Weekend Selfie Vibes And Story Time

Hi guys, story time 😭
So this weekend, a client placed an order for small chops and chose small pies. Simple, right?

Order confirmed. Payment made. Delivery done.

Tell me why I get a call later saying she’s not happy… because the pies are too small 😭

I’m like, ma’am… that’s literally what you ordered.

Before I could even explain properly, one Nigerian uncle collected the phone and said,  
“Ayo, in London when we say small pies, we mean the medium ones.”

Uncle… we are in Telford 😭

At that point, I had two options:  
Stand my ground… or protect my brand.

And honestly? I chose my brand.

I went back with 7 bigger pies I had at home.  
No charge. No extra delivery fee.

When I got there, I apologised properly, explained calmly, and just handled it with grace.

The uncle smiled, held my hand, collected the pies… and just like that, peace restored.

And in that moment, I realised something:

Sometimes, it’s not about being right.  
It’s about being remembered… the right way.

Anyway, that’s my chaos for the weekend 😭.

I’m off to finally watch Virgin River like I’ve been promising myself.

How’s your weekend going?

Check out my latest post, The Lie that changed everything.

With Love,
Ayo

Stop Attacking Monday: Why Thinking in Weeks Changed My Productivity

As July comes to an end, I can’t help but look back and smile. We started the month with so much ambition. Looking back, I realised something surprising. The biggest lesson July taught me wasn’t about working harder. It was about changing how I think about Mondays. There were so many things I wanted to achieve, and while I didn’t tick every single box, I’m genuinely happy with how July turned out. If you’re reading this feeling like you didn’t achieve enough this month, especially if you’re a parent, I want you to give yourself a little grace. The children are home for the summer. If you’re like me and your children have been home for four weeks already, I completely understand how overwhelming that can be. And if they’ve only just started their holidays, I understand that too. Summer changes everything. A little while ago, I shared that this summer, our focus is preparing for the new school term. I’m still planning to share the learning schedule I’ve created for the boys, but this has...
