I have a certain struggle and I think I've been working on it pretty well, until this happens on the day I'm engaging gear two! It's just so frustrating. How could I be so careless? It's going to take a year to clear this one...

Dealing with brain fog in #midlife | shopping haul shock and #villagelifestyle @ManoeuveringMidlife
Not me here suffering anxiety...missing your train by seconds, looking for Tram 2 and panicking that you're lost..🤦♀️ aki I hate that feeling of being lost, I would have just sat down and cried. You handled it well 😊.
It was lovely to see Amsterdam through your eyes. I like Europe and have not been to Amsterdam, so this was nice. I enjoyed the views from your train ride.
Thanks for coming with me, Sis. Seeing Amsterdam at night during this xmas season was breathtaking for me. My eyes were fully dilated 😃...I also had a guide who really wanted me to experience the night life. He said, "Whatever happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam.." Subsequently, I did not show everything in this vlog 😅😅😅
Hey sis I love what you said in end about praying and visualising yourself being in that city, and for you to actually experience that is a beautiful, answered prayer and such a blessing.
@@BonakelephumoThanks Sis. It’s truly surreal. What a blessing 🙏✨
Gd morning 😊❤
Heeey, I saw you were/are in my country in this video haha.
Welcome to Yurop. You've come at a cold and dark season. Get some gloves and walk outdoors in safety...welcome to Finland too Mufu.
Thanks Liz!! It's been so cold!!!!🥶🥶🥶 I imagine Finland is colder. I'm dreading winter. I'm here for a short time. Be back in January...with gloves!!!
Thanks for watching!! I feel like I left out the ordeal parts...besides the stress. I suppose I like to focus on the bright side, but also sometimes forgetfulness can be a coping mechanism😅
Your kids are so talented 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I thought you only had the two girls I like the sweater you tried on at the thrift store…. I like thrifting and repurposing things Did you get to know who’s the person that came in in a helicopter 😅 just curious
Hey Sis, thanks for your kind words, they really are talented. I praise God. I didn't get to know who came in the chopper, but the couple sat right next to me in the concert and I felt like asking, "By the way, who are you?" but I kept my manners 😆😅
Hey sis, I’m catching up
Always welcome, Sis B!!
Safe travels Mufu...
@@akinyioulu Thank you Liz!!! 🙏
Sorry about the homa, sad banana bread is Kidia's but turned out pretty good for a first timer, yours was the happy one. Safe travels.
@@christinegisege3041 Thanks Christine. I tried to avoid the cold but it still got me!! Actually the happy banana bread was Kidia’s. She followed the instructions better than the instructor!!!😅
Also, the pieces are so dramatic 😮. Wow
I think so too...😅
Your kids are amazing ❤
Thanks, Nemu! As a music mom, you know their dedication.
Excellent talent👏👏👏for both kids. You're doing a good job.
Thank you Christine for your kind words😌... THEY are doing a good job ☺
A heads-up to the Olkaria Geothermal Spa fees. You have to pay KWS national park fees AND you also have to pay again to use get into the pool. Best day would be a cloudy one because Naivasha can be super hot on regular days.
Hey sis❤ I enjoy seeing parts of other countries through the people I’m subscribed to, so I enjoyed seeing that heated pool/spa place. And you clearly had fun, you were smiling the entire time The plant germinating process just encouraged me to fast track my little garden I’ve been meaning to start.
Hey Big sis!! Thanks for your kind words. That natural hot water pool was truly amazing!! Indeed, I was all smiles that afternoon😁. I had never been there before. I'm glad you got to see a different part of Kenya on my channel 🤗🤗 As for gardening, I really have no green thumbs. So let's try it together💚🤎. I hear it's therapeutic.
@ I managed to keep my indoor plants alive for over a year now, so I’m hopeful 😀 let’s do it, I’ll get seeds soon
@@Bonakelephumo I love that! 😁
Hey sis Glad you finally got access to the music room 🎉 You are doing such an important work with the kids
Hey sis, indeed I finally got it...for now anyway. I am so happy the kids also love it. I hope I can be here for a full year at least. Thank you for your kind words🙏
Catching up today! Thanks for sharing how you bulk shop, its most certainly cost effective.
Thanks for watching sis. Yes bulk shopping is certainly cost effective. My only problem is where to put it coz I don't have a pantry. For instance, I keep the large bale of toilet roll in my wardrobe!!! 🤦♂😅
Hi sis I could definitely relate to your experience at the police station. Our police system has deteriorated badly, that even something as quick as certification of a document becomes such a hassle. And its the same with us as well, still using paper and ink for fingerprints....when I went last month, I was not even provided with something to wipe my hands with doing the prints 😄 As for office politics, don't even get me started....kindness, helpfulness is slowly disappearing...quite sad!
We were also not given paper to wipe our hands 😅Good thing I had a file sleeve to carry the forms in. As for workplace politics, it's as if being kind to someone else takes away something from you 🤷♀. God will fight our battles.😁
Hello!! Thank you for watching the video 🙏🙏🙏 I hope you got to the end to hear my thoughts. What are your thoughts on this matter? Please do share.
Such a beautiful rustic home ,love those lawns and so envious of the chill country life.
Hi Alice! Thanks for the compliments on my home🙏🙏 I'm grateful for this. To be honest, chill is nice but I also often long for the fast-paced city life.🙂
An important life lesson you are teaching your daughter about managing her time Here mandzi is known as amagwinya Adapting to a new schedule takes time, glad you are giving yourself rest. Karibu 😊
Hey Sis, I really struggling with those time-management lessons with the little one...every morning, evening and night😭😓 What language is the word amagwiya? Yeah, I should allow myself some grace to adapt to a new routine. This is a marathon after all! Although the 'rest' tends to come with some guilt.
@@ManoeuveringMidlife it takes time with these little ones 😊 Amagwinya is an isiZulu word which is my home language, but they are called the same in other tribal languages as well
Hey Sis Haven’t watched the video you talked about but it’s a very important story/warning for younger people to not be caught up in the same. I like sharing about life experiences for the benefit of others.
Hey Sis, yes. In the interview video, the lady is able to make it both light and serious. I think it takes a lot of courage to own up to one's own mistakes and to use that as a life lesson for others by sharing. I wish I had that kind of courage.
Thank you 🙏for watching the video. I hope you'll go watch the interview to get the full plot ruclips.net/video/XIDRrXOfW8c/видео.html I think it's worth your while, especially if you're going through the themes or knows someone who is.
Wishing you all the best! Going back is not failure - its just another detour in this exciting journey called life. I like the way your eyes lit up at the prospect of more money 😅
Hey Alison!! I really thought I had moved on...You're right, it's a detour. Thanks for the encouragement🙏 And yes, the 'more money' part is always a good incentive...for a while anyway! 😁
Going back isn't failure. It's an opportunity to do it with the right mindset. Kudos dear.
Thanks for that.🙏🙏🙏 I want to always remember my WHY...and then to also be grateful that I even have the opportunity to do it again.
Hi Sis❤ Congratulations on your new job opportunity which will help to augment your income as well 🎉 Indeed sometimes life calls for us to revert to certain things in order to keep our lives going, until what we desire materialises. I laughed when you spoke about the squats guy 😂 I can’t get over the beauty of your backyard 👌
Thank you so much for the encouragement Sis B!!! 🙏Just the other you shared how you left your job, and here I am today going back to mine. It feels like it's not progress...On the other hand, I have a goal to fulfil so I'm going in until they materialize. When I wore the tights I immediately thought of the squats guy!😄😅 Thanks for complimenting my garden...I give all credit to out gardener.🙂
I hope this resonated with some of you. Going back to a past vocation sometimes feels like you're taking a step back. I see it as an opportunity to finish 'properly' this time. To you in your thirties, please make the best of the time you have now!!! Learn from my mistakes. Peace & love✌💛
Please get rid of the plastic cover. The micro plastics get into the food. Re: odour please go straight to your gynae. It could be nothing or BV or something else. Just get it checked. Also gentle exercise helps during your period. I’m a heavy bleeder with fibroids. I cut down on tampons when I noticed the smell and stick to fragrance free pads.
@mariamaj1432 Yes, I don't like the plastics for food. I use glass containers but they come with plastic lids...what do you use? And where do you get them? 🤔 Re: odour, yes I really do need to get checked. The fact that I'm broadcasting it...it's definitely a matter of concern for me. Thank you for this! 🙏
I use the ones with the bamboo covers (ikea) or reusable silicon covers (amazon).
@@mariamaj1432 👌👌👌Thanks for this idea!!!!🙏🙏🙏
My menses would take 5-6 days but noticed there was spotting going on 3- 4 days later, & a bit of an odour. Ignored ot for I'd say 6 months until one day I was at work & I was like I can smell myself & got paranoid that other could smell it too. Went to see the gynae turned, she prescribed anti bionics for me & my person at the time. Bur as she examined me she found 2 orange sized fibroids No brainer for me coz I'd decided 6yrs ago, no.kore kids...did a hysterectomy 3 months ago - ovaries intact (yay to no more expenses on pads & tampons). So YES...pls visit the gynae.
@MBITHEify Yeah, the smell is weird, it comes up to your nose. Makes you self-conscious. Orange-size fibroids...how do they fit in there without being felt? I usually wonder.. Thanks for sharing. By the way, no more pads/tampons? Meaning, no more periods?
Yes...no more periods.
@@MBITHEify Wow! I never even thought about that!
🌷 Was it something I ate or drank??? Thanks for adding your two cents to this comment... And thanks for watching to the end of the video🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I discovered years ago that sunscreen is not just for wazunguz. Laroche Posay is a really good brand.
@MBETHEify Because of that, LaRoche Posay is also quite expensive...🙃
Love the 3rd dera, bright colours… it’s a kao thing ❤
@MBETHEify I think I have that in me, too!!! Bright colours...😁
House Manager issues …the bad - I had to fire one because she stole some jewellery, another one was just rude /arrogant. My current live in , is retiring at the end of the year,it’s like we’re losing a family member, she’s been with us 6 years 😢
@MBITHEify Oh nooooo! That's going to be hard for the littles😟. Is she that old that she has to retire now??????????
Hey sis ❤ You live in such a tranquil beautiful place
Hello Sis B.!!!! I'm grateful, it's very peaceful here. Sometimes I take a break from this and drive to the city just to jolt my senses! 😅 Thank you for visiting my channel 🙏
We've nade it to 100 SUBS!!! 😃Whoop whoop!!💃💃💃THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏
That banana bread looks yummy, thanks for the info for sunscreen. i have never used it on my face, and i see the damage. Keep going, the channel is growing.
Hi Christine, I also never applied sunscreen (for everyday use). I thought wearing a brimmed hat and long-sleeved tops was enough. This was a big lesson for me. I think I'll also add Vit C serum for my face. Yes, we're growing!!! Whoohoo!!!!👏👏👏 Thanks for being here.
The strings are called phloem bundles. When am I coming for my bread😋
@@violetakibaya7323 Wow!!! I was not expecting an answer so quickly😅. Banana bread coming up!! Just tell me if you want it with or without sugar…
Congratulations on taking that bold step!! Wishing you all the best. I like the wakeup time confession - midlife rocks - we can sleep in and feel absolutely nothing 😂
Thank you, Alison!!🙏🙏🙏 It really is a bold step. As for waking up late during the school break, that's my norm. Lazy mom guilt left a long time ago!😅
Hey Mufu! I so enjoy your videos as we navigate midlife. So proud of you for going back for your Masters. It’s never too late and if it’s in your heart, go for it! I just went back for my doctorate after 11 years on my masters. Happy to say I graduated last December. Hang in there. Anything worth doing isn’t easy but you got this.
Hey Saira! Thank you for the encouragement. It really means a lot 🤗🙏🙏🙏 And congratulations on your PhD!!! 🙌🎉🎉🎉 Academia is not easy. I need to hear these stories.
The reason I have a hard time firing the help is that I imagine this story behind her employment situation. I tell myself, "She has small kids, she's the sole provider, good work is hard to come by, etc.." It totally disarms me and then I force myself to look at her soft skills..."she's punctual, polite, kind, etc..." as I continue to suffer.😓
oh wow i saw vihiga and clicked so fast,you keep suprising me with your beautiful homes wow you so blessed. Your family is beautiful.

grow a thick skin ,allow yourself to feel so that you can know the difference.
💯I like the first part. What did you mean by the second part?
@@ManoeuveringMidlife sometimes when you have been verbally abused alot or any other form of abuse ad you get used to it ,then one day you realize its ot ok anymore.,because you have realised the difference and finally you can make and chose how to be treated.
@@maddemadetv445 💯Unfortunately, a lot of people don't get to the turn-around point. They remain stuck in the abuse. It takes a high level of self awareness or counselling to make that realization. Emotional abuse is subtle and often unrecognised.
