The junction – where friends meet to chit-chat and shoot the breeze.

Urine Analysis. This is not a pissing contest.

I saw this urine wall chart in a restroom and I’ve got my tongue in my cheek as I ask such a cheeky question; how is your piss?

One’s eyes may be the window to their soul, but the toilet bowl is certainly a window into your body.

The state of one’s piss (please bear with me and don’t laugh) has a lot to say about your health and let it not be said that you are piss poor. Here’s an interesting article on the origin of the popular saying “piss poor.”

Bird Walk – Mundane Monday.

Mundane Monday Challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.

The challenge is simple. Find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.

Saw this lovely feet patterns made on the sand during my evening walk, but alas, I didn’t see the birdie that owned the steps. I guess she took her walk earlier 🙂

Bougainvillea shade – A Click A Day.

I wonder how much cover from the sun that the Bougainvillea shade offers to these two sitting under it?

It’s a blazing furnace out here.

The dragonfly lady – A click a day.

August 30, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha28 Comments

She strolled past me, a better part of her visible body covered in tattoos. I caught sight of the Dragonfly on her back and giving in to my curiousity, I walked up to her, said hello, complimented her dragonfly and engaged her in a brief conversation.

Her body art serves as a cover for scars from injuries sustained in a car accident. She asked if I thought they were too much and I said no, that I could imagine the tattoos were prettier to look at than the keloids.

She smiled, stood still and obliged me with a photo 🙂

I did a little research on the dragonfly and found this information:

In almost every part of the World, the Dragonfly symbolizes change. Change in the perspective of self-realization. The kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

I may never come across the Dragonfly lady again, but I’ll remember the warmth in her eyes and the pleasure received from the conversation.

Sit down and have coffee – A click a day.

One of my sitting spot at the mall that’s close to my house. I gather my thoughts even with the buzz of people and their voices, slowly sip my coffee and watch people shamelessly 😉

Do you have a spot?

A Click A Day

Mr. Pencil – A click a day.

August 27, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha6 Comments

Running around to purchase the last minute school items for the children, Mr Pencil captured below reminds me of how many pencils I have to purchase in a given term because the children somehow manage to misplace them often enough.

It makes sense to buy bulk purchase school supplies so that I don’t go out of my mind at the odd moment requests of ‘mommy I can’t find my pencil or pen, eraser or sharpener.’

Below are few tips that can help to ease into a new school year.

Do a health check for your child/children
Stock up on back to school supplies.
Stock up on lunch/snack items.
Ease back into a bedtime routine and invest in an alarm clock if necessary.
Have a pep talk to motivate them and gauge their emotions.
If they are joining a new school, anticipate the challenges that come with change and give them as much assurance as possible.
Set new school year priorities for them.
Plan for an engaging after-school activity for them.
Pray for your children.

So are you ready yet?

Fresh Bread – A click a day.

August 26, 2016August 26, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha38 Comments

The aroma of fresh, soft baked bread makes your mouth water and arouses an irresistible craving inside you. Coupled with a generous slapping of Kerrygold salted butter and you’ve got me.

Where I live, there’s a deli downstairs and they always torture my nostrils (in a good way) with that tummy grumbling smell that floats through. I try to be strong and resist yanking some part of the loaf before breakfast time. Today, a photo will suffice 🙂

How do you like your bread?
