My Weekend Recount: And Then She Turned One

It's crazy that by the time I'm putting up my weekend recount, another weekend is already upon me. There is so much I have to want to blog about, but the time is nowhere to be found. I'm working on a lot of things, most of which I cannot talk about right now because I don't want to jinx it. I fare a lot better when I work in secrecy. Don't judge me.

But before I started watching it, Igwe and I went out to eat dinner. He kept saying he wanted a big meal. Is it something I can cook? No, it'll take too long. Do you want Chinese? No. Italian? No. Jamaican? No. Soul food? No. Seafood? No. We ended up with soul food. Good thing he said no at first. We Read More
