Recklessly authentic.
Hello Sweet Potatoes! Walahi, once I start doing these weekly vlogs, it seems like Wednesdays come way too soon. Anyway, in this week's episode, I spend quite a lot of time cooking for our out-of-town guest. In fact, I feel like the entire episode focuses on food. Food in my house, food in Solachi's house. But hey, it was good food though. Also, Ada Verastic does a bit of "dancing" for you. Enjoy. As always, thank you so very much for watching. And please, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE. Read More
This year, Igwe and I attended so many weddings and events. It seemed like they just kept on coming. At a point, I was even getting resentful of hosts who were gracious enough to invite me.

But what is going on with Nigeria these days? I'm talking about the Nigerians in Nigeria. Read More

In fact, it was only when I realized I was experiencing mom guilt that I found out I was not alone. Mom guilt is a thing, and I am actively experiencing it. I don't know if mom guilt ever goes away or changes, and I don't know if I'm feeling this Read More
You guys, my baby is a full blown toddler oh! and I'm not understanding how this happened. I still refer to myself as a "new mom" because that is exactly what I feel like. Meanwhile, some people who had babies around the time I did (and even after I did) have already had second babies. Yet, here I am still feeling like a new mom. It feels like only yesterday I was on here telling you guys that Igwe and I were expecting a baby. And I remember some of you thought it was a belated April Read More
