This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night.
He was helping me write a novel:
Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures:
I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots.
Except he caught me:
And he wouldn't let go:
I finally got the shot I was

So, great news! Big news!
Your girl is going to be at the Mixed Remixed Festival, speaking on a panel regarding Parenting with Difference: Multiracial and Families of Transracial Adoption in Conversation. Isn't that neat? I'm so looking forward to it!
Yeah, I'm that excited!
If you're in the L.A area around June 10-11, come join us at the Mixed Remixed Festival. I'll be speaking on the 11th and Maks and Bear will be there
A few weeks ago, we took a long-awaited trip to see the space shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center. Can I tell you how wonderfully awesome it is in person?
Growing up, I remember hearing about the space explorations all of the time. I also remember one quite unfortunate moment (which I'll explain later), but I remember being in awe of it all. I credit my husband for bringing out my
So, I have a lot to catch up on this blog. Yeah, believe it or not, despite how often I post, I actually have a bit of a backlog! I guess I'm full of ideas (or full of it, take your pick).
Never mind that! This is a long-awaited video of Bear's shampoo and deep condition routine. I was actually requested this video a while ago but I could never

To be honest, I wanted to use splendiferous in a title for a while now. I'm not trying to show off my SAT score from way back when. I just like unusual words.
Hello family. How are you? I hope you're doing well.
Today, I'm reviewing Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. This is a product that is used to refresh curls, coils, and kinks and
So a few weeks ago I made sweet n' sour chicken. Here are my results:
I used chicken tenders and dipped them in cornstarch and egg. I fried them in coconut oil.
I'm not endorsing any particular coconut oil (I think they're all more or less the same).
Then I combined soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and ketchup for the sauce. For those wondering, this is the part where the Russian of
As I journey more into my natural hair care and lifestyle, I'm becoming more of a product junkie. I try to be as feasible as I can with it - I don't go out and spend a ton of money just to have the product sit on my shelf for months. I also don't continue to use a product if I don't like it and just chalk it up
So technically, this was actually our first Dodgers game with Bear. We've gone to many as we live not that far from Dodgers stadium. I just did the big chop so that's why my hair is super short (I love the length of my hair now but man, having the big chop was sooooo convenient for a while! Wash and goooooo!)

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
