I work with a few amazing people that are so genuine and are NOT living, no never have lived, the military lifestyle.<br />
<br />
I have many things in common with my civilian friends except for the fact of the military life.<br />
<br />
Have any of you ever tried to have a get together or party and invited both civilians and non civilians? How did it go?<br />
<br />
I can tell you that at our DS's birthday party; my civilian friends and their families felt out of place. They never admitted it, but you could tell. The Marines felt out of place as well. Us women, civi or not, can spark a conversation with anyone, but the men had a harder time! The Marines felt lost and out of the loop and the civilians seemed like they felt intimidated. I never ask them, nor did I want to.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else have this issue? Did I make sense?<br />
<br />
I told my hubby, "I think I want to have a BBQ with my civilian friends only!" It was just an awkward mess at DS's birthday. I felt like I had to spend my time in different parts of the house because that's exactly how it was! Military families in the kitchen and front patio; civilian families in the living room!<br />
<br />
Maybe my guests don't talk to strangers! Haha. I'm not sure!Always Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14291326964092847987noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212475951437042944.post-14244702400109819172011-08-21T19:41:00.000-04:002011-08-21T19:41:30.945-04:00ChangesChanges are always for the better. When I was writing as SAHM and Marine Wife I was having fun, but also I couldn't keep up with the demand of giveaways and trying to reach numbers. It was too much time spending away from my family. I would find myself up all hours of the night to get the "perfect" post. I'm sorry for not being the best at giveaways, the best blogger, or even the best "blog" friend.<br />
<br />
I no longer am a SAHM as you may now have recognized. In fact, I tried, I really did, to want to be a SAHM. My family knew me better than I knew myself. I like working. Yes, I'm a work-a-holic. Did I want to admit that now that I am a mom? NO! I didn't. I didn't want to face people telling me that I would miss many things in your child's life by being a way from them. Oh and DAYCARE. The world will end by putting your child in daycare? I turned out okay and I went to daycare starting at just a few weeks old. I think it may have even been beneficial to my social life. I've met wonderful people through day care.<br />
<br />
I am a corporate girl. Hospitality and hotels are my passion. People are my passion. My son and family are my passion. I can balance all of this. I can multi-task. I just have had to learn to rekindle my "SAHM" relationship with my son in another way. It means more mommy and me time in the evenings and the weekends. It means, only MOMMY puts DS to bed!<br />
<br />
Back to the daycare concern. I love our daycare. Which our son loves as well. It's a military daycare. So, yeah we can't cloth diaper there but I do still try to save the environment by using a biodegradable diaper. His daycare more or less has a curriculum concept than "baby-sitting". Our son is speaking more and more clearly everyday. I am a huge advocate of daycare/learning centers for little ones. Even if you don't work a child should be in a group environment for their social skills at least a couple days a week. Our son is an only child right now so his social development from his peers is beneficial to his growth.<br />
<br />
With that being said you will see me "around" the blog sphere more often. I probably wont be posting every day or even every other day. I will post when I have time. Working outside of home, owning my own business, and being a wife, and mom, may have me bogged down but I will be around.<br />
<br />
I will not be focusing on giveaways. Like I said, I had fun while doing it, but I don't have time for it. If it comes across me without intentionally looking for one, I will do it. But seeking out businesses and vendors took a lot of work!<br />
<br />
Enjoy my family friendly posts!<br />
<br />
Cio for now!Always Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14291326964092847987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212475951437042944.post-73489938036923623582011-05-16T17:28:00.000-04:002011-05-16T17:28:31.274-04:00Military MondayHey...I think I have been doing a decent job lately making an effort to link back up with my weekly link ups.<br />

<br />
Oh where do I start with my weekend! We had a GREAT anniversary. We spent time as a family ALL day Saturday. We went shopping in Hershey, had a yummy and filing dinner at Red Robin, and came home to have movie night! Everything went well except for movie night. We were hoping to watch an On Demand Movie but the service happened to be down! AHH....so we put DS to bed (we were going to let him stay up late for our special night), I fell asleep on the sofa, and hubby probably just ended up watching sports center! Oh well, at least we had a nice afternoon.<br />
<br />

A short background on the anniversary couple:<br />
<br />

*Cheerleader/football play (yes we were THAT couple)<br />

Oh my. I remember joking with hubby a couple years ago about him turning 25 and now here I am in his shoes. Wow how time flies!<br />
<br />
So you ask "What did Kara do today for her birthday?" Oh it was such a FABULOUS day. My work celebrated with me with a cake for everyone to share, a card, and some balloons. I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work where I do because my coworkers and superiors are AMAZING people that I know will be there for me professionally and personally.<br />
<br />
After work I went and got my ONE hour deep tissue massage (a gift from Hubby). The lady did an outstanding job. I feel like a new woman! Stress and pain free (For now at least).<br />
<br />
I got home and dinner was made, smiles to be found, and dessert to be had! Coldstone Ice Cream Cookie Dough Cake! YUMMY!<br />
<br />
Thank you hubby and DS for giving me to best birthday I have had in a while!<br />
<br />
Oh and my Facebook was filled with Bday wishes from my friends and family.Always Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14291326964092847987noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212475951437042944.post-10408524947792330932011-04-27T22:53:00.000-04:002011-04-27T22:53:19.564-04:00Inchbug Winner!Comment number 24 Annie!!

<br />
I am also sad to say that I got lost trying to locate "The Great Cloth Diaper Change" as I drove around FOREVER in a "foreign" town only to get more lost and had to call my hubby to mapquest where I was! I was SO bummed that we missed it. As soon as we got home we changed his cloth diaper in "spirit"! Sorry Candy and "Real Mom Reviews"! I really wanted to meet the two of you. Okay, okay. Next time. How about a mom's meet up ladies! Next time I will also get your phone numbers. Oh boy. I was so frustrated and upset about it when I got home. Hubby knew and backed off from me for a while.<br />
<br />
Easter turned out to be such a great day. Bman and I went outside to play in the morning and it was already in the 60's. Then once lunch time hit it was in the low 70s. We had TOO much food and dessert but it was ever so yummy. We also did an Easter Eggs hunt. I hope everyone had a great weekend like we did!<br />

PLUS I get to meet some new mamas in my area (well somewhat my area)!<br />
<br />
Here's the rundown for my non cloth diapering ladies (This information is from <a href="http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com/">http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com/</a> ):<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Help Put Cloth Diapers in the Record Books</u></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
"Cloth diapers have come a long way in past 10 years, and it’s time to stand up and be noticed. Celebrate Earth Day, by joining the North American and International cloth diaper community on April 23rd, 2011 at 9AM PDT to set the world record for the most cloth diapers changed simultaneously.<br />
<br />
There are many ways to participate so please take a few minutes to explore the site to find a location near you or offer to host a location of your own. ( <a href="http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com/">http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com/</a> )The more babies participating the better, so every cloth diapered bum counts. Can’t attend an event near you? Consider getting involved in your local cloth diaper community by learning more about organizations like the RDIA and RDA.<br />
<br />
We can’t wait to put cloth diapers into the record books!"<br />
<br />
Okay! So all you CD mamas and non CD mamas I hope you have fun on Saturday! I know I will thanks to Candy at Diaper Parties!Always Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14291326964092847987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212475951437042944.post-50424081097346742872011-04-20T08:23:00.000-04:002011-04-20T08:23:45.332-04:00What I Wore Wednesday/All Dressed UpYay!

I have waited WAY TOO LONG to post this giveaway.</div><br />
This review's sponsor is <a href="http://www.inchbug.com/">Inchbug</a>! Inchbug is well know for their customized labels. Like these labels below. Not only do they carry these ONE OF A KIND Orbit Labels but they also have Self Adhesive labels for your child's lunch box, plastic wear, schools supplies, etc... What a great invention huh?<br />
<br />

</div>We received our pack of customized Oribit labels and hubby and I thought they were the COOLEST things ever. We immediately had to put one on Bman's Car's sippy cup. These things can STRETCH. I thought it was going to break because the Car's cups are wide. Inchbug brand proved me wrong!<br />

My life has been a little crazy with working, starting up my OWN business, family...etc... No more excuses Kara, no more!<br />
<br />
Anyways, my birthday is next week 4/28, and my hubby got me a BRAND new Camera (he also just surprised me another Bday present! A ONE hour massage!!). Wohoo. I'm spoiled I know. You all know that I normally use my cell phone which takes decent photos.<br />
<br />
My camera is a Nikon Coolpix L110! I absolutely LOVE it. It was affordable and does exactly what I needed it to do!<br />
<br />
My loves and latest project:<br />
