Can It Be All So Simple? (To learn another language?)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m148vZDwJA&w=420&h=315] Raising a bilingual child is well...a lot harder than it should be. From the get-go, M. and I have always determined that our children will be bilingual in Russian and English.

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)

We are experimenting with cloth but still on the fence. We've tried blueberry/swaddlebees, which we both love. Alvas are pretty nice. I really liked the Kawaii overnights. I do know I hate the pockets and prefer the AIOs. I would love to purchase just one BumGenius to try it.  Though we

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

Let me present to you Exhibit A: [caption id="attachment_751" align="aligncenter" width="222"] Normally I tag my photos, but I'm pretty sure no one is going to steal this shitty picture.
