That's an expensive question, and I don't really know the answer. In my experience, I though I knew more about motherhood before I became a mother. That's because before I became a mom, I thought I knew so much and understood so much. The reality, however, is that until you actually become a mom, you just cannot know what it feels like or what challenges you may face. Sure, you may say (like me) that you took care of or spent a lot of time with [insert random baby relative here]. In my case, it Read More
What Would You Do With A Personal Loan From Discover?
All views are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Discover Products Inc. and its affiliates Did you know that only about 3% of adult Americans actually know what a personal loan is?

How many times have I mentioned just how much I loathe the summer heat? It's not the summer that I loathe, but the heat that comes with it. If I have to pick between winter and summer, I'll pick winter. No second thoughts. However, I can claim to like winter all I want, but winter does not let me be great. Summer has something that winter does not have a lot of: traveling, parties, weddings, cookouts, graduations, and yes, fun. It's not that winter has no events, but summer just has so much Read More
5 Ways To Keep Ada Verastic Busy This Summer
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with HBO and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own Ada Verastic is growing everyday, as expected. As a first-time mom, every single thing is new and interesting and awe-mazing to me. For example, Ada Verastic recently started crawling, and I could watch her all day. The way she just takes off and gets to the other end of the room in no time, it leaves me amazed. I am in awe of this little human. And sometimes, I watch her and I cannot Read More
