Recently, all three of us (really, Maks and Bear) went to see our great friends, Ian and Josh, as they did their new podcast adventure, Mom's Garage. The focus was on Maks as he spoke about his photography. He also touched on how he dealt with Ethan's death, and how photography really helped me become a better man.
Bear clearly stole the show and he gets an interview as well!

I have a love/hate relationship with IKEA as I think a lot of people do. If you want cheap furniture and what-not, it's your place. Sometimes that cheap furniture might really turn out to be a bust but that's the risk you take.
We decided to furnish our entire home with mostly IKEA items. (No, this is not a sponsored post.) We decided on that for two reasons: Bear and
I’m a lifelong fan of Michael Jackson. Have been for years. I love MJ so much, I even introduced him to my son, who’s still trying to grasp why he looked one way in one year (Thriller) but completely different in another year (This Is It). I’ll explain it to him when he’s old enough.
Never mind my parenting duties, as much of a fan I am of MJ’s, I
Choosing a good elementary school is rolling the dice. You honestly just don't know what you're going to get. You hope to get a Lucky 7 but you might end up with snake eyes.
After some careful deliberation and going back and forth, we ended up choosing an Arts school for Bear. Our other choices were a Quaker elementary school and a STEM school.
So, you're probably wondering why we made

It's been a hella long time since I posted anything vegan on here. Laziness is really the excuse.
Now that's out of the way, lol, let me talk to you about a recipe I just found - tempeh tacos.
I noticed a lot of vegan recipes use a lot of the same ingredients - tofu, tempeh, and jackfruit - in various forms. While it might be exciting at
I know, I know, I know...maybe my old ass shouldn't be shopping at Forever 21.
I'm not trying to be like one of those "cool moms" who's trying to be hip and cool. Sometimes, I just like a good deal.
And buy 2, get one free for any jewelry is a pretty good deal.
Yo, check these out!
This reminds me of the old-school door-knocker earrings from way back when. These are plastic
I recently scored tickets to LAFC as a Yelp Elite Perk. While we were there, a Verizon rep upgraded our tickets and we were able to get on-field access (I knowwwwwww.....crazy, right?)
After an experience of a lifetime and being this close to the players (we weren't allowed to interact with them but that was fine by us), here are are some amazing photos from our weekend!

I'm always in search for something to just exfoliate the hell out of my skin without making me look like a leper. After a recent visit to the WeHo NARS store, I decided to get a little more fancy with my skin care for once.
Now don't get me wrong - I love finding a good deal and I often shop at Target, CVS, WalMart, with the occasional Sephora and
Nine years ago, we decided to forgo all of the fancy wedding planning and just get hitched at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. The original intent was to get married at San Francisco City Hall and then have a celebration for everyone.
While I'm still salty I didn't pursue that original idea, I do hope to have something planned for our 10th wedding anniversary next year. Maybe not a vow renewal,
