#TBT Our time at the #mixedremixed festival!

I'm going to start doing Throwback Thursdays again to play catch-up on this blog. But anyhoo, here are some pics from our time at the Mixed Remixed Festival this year. I'm thinking about applying to be a panelist for next year's festival. [gallery ids="1476,1475,1474,1472,1473" type="slideshow"]

Vlogmas, Schogmas…

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

Beyond Black or White…

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdSohoIEWuQ&w=560&h=315] Recently, actor Taye Diggs made a controversial statement regarding his biracial son. In short, he said he wants his son to embrace being biracial and not choose between being Black or White. Needless to say, it got real in these internet streets! While I do applaud Mr. Diggs for being aware of the challenges his son might face, I also have to side-eye him. (And his defense didn't help matters,

Happy Birthday, Bear!

This past Saturday marked Bear's 2nd birthday. We decided to do something small because he's just turning 2. Nothing against those who do big parties for their toddlers, but we'll probably start doing those once he's in preschool/child care so he has more friends of his age to play with. In surprising news, my racist-in-denial in-laws decided they actually want to be grandparents for a change. Yeah, you read that

Nothing Even Matters

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aDIqM0n0Eg&w=560&h=315] Nothing new to update here. Today, I'm 12 DPO and I did test this morning. BFN. Honestly, I'm not that bummed about it. This past month was really shot because of the heat wave and our timing wasn't great. It wasn't like Cycle #2 where we really tried and still failed (that feeling really sucks, btw). So I'm hoping Cycle #4 is our lucky one. I've slacked on my daily walks so

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

The Thrill is Gone

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fk2prKnYnI&w=560&h=315] The excitement is kinda gone. It's been so long since we've TTC'd that I truly forgot how emotionally exhausting it is. Last cycle was a blow to us since we thought it was going to be our month. Even my pregnancy tests were, I feel, inconclusive. Not stark white negative but something was kinda there almost positive. As we all know, almost doesn't count. So here we are, gearing up for

Flashback Friday – Pumpkin Patch edition

It's amazing how small he was last year around this time! We took him to his first pumpkin patch and he was a little overwhelmed. After all, he'd never seen a pumpkin before, let alone a ton of them! Here are some pics from it last year. I really do miss that hair color. Really, it were colors. I love this photo. So touching. <3 Whoa! What is this? A bit overwhelmed puffs. Searching for
