#BlackGirlWhoGardens

So, it's been a minute since I've updated here on the blog about how the gardening is going. Well, I decided to revive my long-forgotten about YouTube channel with a new series: #blackgirlwhogardens. It's fitting since I love to garden and I'm a black girl. Wow, what a concept. Anyway, this is going to be a short and sweet post: check out the video! Please let me know if you have

Christmas Morning!

Privyet, family! I apologize it's been about a minute since I've blogged. The holidays snuck up on us and well, it's been a little crazy around here! Anyhoo, I wanted to do a special Christmas post for a while so shout-out to the hubby for shooting us first thing in the morning.

I didn't learn about it until I was in high school. Over the

Vlogmas, Schogmas…

Can I tell you how hard it is to do a daily vlog? We really don't have anything happening all the time to warrant a daily vlog so this is new to me. But I love a challenge and well, vlogmas is a challenge! So check out the last two episodes as we're in the process of making a third one now. Great news! I finally own a KitchenAid mixer! I

Who Cares?

It has nothing to do with valuing privacy or selling my family out. Let's be clear, if I vlog, it'll be primarily Bear and I featured (M. works full-time so he won't be available). I started looking up some prominent YouTube families to kinda get a feel of what they do
