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 can be so filling. A mama just cracked a code!

Thursday 6 - “Mummy, can I have potato porridge today?” Wow! “Sure!” Thankfully, I have some leftovers. This mid-term break is not as hard as I feared after all. I’m smiling to myself now.

Friday 7 - Made a call to a Neighbour I have not seen since the year started, yet we live in the same house. Living in Lagos, Nigeria can be wild like that.

😊

Saturday 8 - Kachi and I officially makes The MACH FAMILY open to the public. Let us build wholesome marriages together!

I’m extending the invitation to you.

Sunday 9 - Ouch. I honestly feel robbed. The camera was set to the back, and we had no idea until after all the posing, dancing, and smiling. And the worst part? It took forever to get the children into camera mood after a long church service. I’m actually hurt!

Sunday 9 - God knew how much I needed to get over what happened with our camera moments at church and he made my brothers-in-law, Obi and Eze pay us a visit. I’m now very refreshed.

Monday 10 - ~~My mum~~ Grandma is in the building! Yay! She actually joined us on Saturday’s evening but we don’t have family devotions on Sunday morning because we always hurry up to church. We are praying together this morning.

Tuesday 11- Kachi and I are cooling off the day with a movie titled A Sunday Affair. “How can a grown man be in love with two best friends?!” It’s already past 11PM. Yawns.

Wednesday 12 - Okay. Okay. Okay. The night was so so good. I don’t know how to explain this. Kachiiiiiiii….hmmmm!!

Thursday 13 - It’s Mary’s birthday. Yay! We are having a house partyyy. Mary is such a sweet girl who doubles as my daughter and nanny for over a year now. It was emotional when she started sharing what she was thankful for. “I’m happy that God brought me here.” Aww!

Happy Birthday, Aunty Mary.

Friday 14 - I accompanied a music producer, Kingx vibe to the studio for some portraits. Gosh, I took some pictures and didn’t like what I looked like. Like, no way! Everyone kept saying it was the angle of the camera, but I don’t believe that. I should look good from every angle!

Saturday 15 – I am now at the gym to sweat it out and get my body back. Literally.

💪🏽

Sunday 16 - As a family, we’ve normalized wearing matching outfits in colour or/and in code to church. We are on red and white today. Watch A glimpse of our Sunday Moments here.

Monday 17- I’m at the gym again. I feel so motivated that I have subscribed for a month.

💦

Tuesday 18 - Kachi and I are curled up watching a Nollywood movie titled The Weekend. It’s a bloody thriller, and the suspense is already messing with us. Funny thing is we had just finished Conversation in Transit, so we basically jumped from one straight into another.

Wednesday 19 - I’m having a great time at the Secret Place today. There is a place I love to dwell. It’s the presence of my Father…🎶

Thursday 20 - Kachi called me after work to join him for an exclusive wedding dinner reception. It was spontaneous. I didn’t feel like it but he insisted it should be like a mini date night for us. Let’s just say I’m glad I did.

He gave me the top 3 reasons. I like this guy. 😅

👩‍❤️‍👨

Friday 21 - My body aches but I’m still showing up. Consistency matters.

Saturday 22 - We are having our family Holy Communion.

Sunday 23 - Kachi is ministering at the MEGA Teens Church and my heart is being stirred. He is teaching on Joseph, the dreamer and it is hitting an area of my life where I have ignored for a while. I’m crying,“Lord, have mercy! Show me mercy!”

📖

Monday 24 - I ran into a neighbour at the gate whose attitude had somewhat changed (toward me). It was different. It was awkward. I greeted her and got a mumbled response. Well…

Tuesday 25 - It’s movie night with Kachi. Yay! The children have gone to bed and we are now alone. Let’s do it!

Wednesday 26 - I am on the search for a great loctician to repair my damaged locs (Kachi rolls his eyes every time I say Maya needs a doctor. Lol. Yes, I named my loc’d hair Maya). I think I have found one and just maybe Maya would finally receive the healing and love she deserves.

Hair🪮

Thursday 27 - I am back at the gym today. The trainer says my tummy is soft and will be flat within a week of consistent exercise. If that isn’t flattery…

💪

Friday 28 - I went shopping for my baby boy today. He is growing up so fast that many of his clothes have suddenly become too small. I am almost in tears because I had to touch a part of my savings. Things are just so pricey!

Saturday 29 - Hosting the WC Youth Dinner today feels so nostalgic. I did this 10 years ago when I hosted the red carpet in 2015. Full-circle moments are really the sweetest.

God loves me too much. 🥹

Thank you, Johnero, the excos and the planning committee for having me. You probably didn’t realize you were setting up a destiny moment for me.

Sunday 30 - Yay! Happy Tradiversary to us! I can say I’m more in love with Kachi today than I was when I handed him the cup of wine to drink on that day in November.
