Bear’s All Week Long Birthday Celebration!

So, when a child turns 5, it's a big deal. One, you can actually use your entire hand for your age and probably the only time you can do it. Second, you're at that age where you're considered to be a little big kid. Not a big kid like the 7 year olds and up, but you're no longer considered a toddler.  And plus, five is the cool age. You

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

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

Today I have a four-year old

  It's crazy to think four years ago, I gave birth to one of the most amazing persons ever. Like ever. Motherhood has been a challenge, no doubt. A lot of ups and quite a few downs. But I can't imagine my life without him. He brings a smile to my face when I'm down. He makes me see the bright side of things. He's my inspiration when I don't have any.

School Pictures

It's occurred to me that I'll never really posted Bear's school pictures before. These came out pretty good! But honey, let me tell you...getting this kid to keep still and smile took a lot more effort than I expected it to! People keep telling me and Maks to put Bear into modeling. We are contemplating it when he's older and he wants to do it (I honestly don't have time

Is Code-A-Pillar Worth the Money?

So, I recently did a splurge on Bear's gift. He's an only child thus far so he often gets a lot of toys and really for no reason other than he's stinkin' adorable and Mommy and Daddy are saps. This is a toy Maks and I were contemplating getting for Bear for quite some time. While I'm a little bummed I overspent on this toy (I found it elsewhere for

Chalk and Crayons

Lately, I've been teaching Bear more of his numbers, shapes, and colors, in addition to what he learns at school. I'm proud to say now he can count up to 30 and he knows his American alphabet pretty well. While he's at school part-time, he's with me (us) full-time for the remaining days of the week. We don't want him to be overly dependent on his iPad and TV but

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!

Bear the ShowStopper

Hello family! I apologize for the lack of posts. The beautiful thing about having a preschooler is when you send them to school well, it's almost a guarantee they'll come home sick and share the love. Yeah, we're all sick here but we're on the mend. The last few days weren't that great but I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious to warrant an ER trip. Being sick does come at a peculiar

We Officially Have a Preschooler!

This week kicks off Bear entering school. He only goes to school Tuesdays and Thursdays for the time being but we hope to take him five days a week soon. Here are pics from the first day: [gallery ids="4509,4510,4511,4512" type="rectangular"] After I picked him up yesterday, we celebrated by going to the park and getting an ice cream bar: [gallery ids="4513,4514" type="rectangular"] How exciting!!
