Introducing Sweet Potato #3 (And 3.5): Mojisola & Modesire

Another Sweet Potato is here, and she comes bearing a gift: her daughter – our Baby Sweet Potato. Mojisola is the name today’s Sweet Potato, and we’re getting to know her and her little human, our Baby Sweet Potato, Modesire. Mojisola shall be officially known on this blog as Sweet Potato #3, while her daughter, Modesire, will be our #3.5.  Our first Sweet Potato feature was of Enyemaka, while the second one was Nkiru. 

If you have no idea what’s going on here, this post is part of a new series on Verastic, called Sweet Potato Files. In this series, each blog post features a Sweet Potato (blog reader), and the reason is that they (you) have been getting to know me for years, and now, I want to get to know you. 

Now, let’s get to know Sweet Potato #3 and 3.5: Mojisola and Modesire:

Sweet Potato #3 &3.5: Mojisola & Modesire

 
A little bit about Mojisola & Modesire: My baby and I are both sweet potatoes. Well, because she is always looking at my phone screen, so I guess that makes her a blog visitor too right?  My name is Mojisola and she is Modesire (Mj and Des). I work in a school as the HRM, and I run a small business by the side.  I love to have a good laugh and just be happy (who doesn’t?).
 
1)  How long have you been a Sweet Potato?  Since 2012 I believe, that’s almost 6years now.
 
2)  How did you discover Verastic and why do you keep coming back?  It was through Gidilounge or was it Gidiradio? (that online radio station, you remember?) on Twitter. I keep coming back because of your way of writing, the humorous way you tell your stories and how you actually befriend your readers.
 
3)  What’s your favorite thing about Verastic/what do you love to read/see most on Verastic?  Ok, before Ada Verastic came along, I loved reading about you and your parents. But now, Ada Verastic is the star of the show. Some experiences you wrote about helped me in my own pregnancy and early weeks of Des. 
 
4)  Where do you live?  Oyo State, Nigeria
 
5)  One quirky thing about you?  I don’t like covering my feet when I sleep. Doesn’t matter how cold it is, even if it’s one toe, please let me just have air blowing on that.
 
6)  Three words you’d use to describe yourself?  Fun, considerate, responsible
 
7)  What are your hobbies/what do you do for fun?  I love to go on road trips. And I love cooking and hanging out with family.
 
8)  If money and fear were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?  Hmmmnn…..travelling the WORLD!
 
9) What would you like to see more of on Verastic?  Or what kind of new content would you like me to publish on Verastic?  Okay, I would love to read more personal experiences from you (but pls don’t go motivational speaker on us 😃). I would also love for you to reintroduce your cooking articles. I like those because it wasn’t too “professional” and they were simple dishes any busy person can put together. 
 
10)  Anything else you want to share with me (us)?  Just want to let you know that I think you are an awesome person (which I think every sweet potato would agree with).
 
P.S. Des just turned one.  This picture was taken some months ago.

From my heart to Mojisola (and Modesire):

 
I really, really appreciate that you feel befriended by me because honestly, that is what I want and how I feel about everyone here. And the fact that some of my posts helped you during your own pregnancy is such a blessing to me. 
 
Now, let’s talk about your need to have air on your toes. Girl, I feel you!!! Sometimes I go to bed wearing socks because it’s so cold, but at some point during the night, I have to take them off. And even if I don’t have socks on, I cannot have both feet under the blanket. I need air too. You see? You are definitely my person! You and I might need to do a sleepover, tehehe.
 
Moji, thank you for being a Sweet Potato. Thank you for sharing your life with us, especially your precious Modesire. She’s a beauty. And so are you.
 
P.S. The smirk on Modesire’s face is just everything. Ha!
P.P.S.  As I was typing this, Ada Verastic was being nosy. She saw your picture and said, “Mommy, that’s baby and mommy!”
