Recklessly authentic.
I don't usually blog in the weekends, but I sent out an email to my Sweet Potatoes yesterday, and I was so shocked and honored at the multiple responses I received, so I thought I should share the newsletter here. By the way, thank you to everyone who emailed and texted. You are awesome! This email was sent in the moment; I did not take time to go think about it and arrange it first. Enjoy! [Also, a link to subscribe to my Sweet Potato Mail is at the end of this Read More
So, we're back from our trip to Austin, Texas! It was my first time traveling with an infant, and boy, have I learned some lessons! I'll blog about this next time, but for now, let me tell you about our travel. We left on Friday, January 29th and came back on Sunday, January 31st. It was on Thursday night that I looked at my email closely and almost lost it: our flight was at 6:40 AM. What the heck was I thinking when I booked this flight??? First, I didn't go to be till past 1 AM. Then I Read More
This is NOT a sponsored post. I just want to tell you about the strange thing that has happened to me. Okay.

I'd never say no to ice Read More
Yup. Ada Verastic and I are traveling today. It will be the first time we both are going to Austin, Texas. I was in Texas some years ago for Chisom's fun wedding, but it was not in Austin, and Ada Verastic's reason for never having been to Austin is that she only came into the world three months ago. Anyway, we're going to Austin to see Uju. If Mohammed does not go to the mountain, then the mountain must go to Mohammed. Although, this isn't an apt example of Mohammed not going to the Read More
10 years old. I always imagined that when Verastic reaches such a milestone - not that every year isn't a milestone - I would be doing something huge. Like, I don't know, giving away lands in Lekki. Ha! Well, I have no land to give away today, but Ada Verastic did bless me with an explosive poop today, so that was nice. She gave me one on my birthday, too, so that was nice too. I'm guessing that's her idea of giving gifts for now. Anyway, last year when Verastic turned 9 years old, I Read More
