Celebrating the Rams Super Bowl Win!

I'll be the first to admit: I'm not a huge football fan. It's funny to say that because I am a huge sports fan. I just love sports. I was an athlete in high school and college and I enjoy sports to this day. While I'm hesitant to watch golf (I mean, the shit looks boring!), I understand it. I'm also the lone member in my family who can't

Why At-Home Parents Should be Excused From Jury Duty

It's story time, y'all. Recently, I was called into jury duty. Being a working at-home mother (I write books in addition to being an influencer), I simply couldn't do it. I sent the notice back telling the great people of LA County why I couldn't serve on the jury. A few months passed, and I received another notice from them: I was called in again and my "excuse" of being an

Viewing the Rose Parade Floats!

I am very fortunate to live near the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade. While I didn't get to see the parade in person this year (we entered a lottery for tickets and sadly weren't chosen), I was able to go view the floats the day after. I took Bear with me so he could experience seeing the floats like he did on TV. If you ever come to Pasadena

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

Weekend fun with LAFC

A home break-in ain't gon' stop the party... We had planned tickets to go to see the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) and we went! Located across from USC and in one of my favorite spots to go to, it was so much fun!!! The crowd was live! The food was actually pretty good! We all had a blast! And our team won!! Yay!!! We were worried about how Bear would respond

New Home, New Start!

So, we recently moved. Yeah. I didn't mention it at all on this blog because well, it was hella short notice and honestly speaking, we're still moving. We moved from our wonderful neighborhood of Highland Park to nearby neighboring Pasadena. Not a bad shake! I can't get into details about said move other than the new owners of our rent-controlled apartment had a vision that didn't include the current residents.

Vegan Restaurant Review – Kitchen Mouse Los Angeles, CA

I decide to switch up the vegan posts a little but venturing outside of my comfort zone and going to a vegan restaurant. I've been to vegan restaurants before and I've enjoyed them. However, vegan restaurants can often be a hit or miss. Some have their flavoring down to a science and some should pick up a seasoning book, but I digress. So, I've heard a lot about one of

That time when there was a fire above our complex…

So yeah, it totally happened last night. We heard a series of sirens and thought it was just a car accident. Then we heard a BOOM! that shook our windows, even making  Sushi wonder what was going on. Maks finally went outside to investigate (with Bear in tow) and discovered a fire right above us. RIGHT. ABOVE. US. We live next to an elementary school and forest. We live next to the train

Concrete Rose

After our protest this past Saturday, we walked around L.A. trying to find a place that didn't have too long of a line for us to eat. We actually ended up going back home to eat in a local restaurant but we had fun walking around! We discovered a chicken coop in the Arts District and Bear had a ton of fun!
