So, this year, I will be doing something different. I'll be writing a lovely post for myself. Enjoy and celebrate with me. **************************************************** Happy birthday, Vera! You have been blessed to celebrate yet another birthday. Don't think of today as just the anniversary of the day you Read More

Let Me Tell You About My Nigerian Pepper Soup Baby [True Story!]

My people, my 2018 is looking like it's going to be my best year yet. It looks like money is going to be chasing me in 2018 and I will have a lot more than I can possibly spend, and it's all thanks to my Nigerian Pepper Soup. Let me tell you all about it. So, my friend, Uto was pregnant and due on December 27th 2017. I had originally predicted that baby would come on Christmas Day because I just thought it'd be cute to have a baby on Jesus's fake birthday (you do know that Jesus wasn't Read More
