kuria did what he was accustomed to: as he left for work, he passed through where baby Wambui was sleeping, kissed her good bye and then rushed off. He was close to his daughter: he loved her very much. Every evening he made sure he brought his…
Baby Fashion 30
