So, for the past year or so, we've been trying to get Bear to potty train. After putting him in school, his teachers revealed to us that he'll do it when he's ready and we can't force it. So we didn't. We bought special potty training books, a potty that's currently collecting dust and might be given away when we do donations this weekend, and a special toilet seat.

So, I recently did a splurge on Bear's gift. He's an only child thus far so he often gets a lot of toys and really for no reason other than he's stinkin' adorable and Mommy and Daddy are saps.
This is a toy Maks and I were contemplating getting for Bear for quite some time. While I'm a little bummed I overspent on this toy (I found it elsewhere for
So, I'm sure you've heard by now the major faux pas done by Shea Moisture. If you haven't heard, here's a brief refresher:
They posted this ad, which is harmless on the front of it. Of course, the core Shea Moisture demographic are black women who look more like me and less like a biracial woman with Type 3 hair. And naturally, darker-skinned black women with Type 4 hair have
So yesterday, I posted my first article on Medium. Yay for expanding!
Anyway, I'll link to the article but here is the beginning of it. This story is dedicated to the good children, who kept their noses clean, never got into trouble, and still had to clean up the bullshit from their siblings.
This is for you, baby.
I’m sure everyone by now has heard of the story of the Prodigal Son.

(I told you I wasn't wearing black this time.)
First, Bear went on a field trip with his classmates (with Daddy supervising) to Audubon Center. Bear was rather impressed with a hut while he learned about different birds and plants.

Whenever I buy a car, it's always a car that I love. Not a car that I just like. Not a car that's okay. I have to be in love with the car. I don't change cars often and when once I do get them, I tend to keep that car for a while.
Let me explain...the last time I purchased a car was back in 2006 and it
Over the weekend, we visited the Ukrainian Culture Center here in L.A. for their Easter festivities. There were no Easter bunnies but there were plenty of eggs (eggs are a huge thing in the Ukrainian culture).
We went to enjoy some great entertainment and food (oh m gee...the food was bomb!). Bear wasn't interested in face painting but he took in all of the sights and sounds. Maks spoke with
So this past week, I received my #CharmVoxBox from Influenster. (Disclaimer: I received this for free and all opinions are mine.) I'm super excited about trying this and I've already reviewed a few things!
The Mott's Apple Sauce is actually something we buy on our own! Bear and Maks loved it and it's a staple in our home!
The McCormick Organics seasoning was interesting. I can't say I would purchase it
