Pondering Life...as is

I wish I may, I wish I might, have a part time job and be able to spend more time with my family and friends in the near future. That is my main wish right now, and Chris and I are really trying to make it happen the best we can.

Someday maybe we will move back to Corvallis or find a place closer in Vancouver that creates the same feeling I get when I go down to Corvallis. I am just looking for more piece of mind, more relaxation and less worry. More one on one time with things that are important to me, even though I am blessed and thankful with what I have been able to do so far.

Kaia can now firmly say JJ, Lei, Kitty, More, Milk, Please, Bye and Hi lol. But she thinks she can say A TON more and copies everything I say. It cracks me up!

First times a charm


I can't make any promises this will be updated often, or even once in awhile but I have been watching movies and TV lately, and have become inspired to "blog" what is going on in my life and ideas that are floating in my head. Even my opinions when I feel like I must. *I had to add a picture, just to see what it looked like :) This was her eating crackers when Auntie Ape. She was trying to tell her they fell down*


Recently I have in talks with a close freind about an idea she had with opening a childrens store. Both of us, and many of our other friends, are upset it's not easier to find "Made in the USA" toys, clothes, clothe diapers, really anything baby. All of us really try to support local and shop in our neighborhoods as much as we can, but it's still frustrating when your on a mission and cannot find what you need unless China put it together. We have been talking about looking into getting a little store front avaliable to local mom's as well who make things and sell them on places such as Etsy and others. There are so many Mom's out there that are creative and trying to make something of themselves and we really want to help them. As long as with the Mom knick knacks we are searching for baby products only made in the USA. Not saying our store won't have other things made not in the US but that is our main focus as a store. We are still in the brainstorming part of the process and really trying to figure out the reality of it. Fingers crossed though, we are both SUPER passionate about getting it started and that can take you places you never imagined!


Kaia continues to grow :( everyday she seems to be getting bigger and bigger. It makes me yearn for another little one, but as a family we just are not ready yet. It will happen when it happens, but in the mean time I am really trying to think of ways we can have fun with Kaia outside our home, helping her grow as a person and enjoy life as much as she can. Currently she is crazy about dancing and copying me when I stomp or swing my arms. I love watching her watch me then do it herself, she cracks me up. Whenever I look back at her in the car and she notices she will start bobbing her head or moving her arms to the music to make me laugh! Lol She has such a great sense of humor at her age I love it! She is almost 15 months which I cannot believe has gone by so fast! Actually her daycare just took some pictures of her for their "daycare pictures" and we had to get them. They had one with all her classmates which is one of the cutest things ever. We will definately be putting that in the books.


Putting it in the books made me think of how much I want to get back into scrapbooking. It's not do-able with Kaia running around since she only entertains herself for a good 30 min. and that would leave me with getting everything out and organizing it to putting it away as soon as it was done. I will have to think of a way to find some time though to get that done, those books are so valuable and awesome to have when the babies are older and able to look back at the fun they had and how stinkin cute they were! I will make that a goal next month, to get at least 2 pages done for her book! It's settled!


I guess that's it for now. We will see when I write back again :)
