Our 13th Wedding Anniversary!

It's been a crazy 13 years. A lot of ups and downs, but it's been a solid ride overall. The one thing I can take from marriage is there must be a lot of communication and compromise. You also have to love and trust each other and respect each other's differences and interests. You don't have to be into the same things; sometimes, you don't even have to sleep

It’s Our Dating Anniversary!

It was our dating anniversary on July 25th. This is not to be confused with our wedding anniversary on March 25th. Yeah, crazy about the dates, but it makes sense to us. 13 years is a very long time to be with someone. I honestly feel anything after 5 years is a commitment and anything after 10 is an investment. I'm lucky we have a lot of couple friends

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

Our Trip to the L.A. Zoo!

For my birthday, we went to the L.A. Zoo. I haven't been to the zoo in a very long time and it was my first visit to the L.A. Zoo since I moved to L.A. some 10 years back. The zoo was much bigger than I thought it was going to be. In fact, it was so big, we didn't have time to fully experience all of the exhibits. Next

Summer Recap

We did a lot this summer and it was a lot of fun. From swimming to the beach to just enjoying life! Though I do wish we did just a bit more, I'm proud we accomplished a lot. So, let's go! Swimming lessons: If you followed my IG stories, we enrolled Bear into swimming. It was rather coaxing to get him to take his lessons and lots of promises were made

8 Years

It's weird looking back at our wedding eight years ago. Originally I wanted to get married in San Francisco at City Hall. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't stick to that plan. That was the original reason why I got married in my favorite color, purple, because I knew it would look great with the gold at S.F. City Hall. But it didn't happen. No disappointments because I ultimately got

Blussian Christmas traditions – New Ornaments

It seems every year we do the same thing just a bit differently. But I love that about our little family - taking something new and putting our own spin on it. As I've explained in the past, we celebrate Christmas pretty much starting from Saint Nick's until the Orthodox Christmas and New Year in January. We typically have our tree and decor up until February, though I've started decorating
