More Eaton Fire gofundmes to Support!

Hello Everyone, With a heavy heart, I'm writing to include more Altadena/Eaton Fire gofundmes. There are a lot of families who can use the love and support. Please, instead of donating water and clothing (there is more than plenty of those to go around), donate and share the gofundme link instead. There are many families who can use the support right now. There are many families who attend my

How You Can Help Altadena Rebuild

Everybody all together now! How You Can Help Altadena Rebuild I have deep ties in Altadena, which is just north of Pasadena Let's go! Altadena is a hard place to describe: it's hipster. It's wealthy. It's middle-class. It's poor. It's everything. And it's burned down. Bear's school is in Altadena, and I often did a lot of work and volunteering in Altadena, so I was there often. And it's still unbelievable what happened

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

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.

Kidspace Adventures

So, a while back, Bear and I went to visit Kidspace in our neighboring Pasadena. We've never been there before so I didn't know what to expect. I will tell you it was so much fun! Kidspace is a science-based adventure park where kids can do science experiments, play with insects, and just get away from the tablets and video games. I highly, highly recommend it!

Anniversary Pics

It's been a few days since I've posted but I wanted to share our anniversary outing last Saturday: [gallery ids="7046,7047,7048,7049,7050,7051,7052" type="square"] The pictures are mostly in black and white because the venues we went to were dark inside. Shout-out to my hubby for taking most of the photos! It was really nice to go out by ourselves sans Bear. We don't do it very often and it was reminiscent of our pre-Bear

Shake Your Body To The Ground

Seriously...check out this video of Michael and his background singers brothers.

Do any other parents experience the same?
