Dream Kids is made by African Pride, a brand I'm very familiar with. This detangler contains water as the main ingredient, shea butter, Vitamin E, and aloe vera. The following oils are included: olive, coconut, grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, wheatgerm, and

Trying to incorporate Russian while I'm learning it myself is quite the task. I'm a native English speaker. I know a little Spanish, but wouldn't consider myself fluent. I can carry a light conversation without the use of Google translate (too much). So, learning Russian is a task. It's a fun one, albeit challenging at times. I try to have one solid hour each day of teaching Bear Russian since all he

This is Why L’Oreal’s EverCurl is the Paramount

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="100"] Click on the picture to purchase [/caption] So, I've been on the search for the perfect shampoo for Bear. He has super curly hair. If I had to put him into a category, it'll be 3A/3B hair type. This is a child who does a lot of things with his hair - he pulls on it, he wipes his dirty hands on it, he has no qualms

All About the Bear!

  It's a been while since I've done a post on just Bear and nothing but so here it goes! Weight: Around 25 lbs. Since we switched to a new insurance, I haven't been able to get him to his pedi yet, but soon. Height: A little over 3 feet (3'3 to be exact). Yeah, he's a tall kid. Likes: House music. Thomas the Train. Super Why. Curious George. Dinosaur Train. My homemade

#ThrowbackThursday: Happy St. Patty’s Day!

This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night. He was helping me write a novel: Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures: I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots. Except he caught me: And he wouldn't let go: I finally got the shot I was

And this is Why NASA’s Endeavor is Awesome

A few weeks ago, we took a long-awaited trip to see the space shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center. Can I tell you how wonderfully awesome it is in person? Growing up, I remember hearing about the space explorations all of the time. I also remember one quite unfortunate moment (which I'll explain later), but I remember being in awe of it all. I credit my husband for bringing out my

#ThrowbackThursday: First Dodgers game

So technically, this was actually our first Dodgers game with Bear. We've gone to many as we live not that far from Dodgers stadium. I just did the big chop so that's why my hair is super short (I love the length of my hair now but man, having the big chop was sooooo convenient for a while! Wash and goooooo!) Standard family pic.

#TBT – Goofin’ Off

I actually remember this day. Not sure why I was wearing a wig because apparently it was hot enough for Bear to be shirtless. Maybe I was just too lazy to mess with my hair (it happens.) We had fun, tho... You know, people used to tell me how fast it all goes. You're snuggling them one day and you're sending them off to school the next. I never knew exactly
