Ahh…fudge: An Exploration in Dirty Words and Toddlers

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJMZDBEL8Tg&w=560&h=315] This weekend, Bear learned a new word. Except it wasn't fudge. It was thee word. The F-dash-dash-dash. I wasn't around when he said it. In fact, I was only a few feet away. He said it front of our close friends and Maks. When they told me he said it, I was a little shocked. You see, despite the use of profanity on here, we really don't speak that much of it

We Officially Have a Preschooler!

This week kicks off Bear entering school. He only goes to school Tuesdays and Thursdays for the time being but we hope to take him five days a week soon. Here are pics from the first day: [gallery ids="4509,4510,4511,4512" type="rectangular"] After I picked him up yesterday, we celebrated by going to the park and getting an ice cream bar: [gallery ids="4513,4514" type="rectangular"] How exciting!! Grown up so fast!!

#ThrowbackThursday: All About that Lemonade

Before Beyonce turned it into a thing, Bear was dropping some science on it: Taken exactly a year ago! It was a pretty hot day in LA and Bear and I just explored Downtown LA before heading home. We enjoyed some pink lemonade at Wetzel's Pretzels before heading home.

Why is Preparing for Preschool So Damn Expensive?

I think this is the part where having kids starts to get expensive. You see, it's not that expensive in the first couple of years of life, IMO. Diapers and clothing, you can find on sale. Same goes with toys and honestly, babies and toddlers don't need that much. Shoes, that's where they get you because kids are constantly growing and at a rapid rate. When they start school, however...that's when

Being a Miser Can Be a Good Thing Sometimes #preschool #lunch

It's funny when you get older, you become a bit more conservative with your funds. I remember the days when I was a college student and I felt I was ballin' with my $10. (Hell, I still feel that way now.) Yet nowadays, with a looming preschool bill coming up, I'm finding different ways to cut back on things I don't really need to do as often as before. Notice

If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time

I apologize for the lack of posts. I haven't been on vacation, nor have I been unusually busy. I'll be honest - I've been lazy. Queen Lazy. Lazy rules everything around me, lazy. Mayor of Lazyville. But I'm back and with news...are you ready? Are you sure you're

Why Does This Boy Need So Many Clothes Now?

I'm forever buying Bear clothing. It seems just when I think I'm good for a while (read: a couple of months), it's like, 'Nah, bihhh....you take your ass to Target.' Except it wasn't Target calling me but rather, a different store. As we explored the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza over the weekend, I noticed a great deal at Children's Place. Now, it's not a store I frequent very often. Let me

You Need to Invest in Munchkin's Bath Crayons!

I have a toddler who likes to paint. And I don't mean little dainty, staying within the lines type of paint. He likes to get messy. He loves to get colorful. I know this because I spent the past week cleaning paint off my carpet twice. [caption id="attachment_4025" align="aligncenter" width="350"] Maybe I wasn't that animated...[/caption] And I had a very unfortunate incident with a red sharpie marker on my walls. (More

Happy Father's Day!

Today, I'm celebrating my husband (and our fathers, by distance) by honoring him for being such an amazing father to our Bear. Maks has really stepped up and gone above and beyond and Bear is just his BFF. So, babe...I salute you today!
