DIARY: A Full-Circle November to Remember (2025)

I've always counted my life in moments. Life, for me, isn't about the work I do or the things I get to achieve. It's about love, people, creativity, laughter, quietude, and memories made along the way. These moments are more precious to me than silver or gold. 

‘November to Remember’ has always been my thing since 2017. I journal each day of the month with one or two sentences that capture its highlights. We go again this year.  

November to Remember 2025

✍️ 

Saturday 1 – What better way to start this month than to be in the presence of my Father with my beloved sisters at Just Us Girls Conference hosted by Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo.

Feeling pretty.

I love it here.

Sunday 2 - This might be vain to some people but I look forward to camera moments with my favourite family after church. We always wear matching outfits in colour or/and in code. Here’s a glimpse 😉

Monday 3 - The children are on their mid-term break for the entire week. “Mummy, I am hungry” hasn’t stopping ringing in my ears. These girls have eaten 12 times today. My tired is tired! Ugh!

Tuesday 4 - Kachi and I are cooling off the day with a movie titled Family Brouhaha. It’s already past 11PM. And I’m over here yawning. 

Wednesday 5 - I declared today ‘Potato Day’ in my household. The plan is to have fried potatoes and egg sauce for breakfast and potato porridge with vegetables for dinner. The girls have not been hungry since they had breakfast. Who knew potatoes fries could be so filling. A mama just cracked a code!

STYLE: Intentional Layering (Ankara With Isi Agu Print)

I’ve drafted this post seven times and I am not even joking. I don’t know what angle to come from because my thoughts are not exactly coherent at the moment. Style? Marriage? Family? Layering? Parenting? It’s everything. Actually, it is about everything that I have come to realize in this 7 years of being married to the love of my life. 

Yes, on this day seven years ago, I handed wine to my husband and became traditionally married!

The Art of Intentional Layering 

Not to sound cheesy but I am so thankful and blessed to be married to Kachi. I’ve heard a lot about the “7 year itch” and how it’s the year where most marriages are tested. I TOTALLY get why. By year 7, most couples probably have two children. And two children really does change a marriage in a way that one child doesn’t.

However, for me, I can truly say I’m more in love with my husband now than I was when I gave him the wine to drink in my father’s village compound seven years ago and I can’t wait to see what the future will bring for us!

We definitely cannot celebrate our marriage without celebrating the three magnificent blessings entrusted to us that bind our love even more: Our children. When I look at them, my heart feels so full. I am simply overwhelmed with the thought that my husband and I are given gifts of this magnitude. Two beautiful girls and a lovable boy. Two sweet girls and a special boy. Three wonderful souls to protect and love.

Interested in Building a Wholesome Marriage? Join The MACH Family

For over five years, Kachi and I have had deep conversations with more than 30 couples (some of which we recorded and shared on our YouTube channel). We’ve also spoken with intending couples, singles preparing for godly relationships, and newlyweds who simply needed a little guidance. And one thing kept ringing again and again:

Building a wholesome marriage is work, and it becomes easier and richer when you’re surrounded by the right people.

That’s the Heart Rays behind the MACH Family. 

The MACH Family Community Is Now Open.

💛

Over the years, we’ve poured our hearts into creating more than 500 YouTube videos, sharing moments, telling stories, and offering lessons from our journey in relationships, marriage, and life in general.

But now, the vision is evolving and deepening. Something bigger and more exciting is being birthed and we want you on this journey with us.

So, what exactly is the MACH Family?

Being a Daughter Above All

Today, as the world celebrates the International Day of the Girl Child, I’ve been thinking about identity. About the many names we grow into and the many titles we carry along the way; woman, wife, mother, leader, creator, mentor, and many more. They’re all beautiful, but none of them truly define who I am at the core. Nwa…

Beloved Daughter

This was a birthday portrait of me resting in my truest identity.

Hey sweetie, let me remind you. Before you started answering to all the names people call you now, you were already called Daughter.

Somewhere between growing up and growing older, we often forget that simple truth. We chase relevance, we strive to prove ourselves, we try to wear every hat role with grace. Yet, the fact remains that before the world named us anything, God named us His own.

And that, right there, is our truest identity. We are more daughter than anything else.

May we not forgo remembering who we are. No other name given to us stands more permanent than that name. No other title we carry will surpass that one. No other calling is greater.

My Father is Dear to Me Because…

If I had known that the moment would be so beautiful as to carve a niche in my heart, I would have taken a shot of it or even made a video of it. I feel like I would have missed it more if I didn’t even try to capture it with words. So here I am on Heart Rays….

My Dear Father

This morning felt like a full-circle moment for me.

I sat there watching my first daughter and her father work on one of the homework assignments we intentionally left undone yesterday because we wanted Daddy to handle that by himself and for himself.

The homework was a composition on “My Dear Father” and who better to take it on with her than the very one playing the father role in her life? 

There they were, father and daughter’s heads bent together. Writing. Talking. Giggling. Thinking. It was such a beautiful sight.

Honestly, I didn’t realize how much emotion could be wrapped in a simple nursery school composition. That moment was warm and cozy altogether.

Something in me was healing. Melting. Opening. 

RELATIONSHIP: What You Should Know Before You Start

There are so many interesting things I like to talk about— from love to marriage, career to media, singlehood to motherhood, and so on. But every time I am given an opportunity to speak to youths about love and relationships, I feel like a big fish swimming in her very own water. I literally come alive. Gosh!

Before You Begin a Relationship 

📝

Entering into a relationship is not something you do because you just feel like it. It is not a random event in your life. It actually can be a life-defining or life-altering experience for you. So it is important that you know what you are embarking on. Like the Bible says in Luke 14:28-30, where Jesus uses the analogy of a builder who must first calculate the expenses to ensure they have enough resources to complete a tower, and a king who assesses his strength before engaging in war. 

The truth is that you must understand and be prepared for the full commitment and potential sacrifices required to be in a relationship. So, the question you should ask yourself is: 

Am I ready to be in a relationship? 

Am I?

If your answer is NO, then I am happy for you. You can move on to another blog post. Maybe these ones about Rocking Your Singlehood, Falling in Love With Your Life and Loving Jesus. Hahaha!

Kachi CG Releases Debut Album, ‘Love Echoes’ with 11 Tracks

I’m the proudest wife in Nigeria right now. Hahaha! This is partly because I watched it all happen. The late nights, the prayers, the back and forth. I saw the making of this album up close, and I can boldly say Kachi CG didn’t just create music. He released a message. A message of love.

And true to its name, it’s Love Echoing from the heart of the Father to His son and through the voice of His son back to the world. 

Debut album, ‘Love Echoes’ by Kachi CG

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kachi CG’s debut album, Love Echoes was launched on his birthday, August 3rd, 2025 and it was amazing. My heart is full! The album is not just a collection of songs, it’s Love Echoing from the heart of the Father to His son and through the voice of His son back to the world. (Okay, I have said that before but it’s worth repeating. 😉)

The album features 11 tracks. Each track carries a sound that’s deeply personal and rich. You can literally feel the love of God as you listen.

Here’s a quick walk through each track and the Heart Rays behind them:

6 Birthday Messages I’m Keeping Forever

It’s less than 24hours after my birthday and I still feel completely undone by the kindness of my people. I received texts, calls, DMs, posts, videos, voice notes and even customized fliers that made me cry, laugh, blush. . . and pause to just whisper “thank You, Jesus.”

So today, I’m bottling up some of those words like flowers here. This is for the me that might need a reminder in the future. And maybe for you too. Because words are powerful. And when they come from the heart? They stay with us foreverrrr.

Birthday Love That Melted My Heart

💛

Life can get noisy. The screams of the enemy may try to negate God’s whispers sometimes. On the days (like this one here) when I feel invisible or uncertain, I want to come back here and remember: I’m seen. I’m loved. I’m inspiring.

Here are Top 6 of the birthday wishes I’m holding onto:

• From Ifunanya Emenike (The MEGA Teens)

Happy birthday to the beautiful Aunty, my inspiration mummy, I'm inspired by how you can be fashionable and also prayerful. My mindset while in east was that those that dress fashionable are not serious with things of God, but now I take those words back because you've shown me that you can dress fashionable and serve God mightily, thank you for changing that mindset of mine and thank you for all your sacrifices for the mega teens, I pray that God's favour will always go with you , because his favour makes impossible possible.

Happy birthday once more and enjoy your day.

Wearing New Shoes, Many Hats… How Did I Grow Up So Fast?!

It’s my birthday!!!! What’s a birthday without a blog post?! I tried to have a quiet birthday but my people literally said, “No no, it’s already too late oh, no no!” I love it for me. Thank you, guys!!!

Wearing New Shoes & Many Hats

Freshest photo taken today: 26/06/2025

I can’t believe I am as old as I am today. It’s funny that I screamed to the world when I turned 20, 21,22, 25,26,28 and almost screamed out my lungs when I turned 30. Now, today, I’m like, “girl, you are not a child anymore”. Maybe because I am now mothering three children. Who knows? Oh my! 

Do you become quieter as you grow older??

Anyway, for some reasons best known to me, I thought it wise to not share any pictures of me today, June 26. I wasn’t going to declare my birthday until I got a Wordddd. I have been waiting on God all through the month of June. And finally, I received IT. Glory!!!!

Is Matching Outfits in Marriage Cheesy or Powerful?

I always knew we’d be that couple.

You know, the ones who match outfits, laugh at inside jokes, hold hands and show up at events like a walking love song. Literally. 😄 It has always been my dream. I knew I wanted to experience the love that’s very visible and vibrant. Soft and rugged. Deep and aligned. All that.

And guess what?

God gave me that…. and more.

🤍

Kachi and I have been beautifully matching outfits from the day we agreed to be committed to each other and stay together forever. We match not just in clothes, but also in purpose, in passion, and in vibe. Ah, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. I love love love it for me.
