Mama Student is a mix of fictional and a powerful real-life narrative of a young Kenyan mother’s journey abroad amidst the demands of being a wife and having young children. The story brings out several themes, including family life, education, Career transition, Migrating, and settling abroad. It is told beautifully and creatively, also telling some bits of her native country of origin and life in the Netherlands while still blending and sticking to the central theme- the life of being a mother and a student at the same time.

As a mother, Mary Paul plunges headlong into her second degree armed with nothing but the grace of God and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her burning desire to restore her previous career status in her country, but this time around with a complete career transition that will see her overcome untold challenges to achieve her goal finally. The story begins with a high-tech career, and along the journey, the story brings out the price she had to be whom she finally became.

The mama student tale is one of enduring struggles and triumphs. It is the story of late nights spent writing code while the world sleeps, school runs, and study sessions melding seamlessly together, stolen moments of marital bliss amidst endless piles of work. It also brings out life abroad, offers very educative information, and sheds light on how life is abroad compared to Africa, where the author comes from. It is a story of love, family, education, travel, career, and motherhood.

Description

Preface

  Mama Student is more than just a collection of stories and experiences; it is a reflection of the beautiful chaos that intertwines motherhood and education. It is carries the power of love, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. From the very beginning, my life has been in between the responsibilities of being a mother and the thirst for knowledge and personal growth.

  As a mama, I have experienced the unparalleled joy of nurturing and witnessing the growth of my children. Their laughter and curiosity have filled my days with purpose, and their unwavering love has been a guiding light through every challenge. Motherhood has taught me the importance of patience, selflessness, and the ability to find beauty in the simplest of moments.These has been highlighted in the pages of this book.

  Simultaneously, as a student, I have embarked on a journey of discovery, curiosity, and self-improvement. Education has opened doors to new perspectives, expanded my horizons, and enriched my understanding of the world around me. It has challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, embrace the unknown, and embrace lifelong learning as a means of personal growth.

  Throughout these pages, you will find stories of laughter, tears, doubts, and triumphs. Each chapter unveils a piece of the intricate puzzle that is my life, as I navigate the delicate balance between being a dedicated mama and an unwavering student. Along this journey, I have faced obstacles that seemed insurmountable and moments of immense pride and joy that filled my heart to the brim.

  This book is not just my story; it is a reflection of the stories shared by countless mothers who strive to pursue their dreams while raising a family.

It is a tribute to the strength and resilience that lies within every woman, to the unwavering support of loved ones, and to the belief that education can be a transformative force.


As you turn the pages and journey with me through the ups and downs of this adventure, I hope you find resonance in these words. Whether you are a fellow mama, a student, or someone simply seeking inspiration, I invite you to explore the moments that have shaped me into the person I am today.

 

  May this book serve as a beacon of hope, reminding you that you are capable of achieving extraordinary things. May it inspire you to embrace the unique tapestry of your life, weaving it with love, compassion, and resilience, and let it radiate brilliance in the world.

 

  With an open heart and a spirit of gratitude, I invite you to join me on this voyage, as we celebrate the joy, challenges, and beauty of being a mama and a student.

No girl is limited by Peter Mbuthia

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,100.00
This book is dedicated to the girl child. The two main characters are the dad and his daughter, where the dad is encouraging her to be a curious person, to be a critical thinker, and to ask questions with the view of gaining knowledge and elevating her self-esteem and confidence and therefore setting herself upon an exciting process of self - empowerment. In a society where the girl child faces ever-increasing challenges, she requires mentors who will walk with her as she is growing up. The girl needs to be affirmed that she is equally competitive and that her dreams are as valid as for those of everyone else. The first and most important line of mentoring should be her parents, especially her dad, who should be fully present and fully engaged in her life. Important lessons for how a girl will relate to the opposite gender are learned from her dad. If her dad treats her well, she will feel secure and confident. This book is relevant for the boy child as well, but the author intends to pay special attention to the girl child.

Power Moms: How Executive Mothers Navigate Work and Life by Joann Lublin

, , , ,
KShs4,000.00 KShs3,299.00
Brief Summary For the first time in American history, a significant number of mothers are heading major corporations, including General Motors, Ulta Beauty, and Best Buy. Over the past several decades, women have made gains throughout executive suites. Yet these “Power Moms” still struggle with balancing their management responsibilities with raising children. Joann S. Lublin draws on the experiences of the nation’s two generations of these successful women to measure how far we’ve come—and how far we still need to go. Lublin combines her own insights with those of eighty-five executive mothers across industries—including experienced public-company chiefs such as Carol Bartz, the first woman to command Autodesk and Yahoo; Hershey’s Michele Buck, DuPont’s Ellen Kullman, ITT’s Denise Ramos, and WW International’s Mindy Grossman—and twenty-five of their grown daughters. Lublin reveals how trailblazer boomers, many now in their sixties, often endured sweeping disapproval for their demanding management careers, even as their own daughters sometimes rejected their choices. While the second wave of executive mothers—all under forty-five—handle working parenthood with less angst, they still lead stressful lives. Power Moms provides lessons and advice to help today’s professional women, their families, and their employers navigate this challenging terrain. Lublin looks at the trade-offs mothers are too often forced to make between work and family and the root causes, including the dearth of large-scale paid parental leave and other family-friendly policies. While it celebrates the gains women have made, Power Moms makes clear how much more must be done to make being a working mother easier.

On Becoming Baby Wise

,
KShs2,695.00 KShs2,561.00
The infant management concepts presented in this book have found favor with over two million parents and twice as many contented babies. On Becoming Babywise brings hope to the tired and bewildered parents looking for an alternative to sleepless nights and fussy babies. The Babywise Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to bring security and order to your baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mom freedom to respond to any need at any time. It teaches parents how to lovingly guide their baby's day rather than be guided or enslaved to the infant's unknown needs. The information contained within On Becoming Babywise is loaded with success. Comprehensive breast-feeding follow-up surveys spanning three countries, of mothers using the PDF method verify that as a result of the PDF concepts, 88% breast-feed, compared to the national average of only 54% (from the National Center for Health Statistics). Of these breast-feeding mothers, 80% of them breast-feed exclusively without a formula complement. And while 70% of our mothers are still breast-feeding after six months, the national average encourage to follow demand feeding without any guidelines is only 20%. The mean average time of breast-feeding for PDF moms is 33 1/2 weeks, well above the national average. Over 50% of PDF mothers extend their breast-feeding toward and well into the first year. Added to these statistics is another critical factor. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps continuously through night seven to eight hours between weeks seven and nine. Healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development. Find out for yourself why a world of parents and pediatricians utilize the concepts found in On Becoming Babywise.
