Dayquil Was Right … Moms Can’t Take A Sick Day

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Sweet Potatoes, let me start by apologizing for barely blogging last week. It's been hectic on my end. Igwe is currently out of the country, and the day he left was the day my body decided that it felt like having a cold. Like I mentioned in my last post, I was down with a cold. This isn't the first time Igwe has traveled and left me behind. Three years ago, he went to Nigeria twice, each time for exactly three months. It was hard, but I survived. This time, Read More

I No Longer Wash My Panties In The Morning

It is amazing how much changes with time. One of my favorite things on this blog is reading old blog posts and measuring just how much I have changed, if any. Take for example, this panties issue. It does not seem like it, but it has been four years since I wrote about how I HAD TO wash my panties in the morning. Morning = whenever I take a shower, even if it's at night.

Does that mean that I can't make fun of Nigerian parents anymore? Well, I still plan on saying and doing some of the things that our parents Read More

It’s Mother’s Day, And I’m A Mommy

6:58 AM I was going to write about Mother's Day on Friday, and it was supposed to be scheduled to be published today, but I could not quite find the words. I started several posts with several titles, but it was not flowing, so I stopped and promised to do it on Saturday (yesterday). Yesterday, however, between making us a big breakfast and us driving to a wedding in Washington D.C (after dropping Ada Verastic with grandma), there just wasn't the time because as you know, after a big meal comes Read More

Mommy Needs Some Love, Too

Garnier Whole Blends Hydrating Mask in Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk Extracts

Before I had Ada Verastic, I heard too many stories about moms spending all their time and energy on their children and letting themselves go. I did not think I would be one of those moms. Ada Verastic is now five months old, and I still don't think that I have let myself go. However, having a baby girl has shifted my focus and excitement from me to her. I'll explain. When Ada Verastic first made her debut, I was not as obsessed as I am now with dressing her up, but that might have been because Read More
