Please Don’t Kiss My Baby On Her Lips!

I kind of apologize for the rant. Ada Verastic is 5 months old now, and I have learned so much. But I know there's a lot more to learn. But there's one thing I have learned about my pet peeves: I don't like people kissing my baby on her lips. I think it's so gross and inappropriate. I don't know where your lips have been, so I want them nowhere close to my baby's face. A while ago, we were with this lady who was a relative to a friend.

Journal #14: February 2016

Welcome to March! By the end of March, we would have exhausted the first quarter of 2016. Isn't that crazy? So, how was February for me? If I have not said it before, let me say it right now: being a business owner is HARD. Operating Verastic as a side gig is a completely different journey from operating it as a business.
