I welcome you to Ante Bee's shop


Some people say it's too early for Christmas shopping, but forgetting that Christmas begins as soon as we enter the Month of December. We parents plan ahead of Christmas since things become costly when we wait for 25th December to approach. Especially, whereby you have more kids say, 3 to 5 to buy some present; like dresses, sandals or X'mas gifts for them.

So today, I had the opportunity to take all my family for shopping at Mampong as today being Farmers Day declared as Public Holiday nationwide. All public sector workers and even some private entities like private school didn't attend school.

Before we going, in the morning I had to look after the kids for my wife to attend one family engagement around our area. I blended kenkey for my kids: Nkunim, Adubea & Darkwa around 10 am when my wife was away.

My wife came from the engagement ceremony when it was 12 pm. Since we had all bathed and dressed, we took our bag and walked to the road sides just about 150m distance and boarded in a taxi to Mampong. The shop is Ante Bee's just opposite to the Post Office as she gave me the direction yesterday. When we set off, I called and she said she is around.

Our arrival at Ante Bee's shop, my wife seat at the shop, collection of dresses & sandals around us.


My kids: Darkwa, Adubea & Nkunim all were very happy at the shop. They were pointing to what they like. In fact, Ante Bee has lots of quality items here. I allowed workers to bring different kinds of sandals for my family to see what they want. After all, that was the main reason I brought them here to select their heart feel items.

Since I last took take to measure their sizes for tailor and seamstress to sew their clothes, I decided not to buy already made clothes for them, with the exception for Nkunim who would get already made dress. I led my wife to pick one for her and it cost Gh ¢ 120. In addition to the 4 pairs of sandals bought for them, it amounted to Gh¢ 400.00.

After buying for my family, one would ask, what did I buy for myself? I didn't buy any item for myself since I wanted to serve them first so that later I plan getting mine. My families are at the centre of my heart and therefore have to consider them first in all things I do.


We then stood at the road side boarded in taxi back home safely when it was around 3:15 pm.


The rest of the day was used to help my wife take care of the kids so that she could finish house chores; washing utensils and cooking.


Thanks for your attention!
