Bear turns 9!

It's so crazy to think how 9 years ago, our world was turned upside down. Bear has been a joy to watch and raise. It's fun and exciting to see him become his own person and I'm so thankful each day. So, in honor of Bear, here are some fun facts (like he likes to say!): He loves to code and has created a few games on Roblox. He has

The Best Cheap Shampoos and Conditioners!

Okay, so I wash my hair pretty often, say about 2-3 times a week. I wash Bear's hair just as much. Needless to say, we go through a lot of shampoo and conditioner. While I have my splurge faves, I also want to share some really amazing cheap finds! Now for sake of what is actually considered to be cheap, we're going to go with products that are less

12 Years a Wife?

I've seen that hashtag for a while. Now, to clarify, it's a play on 12 Years a Slave, and if you've seen the movie, you wouldn't dare to use that as a hashtag to celebrate your wifedom/anniversary. So, why am I saying this? Because today is our 12-year wedding anniversary. It's been an interesting past two years. We had to deal with Covid for the big 10-year anniversary, and

Dear In-Laws: Stop With the Gotdamn Gender Roles

So, once again, I hosted my in-laws. Yes, those in-laws. The racist-ass ones. The ones that can't absolutely shut the fuck up if they were offered wealth beyond their dreams. I put on my 'I'm going to pretend I like you for a few hours' face and hosted them as we had a family gathering. With the usual this is what you should be doing with your life and

10 Pandemic Parenting Lessons I’ve Learned

It's crazy to think where the world was around this time back in 2020 to where we are now. I've stopped assuming it'll get better and just only hope it won't get worse. Being a parent during the pandemic has had its own set of challenges. From online learning to canceled playdates to cautiously-prepared playdates, it's been a rollercoaster. Keeping Bear focused and on task has been an even

Must-Have Children’s Books for BHM!

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are doing wonderful and great. I'm back celebrating Black History Month with another post of book recommendations for you and your child. Are you ready? Let's go! I Promise by LeBron James When he's not scoring on the court, LeBron is a children's book author. I bought this book last year and it's become a favorite of Bear's. It has a lot of good

Visiting the Rose Parade Floats!

Every year since we've moved to Pasadena, we've made it a point to go see the Rose Parade floats the day after the parade. It's a fun activity to get out of the house and Bear really loves seeing the floats in person. We couldn't see the floats in 2021 for obvious reasons (and the parade was canceled), but the parade was back on this year! And of course,

Bear turns 8!

It’s so crazy to think I have an 8-year-old, but I do. I’m not going to lie and say motherhood has been easy-peasy (and any woman who says that is truly lying out of the crack of her ass), but I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.  Over the past year or so, I’ve read many women who regret motherhood and having children. I honestly can’t say the same.

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

Shea Moisture Curly Hair Demo!

Hey Fam, I know it's been about a minute since Bear and I have done one of these videos but hey, this was super fun to do! In this video, we used the vast majority of Shea Moisture products (as we are Shea Moisture brand ambassadors 2018). We used the Coconut & Hibiscus Detangler, and the Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Cream. I washed Bear's hair with the Fragrance-Free Shampoo & Body
