Calendar Cuties
In this shot we have two cuties, Olachi (5) and her sister Chineze (almost 7), both independent spirits and artists at heart. Proud daddy OBj says, ‘Chineze loves to paint and be creative. Ola also enjoys making things with her hands. And she sure knows how to handle a burger!’
Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
