I have to admit...learning another language when you're an adult is quite tough.
But I have to keep going. It's fun while I'm trying to teach Bear a new language (don't worry, Maks is speaking fluent Russian and Ukrainian to Bear) and learn more of it myself so I can speak fluent Russian to Bear at home.
So, here's a video of us teaching you how to count numbers in Russian:

So, I'm a bit late on writing this. Orthodox Christmas was actually two days ago when you read this blog post.
Ever since Maks and I have been together, we've always celebrated traditional Christmas and the Orthodox one. For those wondering, we don't have two days of gifts; the Orthodox one we celebrate with food, drink, and just enjoying each other.
So let's count the number of occasions we celebrate from
Let me tell you how many times I had to do said vlog.
Three.
THREE!
The first time, I had a pile of clean laundry in the background. Hmm...probably shouldn't have that in there.
The second time, my hair wasn't looking all that great. How in the hayle you're going to take hair advice from me and my hair is looking dusty?
So, the third time was apparently the charm!

We actually had a really good holiday over here. We celebrated both St. Nick's (an Ukrainian holiday) and Christmas. For the first time, I'm going to start celebrating Kwanzaa.
Now before any of you give me the proverbial side eye, I need to explain. Growing up, my parents never celebrated Kwanzaa. In fact, they'd never mentioned it. I didn't learn about it until I was in high school. Over the
So last Friday, the three of us went to the Light Saber Battle in Downtown L.A. Yeah, you read that right - a Light Saber Battle. I wasn't able to get any light sabers for myself (by the time I shopped for some, the last one left was a really cool Darth Vader one that $50. Yeah. Even though we had $50, I couldn't fathom spending that much on
I actually discovered this recipe by accident. A while back, I only had one egg but I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. Can I tell you how much I love Google? Anyway, I discovered there are a ton of recipes for one-egg chocolate cookies! But I found a personal favorite.
I usually make these without the baking soda (for some reason I can really taste it when I cook
Over the weekend, Bear and I went on a day trip to Palm Springs to see the Festival of Lights parade. It was Bear's first time seeing it and he loved it!
Here are a couple of pics -

On the left is my mom and I, and of course the second pic is Bear and me.
Here's the youtube adventures. Again, nothing too exciting but I just wanted to
Can I tell you how hard it is to do a daily vlog? We really don't have anything happening all the time to warrant a daily vlog so this is new to me. But I love a challenge and well, vlogmas is a challenge!
So check out the last two episodes as we're in the process of making a third one now.
Great news! I finally own a KitchenAid mixer! I
As many of you may know, my hubby is a local and upcoming photographer. To give a better idea on what he does, he participated this past weekend in Flaskmob, which is when many photographers, artists, and models gather and well, tear ish up in L.A. or where ever they are.
