Salutation/Introduction

Humble greetings to my lovely Steemians in @urdu Community.
I am @linheart bringing you warm greetings also from my country Nigeria. It is my first post on this Community and I am writing a diary game on how I spent my day working on my kids' food.

Let me start by saying that there is nothing good in life that comes easy. And to have healthy kids you really need to work very hard and extra hours to achieve that. I am a teacher by profession and a mother of two kids, one is 2years and two months old while the other is approaching 6months. The former is a male while the later is a female. It is a thing of joy having these precious gift from the Almighty and nothing gives me much thought and concern like their Healthy growth and development and nothing makes me happy like watching them developing healthily and rapidly both physically, mentally and even spiritually. Because, man being a multidimensional being and a tripartite being for that matter, a wholistic health and development must include physical, mental and spiritual growth.

Morning Hours

We have been on vacation because of the fastive season and having spent a holiday of about three weeks, we are to resume on the 10th for the second term of our 2021/2022 academic session. I woke up very to start Preparation so as to beat time and get to school in time. I got to school before it was 7:30am and joined the morning assembly. When the morning devotion was over, the proprietress and the Headmaster summoned all the staff for briefing as it is the resumption day of the school for the new year. So many issues bothering on the staff and school management were discussed, which included, staff punctuality to school, staff renumeration and appraisal in which the staff agitated for increment in their salary, breaking of scheme, etc . After that the staff dispatched to their various classes and commenced revision. The first week of our resumption is usually used for revision to refresh the memory of the pupils on what was they were taught in the previous term. And also revisit the previous term Exam questions.
The school closed at 12:30noon and I got home.

Afternoon Hours

When I came home I bathed my two kids, fed them and them lulled them to sleep so that they would allow me time to make a fresh stock of their meal.

What is involved in the preparation of their meal include:
1• An Unripe Plantain
2• Groundnut
3• Soya Beans
4• Tigernuts
5• Dates
6• Sweet Potatoes.
The process involved peeling the unriped plantain and drying it and the grinding it in a blender.
The groundnut and soya Beans were first soaked in hot water and dried and the grinded. The dates are washed , dried and the inner seed removed and then blended dry. It serves as the natural sweetener/sugar of the meal so it becomes unnecessary to add refined/artificial sugar but one may add honey at will.
Same process goes with the Tiger nuts, after carefully selecting it to to separate it from stones, them it is thoroughly washed and dried and then blended. Ideally, it is better to dry them under the sun but because of the urgency because I ran out of stock of my babies food completely after we returned from the village during the festive period, I have to use electric oven to dry them so as to get it done so as to restock their food.
At the same time I was busy in the kitchen with lunch preparation for the family intermittently because I needed to get food ready for my husband for his lunch.
It was not an easy task. I spent the whole of the afternoon and almost the evening working on this but I was happy because at the end I achieved the desired result.

Evening Hours

I finished very late in the evening and already fatigued and totally exhausted. So I just made their food and gave them and the then retired to bed for the day.

Conclusion

My day was a very hectic one but the joyous part of it was that it was a day well utilized to accomplish great things I planned for. Let my kids eat their food and grow healthy for me. Thanks for Your Time. I am profoundly indebted to @urdu Community for providing me the opportunity to share my day's activities with friends all around the globe. profoundly indebted to @urdu Community for providing me the opportunity to share my day's activities with friends all around the globe.
