A Belated Father’s Day Post

I have nothing to add but to brag about my husband. He's an amazing father and the best friend a Bear could have. That is all. All photos taken by me and my bae, @caliwinter

It’s our 10-year anniversary!

You know when I was planning how we were going to celebrate our 1o-year marriage anniversary, I was thinking of a variety of things. I wanted to do a photo shoot and have Bear included. I wanted to renew our vows and have a small ceremony. We originally planned to go to Legoland and use that as an anniversary/Spring Break vacation trip for the whole family. We had a

A Year in Review!

It's so easy to get caught up in the now and going to, that sometimes you forget what you already did. So, we had a pretty amazing year. Let's check it out from the beginning, shall we? We went to see the Rose Parade floats since we literally live down the street from the Rose Parade. And seeing the floats up close and personal: Then we had a family

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Nine years ago, we decided to forgo all of the fancy wedding planning and just get hitched at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. The original intent was to get married at San Francisco City Hall and then have a celebration for everyone. While I'm still salty I didn't pursue that original idea, I do hope to have something planned for our 10th wedding anniversary next year. Maybe not a vow renewal,

Bear is five.

It's crazy to think five years ago, I won the lottery. That's exactly how I felt when Is aw Bear for the very first time. It honestly felt like I won the lottery. Life couldn't have gotten any better. I just love this little boy so much. He's my world, my encourager, my coach, one of my best friends, and he's just an amazing kid. I love him so. I can't wait to

So yeah, we were totally robbed…

No, that is not a bait-click title. We were robbed. Sometime when I went to Costco yesterday and was gone for a mere 3 hours, we were robbed. The crackheads (I'll get to why we feel that way) stole two iPads (both Bear's) and ten dollars in petty cash. Now, it's story time: I went to Costco and made a last dash at Toys R Us for early birthday/Christmas gifts for Bear.

He’s the Best Father I Know

You never really know how your partner will be as a father until he is one. The same can be said for mothers; you just don't know until you're 100% responsible for a little human. I knew Maks was going to be a great father because of how big his heart is. He's super generous with his time and energy. He loves to give people benefit of the doubt even

Today I have a four-year old

  It's crazy to think four years ago, I gave birth to one of the most amazing persons ever. Like ever. Motherhood has been a challenge, no doubt. A lot of ups and quite a few downs. But I can't imagine my life without him. He brings a smile to my face when I'm down. He makes me see the bright side of things. He's my inspiration when I don't have any.

Father and Son

I took these pictures of Bae and Baby Bae over a week ago. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but hey, I'm rather impressed by how they turned out!
