Since I was pregnant with Bear, my nose has been rather sensitive. Stores like Lush, I can't enter anymore due to my nose will just go haywire and a sneezing fit will ensure follow. (I do have a light tolerance for my fave, Bath & Body Works but even then, my visits to the store are few and far between.)
As I'm trying to go a bit natural and leave

It's unofficially summertime and if your child has curly hair, it's a trying time! While our hair (Type 3 and Type 4) is rather resilient, it can also be rather problematic at times.
Here are some tips to keep your (and your child's!) hair looking fresh this summer, no matter what your hair type is:
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep your child's hair moisturized.
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.

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
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
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!

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,
Just putting it out there - I'm not pregnant. Not yet.
However, my neighbor's twin sister is pregnant and due any day. I recently attended her baby shower and I picked up some super cute baby girl clothing. I spent much more than I'd intended, but I couldn't help it. Shopping for babies is so much fun!!
Anyway, if you're having a baby, just had one, or knows someone who is
Over the weekend, my puppy, Shorty, died.
He was 14 years old and was in poor health for a short while. He had a series of seizures and my mom finally took him to the clinic where the vet confirmed the seizures were actually heart attacks and Shorty had cognitive heart failure. She gave my mom medication and I hoped that would've extended his life.
