There's no #RussianSoulSunday post...at least not yet. But here are a couple of pictures of Bear on Valentine's these past couple of years.
This was his R&B cover smooooooooth look. 'Hey Ladies....'
We were at an event for our local library and we made a heart. I'm wearing a necklace made of Fruit Loops and paper hearts.
This was taken yesterday at a local New Orleans restaurant in Chinatown. Seriously, there is

To co-sleep or nah?
For a peculiar reason, cosleeping/bedsharing is a hot topic in the family/parenting world. I never quite understood why until I became a parent. There are many pros and cons and I'm sure, even if you're not a parent, you can think of them.
But this blog post isn't about that. It's about our experiences thus far in the land of co-sleeping.
It wasn't something we intended to
As I'm working on editing our biracial hair care review of Just for Me hair milk, here are a series of photos from Bear and me during the past couple of years. I decided to do the big chop back in the summer 2014 partially because I wanted a change, partially because my postpartum hair loss was frightening (read: no edges). The pictures are in order from first chop

I really don't like giving unsolicited parenting advice to other parents. It's pretty simple: 1) It's not my kid, and 2) it's not my kid. See? Pretty simple. While I may not agree with some parenting choices and I may have to silently question the type of parents they are, I also have to check myself. These are people who's doing the best they can or they have

I have to admit...learning another language when you're an adult is quite tough.
But I have to keep going. It's fun while I'm trying to teach Bear a new language (don't worry, Maks is speaking fluent Russian and Ukrainian to Bear) and learn more of it myself so I can speak fluent Russian to Bear at home.
So, here's a video of us teaching you how to count numbers in Russian:

Here are some photos from Bear from the past year. Gosh, it's so crazy these photos were actually taken around this time last year!

As you may have noticed in one picture, there's a sidecar next to our bed. I'll share our adventures in co-sleeping in a future blog post coming soon. No, we're not doing it intentionally but it's not too bad.

It's funny when you become an expectant parent.*
There is just so....much...shit...to choose from. Really, there is.
And every company is like a drug dealer...'Hey baby...you know want this high chair. It'll make you feel real good.'
So, today's post is about the hits and misses of things we had purchased or used over the past two years. If I can save you a bit of heartache (and money!), I've done

That one time I spent $45 at the Gap.
Don't get me wrong. I love the Gap. I like Old Navy and sometimes when I can afford it, Banana Republic (since they're all under the same umbrella). Bear has quite a few clothes from Old Navy and the Gap and I had all of my maternity wardrobe from Old Navy (I was heavily pregnant during the summer so my
Let me tell you how many times I had to do said vlog.
Three.
THREE!
The first time, I had a pile of clean laundry in the background. Hmm...probably shouldn't have that in there.
The second time, my hair wasn't looking all that great. How in the hayle you're going to take hair advice from me and my hair is looking dusty?
So, the third time was apparently the charm!
