Meet the Blussians

And we're live...again...officially! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2gEimLcfUU&w=560&h=315] So, we decided to go ahead and semi-document our lives. I say semi-document because we're going to upload on Tuesdays and Saturdays (making an exception today).  I'm keeping the blog because it's primarily about Bear and I while the YouTube channel is about all of us (even Sushi!) with special guest appearances by families and friends. So go subscribe and do all of that jazz. :)

Saturday Love

Here's an oldie but goodie: This was taken, I believe Labor Day weekend 2011. We went up to Santa Barbara for the day and came home. Come to think of it, we need to do that more often. I was about 6 weeks pregnant with Ethan in this pic. I don't know

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

You might be graduating from college. You might be on your wedding day. You might have experienced the birth of your first child. You might have scored you first big contract. You might have lost everything and wonder why you even bothered to begin with. That's the beauty

#FlashbackFriday

Okay, I missed out on yesterday's ThrowbackThursday's post so here's a Flashback Friday: This picture was our first family one with everyone! Pretty sentimental and awesome. We used this as Christmas cards last year.  I love how Bear and I have matching hats.

Mixed Kids Cope Different

(I'll get back to using song titles as my blog posts in a short while, but the last few posts were exceptions...) I'm Black. I have two Black parents. On my father's side, I had a great-grandmother who was half-White and half-Indian. I know this because I met her at the tender age of five and my first thought was, 'Who is this white lady?'. Over the years, I've had

A lot of kids are either returning to their schools, starting a brand-new one, or entering the final year at the one they’re at. A very exciting time. I remember being excited it was my last year in fifth, eighth, twelfth years and my senior year at college. Earlier, one of my April moms posted a picture of her daughter leaving for
