Hello and good evening to the great people of STEEMIT. How are you all doing? I hope you are doing good. I bring you greetings from Nigeria my home country and I am doing just fine as well. It's good to be back here on STEEMIT to write about my diary and reading that of others.

It has been a very eventful full and joyful weekend for me starting on Thursday evening when I closed from work, headed to to market to buy some ingredients I needed for baking. And up till this evening,it has been fulfilled because I spent the break with my husband and kids and we did had quality time together.

My kids woke me up at 6:40am, even though I wanted to sleep more but I had to attend to them after praying. Then went to the kitchen and fetched some beans, washed and dehull and prepared for grinding.

Since my kids were up and active, I told them to accompany me to go grind it and they obliged. It was a form of good exercise as we walked on the streets to the place. However I had to be extra careful as these toddlers are unpredictable when it comes to playing, I had to ensure they were very close to me as we moved. ![IMG_20250421_075023_585.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbGcEVAWJkdN2o78rCp3sXKSgNy9sz6F7xRx48G1i7Vb7/IMG_20250421_075023_585.jpg) ^{on our way to go grind the beans}

We came back about 30 minutes later, they were already complaining of hunger, had to calm them down, bath them before entering the kitchen. ![IMG_20250421_091550_181.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUdMnyNHpkqPyuiD6E96vxjMF3mFUfy7ygT2A4Locr61k/IMG_20250421_091550_181.jpg) ^{frying akara} I fried akara and made Pap alongside and dished for them, before I finished they came back for more. I was happy because they were enjoying themselves. ![IMG_20250421_091544_333.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdz7UVjMWNABe9bnjSkU5VPyecWRFkNXY1vWfyccC7NJ5/IMG_20250421_091544_333.jpg) ^{they ate twice this portion}

After that I joined them in their room and we played for a while and on the cartoon on the phone for them to get entertained while I attended to the baby. In no time they slept off and I also went to have a very good siesta.

I had plans for us to eat the grinded beans in different forms so when I woke up, I went to the kitchen, brought the remaining out of the fridge and mixed my spices in it and put on fire to cook. ![IMG_20250421_152924_922.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYgkQ2neU9UQFdzMy5iWRDegvGKPeHjiC1EkMEjSdXRbg/IMG_20250421_152924_922.jpg) ^{making of moimoi}

As the food was cooking I went to the room to sort out my baby's wardrobe as he has outgrown some of the dresses so I declutter and folded back the ones that fits perfectly well. The kids woke up right on time as food was ready and I dished for them. Also served my husband. ![IMG_20250421_172507_547.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcqCf23sv12hj4Cq6TJfuFDWRpj9qJPbY8JrjZWqzWpck/IMG_20250421_172507_547.jpg) ^{moi-moi with garri}

We all enjoyed the food, I did the dishes and spent time with the kids playing in their room. The sun has been really hot so we stay more indoors. At about 6pm we all went outside to get fresh air as the sun was down. I watered the yam seedlings that we planted in the sacs pending when rainfall starts in our location. ![IMG_20250421_184251_413.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXgqA1sp9oMw2CHwoPhxLPkgsRGbDUoPd5SJaMA3vHWAf/IMG_20250421_184251_413.jpg) ^{watering the yam seedlings} It was fun doing it as the kids were also playing round the house and when it got dark, we came in and I bath them, watched cartoons for a short while and set them to sleep. Got to my room, also showered and went to bed. The little Easter break is over and work resumes tomorrow so I went to sleep early. This was how I spent my day. Thank you for reading my diary blog. See you in my next post. Good night amazing steemians.
