#ThrowbackThursday: Happy St. Patty’s Day!

This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night. He was helping me write a novel: Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures: I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots. Except he caught me: And he wouldn't let go: I finally got the shot I was

Why Bear’s Hair is full of Wonderful

So, I have a lot to catch up on this blog. Yeah, believe it or not, despite how often I post, I actually have a bit of a backlog! I guess I'm full of ideas (or full of it, take your pick). Never mind that! This is a long-awaited video of Bear's shampoo and deep condition routine. I was actually requested this video a while ago but I could never

#tbt – Natural Hair Care Edition

As I'm working on editing our biracial hair care review of Just for Me hair milk, here are a series of photos from Bear and me during the past couple of years. I decided to do the big chop back in the summer 2014 partially because I wanted a change, partially because my postpartum hair loss was frightening (read: no edges). The pictures are in order from first chop

You Haven’t Done Nothing

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uQCJ6PzRdA&w=420&h=315] I really don't like giving unsolicited parenting advice to other parents. It's pretty simple: 1) It's not my kid, and 2) it's not my kid. See? Pretty simple. While I may not agree with some parenting choices and I may have to silently question the type of parents they are, I also have to check myself. These are people who's doing the best they can or they have

A Whole New World

While I have a broad view of the world and what things that occur, I also have a narrow view of it at times (which I feel most people have). That being said, I have to share some things. Last year, I think by accident really, I was introduced to the Mixed Remixed Festival. It's

#TBT – That time he could fit into a sink.

It's amazing how small they were and how big they've become in just a couple of years. I also love this photo set because you can tell it was one of the first times he actually studied his features up close, like whoa! [gallery ids="1864,1865" type="rectangular"]

Get Like Me

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPz7LCybSNk&w=560&h=315] I have to admit...learning another language when you're an adult is quite tough. But I have to keep going. It's fun while I'm trying to teach Bear a new language (don't worry, Maks is speaking fluent Russian and Ukrainian to Bear) and learn more of it myself so I can speak fluent Russian to Bear at home. So, here's a video of us teaching you how to count numbers in Russian: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3J80zwYvBc&w=560&h=315] And

Mixed Hair Review – Dark & Lovely Edition

Let me tell you how many times I had to do said vlog. Three. THREE! The first time, I had a pile of clean laundry in the background. Hmm...probably shouldn't have that in there. The second time, my hair wasn't looking all that great. How in the hayle you're going to take hair advice from me and my hair is looking dusty? So, the third time was apparently the charm!
