It started out with a little morning wog (walkjog) with kibaibai. On our way home we stopped at my neighbors. A couple days ago I was visiting my neighbor when the little girl Kosi, started crying cause she wanted to come to my house. I told her she could come over on Saturday. So this morning I picked her up and we went to my house. She didn't talk the entire way. We got to my house and began our morning of baking. We baked 2 cakes and a banana bread!
We were busy girls. And Kosi stopped being shy, and started chatting away. Did I mention she doesn't speak english. So all morning we were attempting to converse in Kiswahili. It was a lot of fun, and she was a huge help! I had to teach her how to use the western toilet too, at her house, the babies just go in the yard.
When we finished, we packed up the cakes and headed back to her house. We made cake for her family and their neighbors, who is my other favorite family to stay with. I spent the rest of the day with both families. Helping to prepare food, feeding the baby, and bathing the watoto (kids). I know it doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but it was some MUCH needed family time.
I cannot wait for my families to meet each other!
To end my really great day, I treated myself to some home spa time. Soaked my feet and gave myself a pedi. Also did a home made face mask with cucumbers on my eyes. The face mask is super easy!
Egg face mask
1 egg yolk, mixed with lemon juice. It makes a pasty goo, you spread on your face and leave for a few hours. It makes your face soooo smooth and if you have any redness or blotchiness, it helps that too! Try it!
