Have a child, they said.
It'll be a beautiful experience, they said.
Oh, you'll get some opposition from family members about you teaching your child another language...
Wait, what?
I'm not a native Russian speaker. In fact, I know very little Russian though my vocabulary is growing by the week. Before I was pregnant, Maks and I decided to have our children would be bilingual. I would teach them English while he'll

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
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

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

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

I have to admit...learning another language when you're an adult is quite tough.
But I have to keep going. It's fun while I'm trying to teach Bear a new language (don't worry, Maks is speaking fluent Russian and Ukrainian to Bear) and learn more of it myself so I can speak fluent Russian to Bear at home.
So, here's a video of us teaching you how to count numbers in Russian:

From last year.
We often go several different parks in the area, though Bear has an obvious favorite park. Here are some pictures from our adventures in Grand Park last year during the winter time. Yeah, it was that warm enough where we could take Bo to the water park. I want to say it was sometime in December, given the NYE poster behind him.

Over the weekend, Bear and I went on a day trip to Palm Springs to see the Festival of Lights parade. It was Bear's first time seeing it and he loved it!
Here are a couple of pics -

On the left is my mom and I, and of course the second pic is Bear and me.
Here's the youtube adventures. Again, nothing too exciting but I just wanted to
Can I tell you how hard it is to do a daily vlog? We really don't have anything happening all the time to warrant a daily vlog so this is new to me. But I love a challenge and well, vlogmas is a challenge!
So check out the last two episodes as we're in the process of making a third one now.
Great news! I finally own a KitchenAid mixer! I
