But you don't care about how I'm doing. You want to know how The Artist Formerly Known as Yoda Bear is doing. Let's check in... Weight: 20 lbs.

I’m Not My Hair

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_5jIt0f5Z4&w=420&h=315] I've always had a love-hate relationship with my hair. Unlike some women who prize their hair and treat it like a prized possession, my attitude towards my hair has always been more of an annoyance than a blessing. You see, I have really thick, curly, 4C type hair and my go-to approach of doing my hair is always having someone else do it. I will gladly pay an

Baby, I’m a Star!

Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? I'm sorry. That sucks. Between trying to get my writing career back on track and still getting used to this SAHM thing, I've neglected this blog. Bad foxxy. I need to do better. For a mea culpa, here's a recent photo of Yoda bear:   M. started bringing up the topic of trying again. Ideally, I would love Yoda and his sibling(s)

May the Fourth be with you!

It should be no surprise to anyone who follows this blog that we celebrate Star Wars day. Oddly enough, there were no showings of Star Wars on TV at all today. What the hell? We don't own the movies (shocking but my husband is very particular about what quality he wants the movies in). It's only fitting I had a blog post celebrating Star Wars day. I think next year I'll

Length/Height: 25 inches at last pedi appointment. Diaper size and type: Size 3, Huggies Little Movers. Still waiting to find balls to try cloth diapering. Onesie size: Depends on the brand. Some 3 month clothing still fits him (Carter’s and Old Navy) but he’s mostly in 6 month and 9 month. Yeah. 9 month!

You Haven’t Done Nothin’

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uQCJ6PzRdA&w=420&h=315] I need a clone. Or I need more hours during the day. I'm still trying to figure out my schedule but the problem is it keeps changing. I think, when I worked full-time, I knew the beginning and end of my day so I was used to continuity. Even when I was pregnant with Bo last year, I had an idea of when he'll kick in the morning, when he'll

Highways of My Life

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UirPQf9vyUI&w=420&h=315] So what are you? That was a question I often asked friends and fellow students who I couldn't figure out their racial identity. Racially-mixed children were rare back then. In a classroom full of kids who were Black, White, Latino, or Asian there was always one kid (and it was usually one kid) who was racially ambiguous. Not so much anymore. I've gone to college with people who biracial and not just

Could You Be Loved

(In honor of Bob Marley's birthday and the very first song I played for Yoda when he was still in the womb...) [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_BcaI0i0w&w=560&h=315] I never had a post on here that's just Bo. All Bo. Nothing but Bo. So this post is all about Bo.  Both pictures were taken this morning. Bo is officially 12 weeks today and he turns 3 months on Valentine's Day. Crazy! I had a baby 12
