Hi there! I’m Kisa!
Welcome to our cluttered little corner of the web,. I’m a mom of five human kiddos, cat mom, artist, crafter, fixer of many things, lover of baking, freelance voice actress and owner of this blog.
We’re in Northern Idaho and nearby to Spokane, WA. I’m originally from Southern California and dream of moving back.
I like to bake! Cookies, cakes, brownies and baklava mainly. I sew too! Sometimes making the kids dress up clothes or costumes (sometimes I’ll buy them though!) Occasionally I sew play food, make tutu’s, repair broken stuff around the house, do some car repairs, and fix broken game consoles when the kids run to me “Mooooom it’s broken!!”
Ohayo Okasan means “Morning Mom!” In Japanese. I’ve been studying Japanese off and on for many years, I need to study harder and fully learn the language. I love learning about other cultures and it’s interesting to see how things are in places that are different than what I’ve experienced.
Interested in working with me? You can email me at kisa@ohayookasan.com

**Please note, nicknames are used for the kids for privacy purposes.**
We also have many cats and a bird –
Puuny: Second oldest, he’s 14. Plays fetch with rice socks, will give you all the love if you just let him.
Cookie: He’s 12 1/2. He doesn’t believe you that he’s not a kitten anymore. He’s the largest/heaviest cat in the house, despite being really active. Just a giant boy. Still good.
Squee, Kimi, Midnight: All 12 yrs, we raised them from 2 weeks old. Squee is a snuggle baby but also a bully. Kimi plays fetch with baby bottle nipples. Midnight is a floppy girl who loves snuggles. Shadow has the loudest whiny meow and loudest purr in the house.
Jeonha – 10ish? Toy mice must have NO tail, prefers a certain brand, chirps instead of meows, gives lots of face nuzzle kisses.
Gingu + Mocha – 5 year old brothers rescued from an animal… situation… Gingu is a polydactyl kitty. Mocha is obssessed with Kat.
Yaki – 1 1/2 years old, our second European Starling. Loves buggies (mealworms) and is an excellent bug catcher for any that want to come in the house. I’m currently establishing a meal worm farm for him.
We’ve had to say goodbye to –
Tori – At a bit over 16 years old we had to say farewell to Tori due to multiple cancers and health conditions
Shadow – At 10 years and 3 months we had to say farewell to Shadow due to Pancreatic cancer
Freyja – At just about 20 years old we had to say farewell to Freyja due to cancer and other health conditions.
Chicken Wing –My first European Starling, she passed in her sleep at almost 5 years old.
keep doing a good work please.
Hi, have been following you on twitter and saw that you are interested in Japanese. I have a book that I am trying to find something out about – Shijie Jinxiandaishi Jingyao – is the title, and I think it’s Japanese but am not sure. Do you read Japanese? If so, can you please tell me the title. Thanks so much!
Hi there! The title is actually Chinese and not Japanese. I found the writing in Chinese script to be ???????? and the translation fot this according to goggle is “The world in recent modern history Essentials” So it’s a history book it seems. 🙂
Enjoyed viewing your site, keep up the great work.
