Bear loves his apps. And just maybe, I let him be on his games and apps a bit too much as I work around the house and catch up with other things. However, while my son is obsessed with all things Roblox and Minecraft, I do try to get him to do educational apps.
But let's face it - while ABCmouse is awesome, and some kid-friendly YouTube videos are cool,
Shout-out to Mike Bhand, for being such a gracious host!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Actually, it has been mostly smooth with a few bumps. Because there aren’t that many black mom bloggers, I am able to stand
The current issue that is stressing us the fuck out plaguing our family right now is where to send Bear to elementary school. We're not talking for a year. We're talking something he'll like for five years or more.
While we were assigned to a school, it's not one that we want to send Bear to. The Great Schools rating is lower than hell, and some online reviews of said
Lately, I've been reviewing the high-end of things when it comes to beauty. Now, it's time to review some of the cheaper products but I think are worth the money.
I often see the Yes brand at my local CVS (sometimes at Target as well), and have been meaning to try it for a while. In search for a new mask, I decided to take the plunge and spend the
It's story time, y'all.
Recently, I was called into jury duty. Being a working at-home mother (I write books in addition to being an influencer), I simply couldn't do it. I sent the notice back telling the great people of LA County why I couldn't serve on the jury.
A few months passed, and I received another notice from them: I was called in again and my "excuse" of being an
I am very fortunate to live near the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade. While I didn't get to see the parade in person this year (we entered a lottery for tickets and sadly weren't chosen), I was able to go view the floats the day after. I took Bear with me so he could experience seeing the floats like he did on TV.
If you ever come to Pasadena
I was in search for a new blush and I wanted something that offered pigmentation but not too much. The last thing I needed was to look like a clown.
Before, I 've used L'Oreal, Maybelline, and my all-time favorite, MAC. I figured this time around I'll go a bit more high-end. I guess I felt like blowing some monayyyyyy.
Anyhoo, while I was at Macy's, I decided to stop by
It's been a long, hot minute since I've done makeup posts and since I've acquired some new makeup, I'm going to spend this week talking about my new makeup! Are you ready? Let's goooooo!
Just as a warning, I might be posting the same photos since I'm wearing two new makeup purchases on my face, namely my blush and foundation. The focus of these photos are my lips. Muah!
Let's start
On this blog, I've explained how we celebrate traditional Christmas and Orthodox Christmas. We keep our tree for a long time, well into January. What might be unusual to others is really the norm for us.
Each year we have our tree, it seems to get better and better. I should probably put myself on a Christmas budget, honestly. I go bananas. Anyway, here are some pics of our new
Celebrating Ethan this year was different. I didn't cry as much as I used to (I'll get to that in a minute)It s, but the impact of his loss was still the same. After putting it off for so long, I finally decided next year, I'm going to get Ethan his grave marker.
You're probably wondering why so long since it's been several years (seven to be exact). Well, a
