I like to give a shout-out to Brand Ballot for featuring this blog in their Top 100 Mommy Blogs of 2018. I have to say that's pretty dope. I'm not going to give an emotional write-up and blah blah blah when I can just bless y'all with a pic of Bear.
To check out who else made the cut (and I have to say I have some really good company!),

We did a lot this summer and it was a lot of fun. From swimming to the beach to just enjoying life! Though I do wish we did just a bit more, I'm proud we accomplished a lot. So, let's go!
Swimming lessons:
If you followed my IG stories, we enrolled Bear into swimming. It was rather coaxing to get him to take his lessons and lots of promises were made
I don't normally share quotes but I thought this was funny. Anyone who feels down about anyone dismissing their dreams could use this:
I had many people tell me I shouldn't be a writer because there's no money and success in it. So, I worked a job (several of them) and I was very good at what I did. But I always went back to writing and I figured out
Getting back to doing reviews of vegan recipes, products, and local restaurants, I decided to try Sage Vegan that's located pretty close to me in the great city of Pasadena. You know about Pasadena, right? Home of the Rose Bowl, the Granddaddy of Them All, Rose Bowl Parade, and all sorts of goodness.
Even though Sage wasn't that far from me, it took me forever to find it! It's located
Over the weekend, I did a trek to San Diego to watch my oldest nephew graduate from Marine Boot Camp. My nephew, Malik, has come a long way and there was a time where I honestly wasn't sure if he would make anything of himself. Now, I'm not saying that to bash him (I love the kid) but sometimes you have to be real on someone's progress.
I'm proud to
Hey Fam,
I know it's been about a minute since Bear and I have done one of these videos but hey, this was super fun to do! In this video, we used the vast majority of Shea Moisture products (as we are Shea Moisture brand ambassadors 2018).
We used the Coconut & Hibiscus Detangler, and the Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Cream. I washed Bear's hair with the Fragrance-Free Shampoo & Body
I love Plants v. Zombies. I started playing the game when I was pregnant with Bear and have been playing it consistently for the past five years. It's a good time waster and it's really fun. I love coming up with different strategies on how to defeat the zombies with numerous plants.
They recently launched a weekly tournament where various gamers can play. Each week, a different plant is featured
It's been a while since I've done a garden update so let's get started on the successes and fails! Yes, I'm proud of my fails because it tells me to try harder. Let's go!
Fails.
It's only fair to highlight the fails before the successes. I'm doing this to show even the 'I've never picked up a tool in my life' folks that gardening is not something you just plant, water
Maks has been trying to get me to go to a gun range for years. I say somewhere between when we were first married to well, now. So yeah, since we've been together almost 10 years, I say he's been trying for a while.
After the recent break-in, Maks was very insistent I knew how to shoot a gun. We currently have a rifle in our home, but it's not
A home break-in ain't gon' stop the party...
We had planned tickets to go to see the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) and we went! Located across from USC and in one of my favorite spots to go to, it was so much fun!!! The crowd was live! The food was actually pretty good! We all had a blast!
And our team won!! Yay!!!
We were worried about how Bear would respond
