thought: my own etsy

thought: my own etsy

Whatever etsy is-it’s me. It’s what I’ve been envisioning in my life for many years now. I still haven’t manifested it personally the way I want but all the other amazing and cool people on etsy have. I’ll get there but at least I’ve started it. I have dreams of making amazing and beautiful things [...]

thought gap: diaper line

thought gap: diaper line

My girlfriend, Cindy, is doing a laundry series photo project so I was inspired to photograph my diaper laundry. I told her she could come down anytime to photograph it herself! Whenever I hang the diapers outside to dry I think of the time Jim and I spent cruising. We always did our laundry by [...]


thought: drip drip

I got a long anticipated project done today-I finished installing our drip system in the side yard. It started out well. Merrik was playing in the dirt with his dump trucks and Maliea watched in her stroller while I dug out the pipe to attach the drip lines to. I got as far as three [...]

thought: blog

My dad asked me the other day who came up with the term ‘blog’ and I told him that it was short for web log. Then I started thinking about what a log is and haven’t stopped thinking about the log that I kept on the S/V Pelican when Jim and I sailed to Polynesia. [...]


thought: yeah!

I found out the workaround for the Post Author issue. If you change your role to Administrator it will add you to the drop down on the Post Author menu. Weird bug in WordPress. I hate bugs but love to figure them out. Sometimes I am such a tech geek. Now I just want to [...]


thought: one day closer to being a teenager

Now I know that Merrik is one day closer to being a teenager. When I used to vaccum when he was younger (a week ago?) he would be so excited and run around the house with glee. Today when I was vacuuming he asked me to stop because it was so loud he couldn’t hear. [...]


thought gap: in the pool

thought gap: in the pool

Merrik, Maliea and I went to the Forester Ranch pool with Zoe and Brandy today. I decided to take my camera and hop in the pool with the kids. It was a far cry from taking pictures underwater at Pipeline and Taapuna Pass in Tahiti but it was fun. The older girls are all Zoe’s [...]


gap: sisters

gap: sisters

I went to Legoland yesterday with my sisters. I don’t know when the last time was that I did something like that with both of them. It was so fun to be with them and my mom. All us girls with all our kids. What a special day. Kristianne Koch Photography Kristianne Koch specializes in [...]


thought: let’s go land

Merrik wouldn’t get out of the car yesterday because he didn’t want to go home. He wanted to go to Legoland and we had just spent the past 5 hours there but he wanted to go “that way.” Back toward Legoland. I love the way kids think. I wish life was that simple. If you [...]

thought gap: people and their dogs

I don’t know what it is about people and their dogs but they seem to give them more attention and love than their kids. If two dog people start talking about their dogs-stand back ’cause they won’t be able to control themselves. We love our cat. Cats are so cool and nonchalant and barely there. [...]

thought: gifting

if you are going to be doing any gifting (birthdays, anniversaries, christmas et al) you have got to shop at etsy! I purchased a few items recently and have never been as satisfied with a purchase from any chain store. You get personalized service (even custom orders), fast delivery, gorgeous presentation and incredible products. Check [...]


thought: vintage travel

thought: vintage travel

I have these amazing original vintage travel posters that I salvaged from my parent’s travel business. My grandfather was an avid collector of all things signage and design. He collected some of the most fantastic posters from around the world for use in his own window designs at the office. I went through thousands of [...]

thought: fuzzi bunz

Well, I found the cloth diapers I was looking for. There’s a fantastic website called DiaperSwappers where all these efficient mamas post their cloth diapers for sale. I must be getting old because it took me awhile to figure out how to navigate that world. All you younguns (under 40) have it so easy because [...]
