Travel tip #1: What to do when your safari jeep breaks down in the middle of the Serengeti?
Answer: Don't panic, take a deep breath and keep watch!
On this beautiful day, the breeze was blowing and it smelt like the Earth. We were in the middle of the Serengeti out of radio range. This was our fourth day in the Safari and our safari jeep decided to take a break. Or break down, however you'd like to see it. I was asked to "lookout" for anything that may come out of the grass. Like a Lion, Leopard, Hyena, or Cheetah while my husband and our guide tried to fix the jeep.
So yea, thats me, on top of the jeep, slowly making 360 degree turns watching the grass and praying that nothing appeared behind us where I couldn't see. Thats the hard part of being a look-out, the possibility that your going to miss the one thing you were supposed to look out for because it snuck up on you. We were nothing to the animals, the wrong move and we could just be their lunch 😭.
Quite thrilling to say the least. I mean do you know anyone else that had to keep up a Lion watch? So, what is the one thing you do not do when your safari jeep breaks down in the middle of the Serengeti?
You don't stop watching 😉!

Dear Munachimso & Kaobichimra,
Before you came into my life, I used to wonder what being called “mom” would feel like. I wondered if a love that deep could really exist. A time when I silently carried heartbreak after heartbreak behind closed doors. The type that changes you forever. You walk into appointments praying for good news…only to sit there trying to survive the silence before hearing the words “I’m sorry…we can no longer hear a heartbeat”.
I don’t think people understand how a woman leaves pieces of herself in moments like that. How a part of you dies quietly every single time. Smiling in public while privately grieving babies I never got to meet.
Then you both arrived…and somehow my entire soul recognized you before my arms ever held you.
People say so much about surrogacy. They say the bond would be different. They say maybe you wouldn’t be as attached to me. Maybe motherhood wouldn’t feel the same. Boy are they wrong.
What they didn’t understand is that you were never distant from me. Not for a single second.
You both were created from love.
From intention.
From hope so deep it brought me to my knees some nights.
This was gestational surrogacy. You are biologically ours. And somehow, God made that so beautifully obvious because when I look at you both, I see us everywhere.
One of you has my eyes.
The other your dads smile.
Your mannerisms, your laughter…all these tiny familiar pieces of us walking around outside of our bodies.
It’s almost overwhelming sometimes.
The world made me believe motherhood was only about pregnancy. But it is actually about presence.
About showing up
About sacrifice
About waking up everyday with a heart so vulnerable because two little girls now own every fragile part of it.
Before you,I thought I understood love.
Then I met two souls who would redefine it forever.
Thank you for making me a mother.
Thank you for choosing me.
Thank you for giving my life a depth and softness I never knew existed.
If I could do this life all over again, through every wait, fear, every prayer, every tear…I would still choose the exact path that led me to you
Happy Mothers Day to me…because I get to be yours forever ❤️
Still in awe of how beautifully this came together 🤎
