5 Ways To Keep Ada Verastic Busy This Summer

5 Ways To Keep Ada Verastic Busy This Summer

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with HBO and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own Ada Verastic is growing everyday, as expected. As a first-time mom, every single thing is new and interesting and awe-mazing to me. For example, Ada Verastic recently started crawling, and I could watch her all day.

Journal #17: May 2016

Journal

Welcome to June. June makes it official that we are in the middle of the year. Also that we are in the summer.  I don't like the summer, but summer usually comes with events and fun activities, which is why I went for two weddings in May. Anyway, my May was an easygoing month.

Her fiance, Kojo could not care less.  There are Read More

I'm even almost sad that I didn't fail more. So let me tell you about my asun. It happened over the weekend, and this past weekend was a holiday for us because of Memorial Day. On Friday, we attended a traditional Yoruba wedding for our friends Mikki and Ayo, and then on Sunday, we attended their wedding in Washington D.C, and Read More
