I don’t know anyone from the States or who have lived in the U.S. who would not love Target. When I ask my female friends from the U.S. who live overseas what they would like to do back home when they go visit, many of them answer “go to Target”.
I got two mint color shirts with a heart for both of my girls at Target. I love mint green color. In fact, that’s my favorite color these days. The shirt is still too big on my middle child as you can see from folded sleeve…
アメリカのターゲットってご存知ですか?日本では同じ様な感じのお店が無いのですが、敢えて言えばヨーカドーや西友といった感じでしょうか。ターゲットは、大きなお店であれば、食品から、電化製品、食器、服、家具、文房具と何でも揃うお店です。アメリカ人やアメリカに住んでいた外国人の友人で、ターゲットが大好きでない人を知らないくらい、とにかくアメリカ人には人気のお店です。ターゲットの魅力なのですが、ターゲットブランドの値段がとてもお手頃であること、そしてターゲットはデザイナーとコラボをして、普段手に届かない商品をお手頃価格で売る、といったような企画をやったり、1ドルコーナーを充実したり、常に可愛い商品を入れたりと、常に消費者の心を奪う戦略を使っていると思います。
このミント色のシャツはそのターゲットで買いました。最近ミント色にハマっていて、私の一番お気に入りの色です。このシャツは、まだ次女にはちょっと大きすぎて、袖を捲っています。
What are these numbers? My girl came up with this. They are the numbers representing the ages of her siblings and herself. She is 5!
娘が自分で考えてポーズしました。何の番号かというと、本人も入れた兄弟の年齢。彼女は5歳です!
In the past week or so, I’ve been very tired and could not stay up past 10:00 pm. I had a very busy week up to the weekend before last. I had been either falling asleep in front of the computer or in our living room couch. Thus, no posting last week. I just could not do it. Even though I have been sleeping more than usual in the past week, I feel that my body still hasn’t recovered. No, I’m not pregnant and I’d better not be because we are done. I’m done. Fini. I stopped nursing my son a couple of weeks ago. That was a big deal to me, but I was pretty mechanical about it. I did not want nursing to be an emotional one because I know in my head that he is my youngest and last. By the third child though, nursing to me was a task more than anything although I did enjoy the morning cuddle with him after he woke up and I admit that I miss having him in my bed next to me nursing.
I hope I’ll recover from whatever I had and be more on top of my blog. I would like to keep up with blogging. At the same time, I recognize that I need to spend more time with my kids and have more energy for them. My blog is not meant to take my time away from my kids. It does not generate any revenue and the reason why I’d like to keep it that way at the moment is because I’d like to remember that my kids are my priority, not my blog.
ここ最近1週間程、夜10時以降起きていられませんでした。先週までとても忙しかったという事もあるかと思いますが、コンピューターの前やリビングのソファーで眠ってしまっていました。先週は普段よりも沢山寝ているはずなのに、それでも疲労感が残っています。それで先週は全くブログの更新が出来ませんでした。ちなみに、妊娠じゃありませんよ。子供は3人で充分です。しかも3番目の息子の授乳も数週間前に終わらせました。私にとっては結構大きな事でしたが、機械的に終わらせました。末っ子で、今回が最後の授乳であることが分かっていたので、感傷的になりたくなかったということもあります。3番目だからか、授乳がお仕事であった感じはあるのですが、朝起きて、息子と一緒に横になって授乳したぬくもりが今でも懐かしくなる事はあります。
今週はもうちょっと元気になって、ブログをちゃんと更新したいと思います。同時に、子供ともっと一緒に時間を過ごしてあげなくてはいけないと反省しています。ブログに子供との時間を取られるのでは本末転倒なので。ブログで収入がある訳では無いですし、そのまま今の状態を継続したいと思います。子供が最優先であり、ブログが中心でないということを覚えておくために。

Hi Kaho! I love mint green, too. You have the best sense of fashion. I love reading about your fashion and design choices.
I had a really exhausting week last week too (Logan, Mommy and Daddy were all sick) and did not post. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon. I can imagine the decision to stop nursing was easy and difficult all at the same time. I think I’ll be facing that in a couple of months. Love reading your posts! You are an amazing Mom!

You have a great blog and I have been following it for some time now. As a reader, I will check on it from time to time for any updates. When there is a new post it’s great but you have a lot of wonderful content to go back to or re read. Being a mum, your children come first and it’s a beautiful sacrifice to give your time and love to them. They give u the energy to do what you do.
Kaho says
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your kind words! They really do give me energy to do what I do even though sometimes I feel like my energy is drained by them. I shouldn’t take them granted!
