Trying to incorporate Russian while I'm learning it myself is quite the task. I'm a native English speaker. I know a little Spanish, but wouldn't consider myself fluent. I can carry a light conversation without the use of Google translate (too much). So, learning Russian is a task. It's a fun one, albeit challenging at times. I try to have one solid hour each day of teaching Bear Russian since all he

How To Survive Your First Toddler ER Experience

My Mother's Day weekend 2016 is something I won't forget anytime soon. We went to the #LALovesPrince concert on Friday and it was super fun! (To see our adventures, click here.) And then Saturday happened. Bear had a slight limp on the night of the concert and I didn't really think anything of it because he did walk around a lot. Saturday morning, however, his limp grew more pronounced and it

All About the Bear!

  It's a been while since I've done a post on just Bear and nothing but so here it goes! Weight: Around 25 lbs. Since we switched to a new insurance, I haven't been able to get him to his pedi yet, but soon. Height: A little over 3 feet (3'3 to be exact). Yeah, he's a tall kid. Likes: House music. Thomas the Train. Super Why. Curious George. Dinosaur Train. My homemade

#ThrowbackThursday: Happy St. Patty’s Day!

This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night. He was helping me write a novel: Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures: I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots. Except he caught me: And he wouldn't let go: I finally got the shot I was

Happy #blackoutday!

#Blackout is celebrating all shades of Black. More information is located here because I don't think I could explain it enough and do it justice. [gallery ids="2497,2500,2499,2498" type="rectangular"]

#ThrowbackThursday: First Dodgers game

So technically, this was actually our first Dodgers game with Bear. We've gone to many as we live not that far from Dodgers stadium. I just did the big chop so that's why my hair is super short (I love the length of my hair now but man, having the big chop was sooooo convenient for a while! Wash and goooooo!) Standard family pic.

Don’t Cry

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc&w=420&h=315] It gets better but it's still pretty shitty. For those new to the blog, I'll share this with you: over four years ago, I lost my firstborn, Ethan, due to incompetent/insufficient cervix. That means, my cervix shortened before term and since Ethan was just a few days short of viability, he couldn't be saved. He lived two hours and peacefully died in my arms with my husband nearby.

#TBT – Goofin’ Off

I actually remember this day. Not sure why I was wearing a wig because apparently it was hot enough for Bear to be shirtless. Maybe I was just too lazy to mess with my hair (it happens.) We had fun, tho... You know, people used to tell me how fast it all goes. You're snuggling them one day and you're sending them off to school the next. I never knew exactly
