I Need More Ukrainian in My World

[caption id="attachment_4141" align="alignnone" width="1536"] Bear, 15 days old wearing a CafePress onesie.[/caption] The awesome part about being one-half of an interracial pairing is the blend of two cultures. We have soul food and varenyky. We're teaching our son both English and Russian. I've become a huge fan of futbol while my husband enjoys trap music (okay, the last part isn't really a representative of my culture, but you get what I'm

It’s So Amazing To Be Loved

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8zXldXQ6Tg&w=420&h=315] Did you sing it with me? On Friday, it was our sixth wedding anniversary. My hubby surprised me with the most amazing set of roses! And he did a lot of manipulating and traveling to make it happen as well! [gallery ids="2853,2855" type="rectangular"] Over the week, he celebrated it by giving me small things.  He gave me this card - And he gave me my favorite sweet, Sprinkles Cupcakes! So here's a slideshow

Our Lips are Sealed

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

A Whole New World

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIlu5rNfulE&w=420&h=315] 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 Can’t Go For That

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccenFp_3kq8&w=420&h=315] I can honestly say I do not like my in-laws. I've struggled for a while to write this post simply because I really don't want to put family drama on blast, at least not anymore. But sometimes, you have to call people out on their bullshit, even if they're related to you. Long story short, my in-laws do not fully accept Bo. Not sure if they ever did or ever
Meet the Blussians, Yoda

Show You the Way to Go

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSbKWEyASkE&w=560&h=315] For those new to the blog, I often use song titles to describe either my post or how I'm feeling. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't. But either way, you're getting some good music to listen to! Hair. All of that hair. An abundance. Copious. A LOT! While I like to playfully complain about my son's hair, the requests and suggestions to cut his hair are becoming louder. Apparently people still don't
Fertibella

Here We Go Again

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RclqsuLXlo&w=420&h=315] The waiting game. I remember years ago, when we were first trying to conceive, people kept saying how stressful the two week wait (2WW) was. Meh, I beg to differ. It's everything in preparation before the 2WW. Did I take the Fertibella today? We have to have sex tonight! Am I drinking enough green tea? Maybe I should've grabbed that pineapple and pomegranate juice from the store when I
TTC, Yoda

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)
