How To Survive Your First Toddler ER Experience

My Mother's Day weekend 2016 is something I won't forget anytime soon. We went to the #LALovesPrince concert on Friday and it was super fun! (To see our adventures, click here.) And then Saturday happened. Bear had a slight limp on the night of the concert and I didn't really think anything of it because he did walk around a lot. Saturday morning, however, his limp grew more pronounced and it

All About the Bear!

  It's a been while since I've done a post on just Bear and nothing but so here it goes! Weight: Around 25 lbs. Since we switched to a new insurance, I haven't been able to get him to his pedi yet, but soon. Height: A little over 3 feet (3'3 to be exact). Yeah, he's a tall kid. Likes: House music. Thomas the Train. Super Why. Curious George. Dinosaur Train. My homemade

#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

Here are some photos from Bear from the past year. Gosh, it's so crazy these photos were actually taken around this time last year!

I'll share our adventures in co-sleeping in a future blog post coming soon. No, we're not doing it intentionally but it's not too bad.

Biracial Hair Care – Update!

So ever since I've been styling my son's hair, I've been trying different products. I recently picked up the Dark & Lovely Beautiful Blessings Detangler and the Just for Me Hair Nourishing Detangler Milk. Those reviews are coming. I have to say, however, I'm still a huge fan of the Cantu Care for Kids Conditioning Detangler. It's taken a small while for Bear's hair to adapt to the product (which is

The Leash Experiment #toddler #harness #safety

I'm so sorry I've been absent for the past week! I've actually been super busy with my other career so I haven't had much time to Mommy blog here. (Please note, that's probably the only time I will ever make a reference to my pen name. I really like keeping my professional and private life as separate as possible.) Anyhoo, we're going to talk Adventures in Leashville. That already sounds like a

Flashback Friday – Pumpkin Patch edition

It's amazing how small he was last year around this time! We took him to his first pumpkin patch and he was a little overwhelmed. After all, he'd never seen a pumpkin before, let alone a ton of them! Here are some pics from it last year. I really do miss that hair color. Really, it were colors. I love this photo. So touching. <3 Whoa! What is this? A bit overwhelmed puffs. Searching for

Beautiful Boy

You might be graduating from college. You might be on your wedding day. You might have experienced the birth of your first child. You might have scored you first big contract. You might have lost everything and wonder why you even bothered to begin with. That's the beauty
