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.

Breaking The Curse of Eve by Susan Wachira

Parenting
KShs500.00
This book is dedicated to believers in Christ who desire to raise children who can grow according to God’s will and purpose and fulfill their divine destiny. The book is intended to provide a sense of ‘urgent hope’ as well as give a good challenge to believers in the body of Christ. The author writes from a point of deep spiritual knowledge and personal encounter with God. She is persuaded that there is a hemorrhage of purpose in the lives of many of God’s children. Many encounter spiritual limitations, physical afflictions and even premature death and all these are traceable to the curse of sin. The text outlines the spiritual causes of infertility and barrenness that hinder the blessing of childbirth. She also identifies the root of human suffering that manifests right from conception of a child. She describes the forces that contend to cut short the lives of unborn babies through miscarriage, birth complications, neonatal deaths and even maternal deaths. The author provides proven spiritual mindsets and disciplines that can keep the enemy from interfering with a believer’s heritage of sexual fruitfulness and fertility. She draws the reader’s attention to the effects of misplaced sexual practices such as fornication, adultery and other sexual perversions and offers biblical formulas for purification of our sexual foundations. The book also examines the impact of inherited general cultures and practices that may affect the destiny of a child all the way to adulthood. She invites the Christian believer to be bold enough to make necessary spiritual injunctions which can alter the course of any evil cultural invocations. The author concludes by sharing wisdom on how to lay a foundation for raising children who will grow in God’s design and purpose. Her writing seeks to persuade the Christian believer to re-examine the blessing of God released in the Garden of Eden, to understand how sin interfered with that blessing, to deal with patterns of sin through salvation, aggressive watchful prayer and devotional life, and to usher in the Christian’s full entitlement. The book reveals the pathway to the full blessing of God manifesting through peace, health and divine prosperity according to God’s revealed word. The book speaks to young people who are entering into family life. It speaks to men and women who are daily dealing with spiritual attacks in the area of their reproductive health. It speaks to parents who are raising children amid interference from worldly patterns that seem to veer from the intended divine paths. It speaks to pastors and other spiritual caregivers who are daily seeking to impart believers for effective blessed living.

No girl is limited by Peter Mbuthia

Parenting
Rated 5.00 out of 5
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

Books, Business, Entrepreneurs, Parenting, Women
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.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff

Books, Parenting
KShs3,500.00 KShs3,290.00
Announcing a brand new, cover-to-cover revision of America's pregnancy bible. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's 25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy book--the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with over 14.5 million copies in print. Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new generation of expectant moms--featuring a new look, a fresh perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, the Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect... only better.

Where are True Parents?

Parenting
KShs700.00 KShs600.00
In Where are True Parents?, Augustine Rugutt explores ways in which parenting determines children’s behaviour and character beyond formative years. In doing so, he associates society’s changing value system, social pressures and use of technology with parenting outcomes, some of which are unpalatable in the eyes of society. He asks whether parents are truly aware of the impact of their conduct and action in shaping the future of their children. A fundamental question is whether parents truly know their children. On the other hand, do children really understand their parents? Such understanding is essential for a sound foundation for society. He makes the irrefutable case that poorly parented children are likely to be poor parents themselves. He challenges parents to understand that parenting is a God-given responsibility. As such, parents owe it to the Maker and the future of society to play their role as parents guided by teachings from the Bible. Step by step advice, most of which is informed by his work with Church, is invaluable for today’s parent.
