Nothing super exciting going on at the Brice household lately, just living life or lifin' it.
Lexie and I were in her room today and I began reading the tags on many of her toys........we both came to the realization that just about the entire contents in her room could be summed up in three words - MADE IN CHINA. In fact I had to search the entire room for a few minutes to find anything not made in China. We bought her dollhouse from a specialty store this Christmas and it was made in Thailand, but otherwise all we could find was a Reed and Barton piggy-bank(Japan), a shell (God) and thankfully one thing actually made in the good ol' USA - a box of Crayola crayons.....I love Crayola!
This got me thinking about our dependence on China, the lack of US industry jobs mainly because we Americans want our stuff cheap and lots of it. I thought if I could trade in half of Lexie's toys for a few quality made more pricey U.S. stuff, she'd be just as happy and so would our society........Sometimes we have to look at ourselves to see the issues behind our country's woes.
