We are not letting anything slip by us. We love our mailbox. The mango tree. The sweeping, majestic vista from our front yard. An orange tree that produces sweet “moon balls” as Gavin calls them. The soccer “field.” A macadamia nut tree that we get one nut from a day. The long driveway to ride … Continue reading Exploring Sunset From Our Home

The three key ingredients to our daily lives right now…… We start out our mornings with the wonderful, incredible, AMAZING Blendtec. The kids get different types of warm grain cereals blended up in there- oats or millet or quinoa with hemp seeds, cinnamon, ginger, raisins, coconut and a little almond milk and banana if … Continue reading Pretty Much Sums It Up

Funniest thing that has happened to me in awhile? One of the most ridiculous things that has happened to me in awhile? The dirtiest looks that I’ve received in awhile? All this folks, at your island TJ Maxx. Yep…..with Deia. Spencer, Gavin, Deia and I made a stop at good ol’ TJ Maxx to … Continue reading “She Loud. She Funny. You Leave.”

We moved in to “home” almost a week ago. We don’t have much of our stuff yet, as it’s all being shipped over from California. So it didn’t take us long to get what we do have in here. It has been pretty wonderful putting things away knowing that we are here to stay. I … Continue reading Home

And while Gavin was at school, Spencer and I got to relaxed apparently. I looked over and Deia was eating an ONION. and enjoying it at that. I was even able to 1) run and find my camera, 2) open the bag, 3) turn it on and 4) she went for ANOTHER bite!!

After Gavin met Teacher Nancy last week, and cried for 20 seconds about it, we were unsure how today would go. For the last few days we talked about it a bit, and stayed really positive and kept talking it up. At a birthday party on Saturday, he saw the little girl that he met … Continue reading First Day of School for Gavin

When I wrote a post on July 18th, the day before we moved over here that it was the last day we’d be living out of a suitcase, it slipped my mind that we still had to find our “perfect house.” So it’s been two weeks since then, and we’re still living out of our … Continue reading Gettin Creative

But it did not start off so fun. It was just “one of those hours” when everything was wrong and nothing was right. And it took MANY deep breaths and moments of silence and lots of grounding and surrendering and prayers for laughter and patience. I never did like the “terrible” part of the twos. … Continue reading Sunday Funday

Deia is now standing for about a minute on her own. And the other day when Spencer and Gavin got home, she stood up by herself from kneeling, and took FOUR steps toward them!! When she isn’t thinking too much about what is going on, she just does it. Easy as pie….she goes for it. … Continue reading Trust & Surrender = Growth

….about how you will make it all work. Just focus on how you feel and go towards those things that bring forth joy. When you are living in your joy, the Universe is living joyfully through you. When you are living a life of fear, the Universe is dying and becoming smaller. Remember you are … Continue reading “do not worry….

Today was a big day for Gavin. But not as big as next Tuesday. We got to go see his little school and he met his Teacher today. We went while there were no other kids there and he was amazed at all the incredible toys in this classroom. But we don’t call them toys- … Continue reading Gavin’s New Job(s)

I think we got through the sludge!…. All that uncertainty and fear and anxiety definitely came. And went! And we never really let it stay for long. I would say a healthy amount, but we had trust and faith in the Universe. We’re making the place we’re staying at feel more homey until we find … Continue reading Moving Past It….in a Minivan

Last night I could tell Spencer and I were getting overwhelmed and fear was setting in!….. after a couple visits to the store where we put down some serious cash on what seemed like nothing…. but it’s all good. It’s worth it in fact. And we are both glad we have a Costco card for … Continue reading Day Three Update

It’s not only a new moon and a perfect time to start something new…… but it’s also my last day of living out of a suitcase with a family of 4, and my last day on the mainland for awhile. As many of you know, we left Costa Rica 4 1/2 months ago and have … Continue reading Moving West

I spent many summers and Christmas’ here at “the lake”…… and it was with much joy and sentiment that I was able to head back for a week with my husband and two kiddoes. Not only does the lake seems to refresh me, but the people who come settle my soul. They are the aunties … Continue reading Priest Lake, Idaho

how the heck did Spokane, Washington get the airport code GEG?! In the Seattle airport, I didn’t strap Deia into her stroller and she decided to stand up. (Who wouldn’t after being confined to a seat for 12 hours?) Well- it was probably one of my top 3 scariest parent moments. She then DOVE out … Continue reading nAntuCKet-BOSton-nEWaRk-SEAttle and final destination….

I couldn’t bare to write “Shit” Show as the title to this new post….but that’s what it was, People! So I thought I would do a new post regarding “A Day in the LIfe” of the Kleins. But I think “15 minutes in the life of” would be more appropriate for this last week….cause I’m … Continue reading A Sh*! Show….

in reflecting on 4 years ago today, I feel that this “Invitation” can sum up our love for each other and the path we are taking….. i love you, Spencer Klein The Invitation… by Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache … Continue reading Nosara is for Lovers- January 5, 2008

I find myself reflecting on all the beauty and balance of 2011….on Deia’s third month of life. All the lessons and experiences, the ascensions and plateaus. Last year at this time, I was meditating and asking the Universe for balance. As a mother, wife, friend, sister, daughter. All of the above. I just felt like … Continue reading Thank you, 2011
