Must-Have Children’s Books for BHM!

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are doing wonderful and great. I'm back celebrating Black History Month with another post of book recommendations for you and your child. Are you ready? Let's go! I Promise by LeBron James When he's not scoring on the court, LeBron is a children's book author. I bought this book last year and it's become a favorite of Bear's. It has a lot of good

Visiting the Rose Parade Floats!

Every year since we've moved to Pasadena, we've made it a point to go see the Rose Parade floats the day after the parade. It's a fun activity to get out of the house and Bear really loves seeing the floats in person. We couldn't see the floats in 2021 for obvious reasons (and the parade was canceled), but the parade was back on this year! And of course,

2021 Year in Review

It's been one interesting year on Meet the Blussians. I got back into regularly blogging on here after taking some time off to, well, recharge. 2020 was a doozy and 2021 was only slightly better. It’s best to do this post by going through the highs and lows of the year with a spectacular wrap-up for next. LFG!  Low:  Bear had to stay home from school. This year found him being

Bear turns 8!

It’s so crazy to think I have an 8-year-old, but I do. I’m not going to lie and say motherhood has been easy-peasy (and any woman who says that is truly lying out of the crack of her ass), but I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.  Over the past year or so, I’ve read many women who regret motherhood and having children. I honestly can’t say the same.

An Open Letter to My Son

Dear Bear, It's a been a crazy year for you. You graduated from kindergarten under COVID-19. You were homeschooled and saw your daddy work from home, commandeering your bedroom as office space. You grew three inches and your writing has gotten better with practice. You've made a lot of strides in development and you're just so smart and well-spoken. You love Roblox, though I don't really understand it. You

Bear’s Curly Hair Routine

It's been a while since I've done a curly hair post so here it is! I've been trying different products lately to get a desired curly hair look for Bear. He's never had his hair cut (though he has had trims), and I regularly wash and detangle his hair. But sometimes, it takes more than water and a brush to get through it: I decided to do something new

Family Trip to LAFC!

I recently scored tickets to LAFC as a Yelp Elite Perk. While we were there, a Verizon rep upgraded our tickets and we were able to get on-field access (I knowwwwwww.....crazy, right?) After an experience of a lifetime and being this close to the players (we weren't allowed to interact with them but that was fine by us), here are are some amazing photos from our weekend! The black and white photos are

Shea Moisture Curly Hair Demo!

Hey Fam, I know it's been about a minute since Bear and I have done one of these videos but hey, this was super fun to do! In this video, we used the vast majority of Shea Moisture products (as we are Shea Moisture brand ambassadors 2018). We used the Coconut & Hibiscus Detangler, and the Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Cream. I washed Bear's hair with the Fragrance-Free Shampoo & Body

Thanksgiving Adventures

We celebrated Thanksgiving in my hometown of Palm Springs with my family.  We were only there for 24 hours (if that), but we had a lot of fun. Way too much food and my parents were anxious to get rid all of it because they were going to see Charlie Wilson at Stateline (gotta love the old folks who have their own lives. #goals). Enough babbling...here are the pics (no

Father and Son

I took these pictures of Bae and Baby Bae over a week ago. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but hey, I'm rather impressed by how they turned out!
