It gets better but it's still pretty shitty.
For those new to the blog, I'll share this with you: over four years ago, I lost my firstborn, Ethan, due to incompetent/insufficient cervix. That means, my cervix shortened before term and since Ethan was just a few days short of viability, he couldn't be saved. He lived two hours and peacefully died in my arms with my husband nearby. That

Let me start this review by stating something that may not be important to you, but it is to me. I have a milk chocolate skin tone. That means I either match or am close to a Hershey bar (I use to match it but now I'm a tad bit lighter than it). I also have gold undertones. That being said, sometimes makeup and/or hairstyles that would look amazing
I actually remember this day. Not sure why I was wearing a wig because apparently it was hot enough for Bear to be shirtless. Maybe I was just too lazy to mess with my hair (it happens.) We had fun, tho...
You know, people used to tell me how fast it all goes. You're snuggling them one day and you're sending them off to school the next. I never knew exactly
This is a special review because I'm not reviewing a typical product one would use on children's hair. I'm in the experimental phase with Bear's hair, however, and as long as he's still little, I'm going to test drive what works on his hair and what doesn't.
(I purchased this from CurlMart so even though the above link is Amazon, you might find a better deal at CurlMart.)
Anyway, let's get

Have a child, they said.
It'll be a beautiful experience, they said.
Oh, you'll get some opposition from family members about you teaching your child another language...
Wait, what?
I'm not a native Russian speaker. In fact, I know very little Russian though my vocabulary is growing by the week. Before I was pregnant, Maks and I decided to have our children would be bilingual. I would teach them English while he'll
I'm not a fan of Shea Moisture. Nothing against them but I never had any of their products move me. I believe that something might be great for one but doesn't do anything for another.
It's amazing how one product will change all of that.
I've been looking for a new shampoo since my hair is quickly growing and I need something more for it. While the L'Oreal EverCurl worked great
Okay, I'm going to keep it 100 here: I was never a fan of cauliflower growing up. In fact, it ranked up there with lima beans and peas in terms of food I would never ever eat again in my adult life. (I tend to be a bit more lenient on peas but if I can avoid them, I do.)
Lately, I've seen a ton of cauliflower posts pretty much

One of the biggest lessons I've learned since becoming a (rainbow) mother is self-care. And I don't mean just mentally but all around - physically, spiritually, emotionally. As a mom, we're often stretched then - we're chauffeurs, chefs, accountants, maids, small business owners, creatives, lovers, wives, etc. It also mean we tend to neglect one area of our lives to focus more on the bigger picture.
I have to
There's no #RussianSoulSunday post...at least not yet. But here are a couple of pictures of Bear on Valentine's these past couple of years.
This was his R&B cover smooooooooth look. 'Hey Ladies....'
We were at an event for our local library and we made a heart. I'm wearing a necklace made of Fruit Loops and paper hearts.
This was taken yesterday at a local New Orleans restaurant in Chinatown. Seriously, there is

Hey everyone!
I decided for the time being, to suspend the YouTube channel. Honestly, we weren't getting that many views and as much time I spent on taking vlog lessons on how to improve my channel and interaction, it just wasn't worth the headache overall.
The great news is that subscriptions to this blog has drastically picked up so I'm going to pour all of my energy into making this Mommy blog
