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

Hey everyone!
I decided for the time being, to suspend the YouTube channel. Honestly, we weren't getting that many views and as much time I spent on taking vlog lessons on how to improve my channel and interaction, it just wasn't worth the headache overall.
The great news is that subscriptions to this blog has drastically picked up so I'm going to pour all of my energy into making this Mommy blog
So, I have a confession -
I used to buy the store bought waffles - Eggos. Now, there's nothing wrong with them or the brand. In fact, my favorite was strawberry. I've been buying them for years.
I also had a waffle maker for the past several years. Yeah...you read that right. I still bought waffles even though I have a waffle maker.
Several weeks ago I decided once and for all,

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

Godparents really are the best!
Bear has been blessed by many things from his godparents from clothing and shoes to toys to a custom-made picture frame.
And now, Bear has his own book!
It's a custom-made book about a little boy who goes on an adventure to find the name he'd lost. Let's take a look inside, huh?

What I really love about this book is how the boy looks

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

Questioning my faith.
I think every religious and spiritual person questions their faith and what they believe in. It happens. You think you believe something until a moment makes you question everything you've ever known. Sometimes it makes people do away with religion altogether, sometimes it makes people change religions, sometimes it makes others become more secure in their beliefs.
I'm starting to wonder if I was told a lie

Waiting my turn...
That's my theme for 2016. Waiting my turn. While that could apply to just about anything, it really applies to just one thing - pregnancy.
It seems like when you want to have a baby, all you see are pregnant tummies, people announcing their births, people announcing they're expecting...
And then there's me...with nothing.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love my son and he's my world. Every day

Before I dive more into this topic, I need to disclose a few things. While I have a broad view of the world and what things that occur, I also have a narrow view of it at times (which I feel most people have). That being said, I have to share some things.
Last year, I think by accident really, I was introduced to the Mixed Remixed Festival. It's
