Recently, one of my old friends made a dedication to her friends - Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Yes, you can say I know Kim K. by the third degree. Anyhoo, we all know the mess Kim has been in and the recent breakdown Kanye had.
So, I shared her thoughts with some friends (which was a mistake on my part and something I probably won't ever do again) and
Month: November 2016
It's been a while since I've posted a recipe that I absolutely lurve on here. I don't have a lot of time to chit-chat about this so let's jump right into it!
The recipe is located here. Personally, I thought this was amazeballs. It was a little sweet for me (I can easily taste sugar) but overall, it was great! It's also toddler-approved! Bear had three helpings!
Up close and personal:

I didn't quite leave but with the holidays approaching, I decided now would be a good time to take a break before it really gets crunk in here.
I hope all of you are doing wonderful and great! We hosted Thanksgiving at our home and invited my in-laws (including the mother-in-law I don't like) and family friends. It was the time to set aside differences and just enjoy company and
It's been an incredible three years. It's been a challenging three years. But I'm blessed everyday. When he was born, it felt like I won the lottery and I still feel the same.

Over the weekend, we surprised Bear with an early birthday gift by treating him to see his favorite homie, Thomas, and his second-favorite, Percy. (He loves Gordon, too, but he wasn't there.)
First things first, I have to show off the custom-made Thomas shirt I ordered from Etsy:

A question I get a lot (and from adults, surprisingly!) is how I manage Bear's curls. I would love to say it's just a magical thing and he naturally wakes up like that every morning, but no. I have to work at it.
Here is what I use and the various tips that could help you. I've also included my Bear's curly hair playlist for you to check out!
