First of all, what on earth happened??? I was rooting for the Atlanta Falcons - not because I don't like Tom Brady and Patriots, but because the Falcons have never won. Somehow, they managed to lose to the Patriots. I guess the best team won, so congratulations and respect to the New England Patriots. I remember when I had no idea what was going on in a football game. Then Igwe happened. He taught me the game, and I've loved it ever since. What's not to love anywhere when sweaty muscular men in Read More
Does Your Mom Send You Chain Messages On WhatsApp?
Sweet Potatoes, it's my mommy again. At one time, my mommy knew nothing of WhatsApp. She did not know how to download it, and when someone finally downloaded it for her, she did not know how to "enter" it. I would send her a WhatsApp message and then text her to go and enter her WhatsApp and reply me. She would complain about her WhatsApp being spoiled or how she cannot fins her WhatsApp. By the way, she calls it, Wassup - in the Nigerian accent. In December 2015, I put up a post about my Read More
Moms, What Do You Feed A 15-Month Old Toddler???
Ladies, I'm so confused. Ada Verastic is 15 months old, and I cannot figure out what to feed her. If I give her any more eggs and milk, she might start laying eggs and lactating.

I remember when my cousin, Toby was a baby and my aunt used to buy so many different things for him to try, and he'd like it one week and hate Read More

Sweet Potatoes! It has been quite a week for me. Nonetheless, here's the 18th episode of Verastic Life. In this episode, you'll see the effect a documentary had on us - especially Igwe. We watched a documentary called, Minimalism on Netflix, and it was kind of everything. Well, it just hit a spot for us. Yeere even makes a brief appearance in this episode. I won't tell you what she was doing, but it has something to do with the weather. Enjoy. And please subscribe. Read More
Why I Don’t Watch Movies About Slavery
I know I'm not the only Black girl who does not like watching movies about slavery, but I know that people have their different reasons for not wanting to watch such movies. In my case, every time I watch a movie about slavery, I become very angry and emotional. Again, I'm sure most of my people probably feel the same way, but I'm just telling my own story. These movies make me go through so many mental battles. On one hand, I believe that the only race is the human race and that racism is Read More
