We Tried Home Chef and Here’s What Happened.

So, we acquired a free Home Chef box from our former neighbors. They were moving and didn't want it and asked us if we would like it. Since I never tried a home delivery food box, I was eager to try. Enter Home Chef. Home Chef is a meal delivery service that gives you ingredients in a box and you can prepare meals with the recipes that come with.

Bear’s First Day of Third Grade!

So crazy when I began this blog, I was documenting my high-risk pregnancy with him. And now he's in 3rd grade! omggggggg We're kinda at the Teenager mode of childhood. He has his own interests and friends, and well, Mom and Dad are in the background. He's had his first sleepover this year, and he often hosts playdates at our home. Bear even has his own YouTube channel. We're still

Happy 14th Anniversary to Us!

Yes, we've been married for 12 years, and together for 14. One day, I keep saying we're going to do one of those cheesy 'Tips for a Long-Lasting Relationship' videos, but honestly, my only piece of advice is communicate. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Don't go to bed angry; stay up and fight. Always be on the same page about everything. Opposites attract but they don't often stay together. Your spouse

The Best Ukrainian Music You Need to Know!

We listen to a lot of Ukrainian music here at the house and I can honestly say, it's one of my favorite genres of music. It's wide, just like American music. There's hard rock, metal, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, folk, ska, etc. Like, seriously there is such a wide range! So for this post, I'm going to share 10 of my favorite Ukrainian artists and hope you'll give them a

The Soft Launch of Ksenfully Good!

I finally did what I meant to do some years back - create my own Etsy shop. And then life took over and I literally forgot about it until maybe a month ago. I decided I really wanted to just stay home and work like I used to, and I'm angling to get back to that. I love being self-made, and I decided, why not again? So, here we

To My Day One, Sarah

I have a lot of friends, but I really only have a tight circle. One of the people in my circle, Sarah, suddenly died a short while ago. Sarah and I only met once, some years ago, but we were friends long before that. And we've been friends since that. We talked weekly. She encouraged me to do screenplays. She often bounced ideas with me about my writing. She

Happy Father’s Day and Juneteenth

I don't like getting into the whole online Twitter fingers debate on whether single moms should also celebrate Father's Day. For all I know, people are getting upset over what is essentially a Hallmark holiday. But today is the day we celebrate all the dads out there, so Happy Father's Day to them all! A special shoutout to my hubby, Maks, for being a wonderful father to our son,

30+ Cheap and FREE Summer Activities

Summer is right around the corner (and some parents like me, it's already here!). To keep your kids to be completely glued to their screens, I compiled a list of fun summer activities. I purposely chose ones that were either cheap or free because let's face it, you're going to be spending all your money on gas and groceries right now. Have fun!

The Best Meditation App YOU NEED!

I'm real big on meditation. I try to do it everyday, and especially after a good yoga session. It gives me clarity, puts my mind at ease, and plus makes me want to tackle the day and other goals. If anything else, it also makes me sleep better at night and who doesn't love that? I used to have a favorite app but it unexpectedly shut down earlier this
