[Archive] Well, the State of Emergency for Tokyo and other prefectures has been extended until March 7.😔 There obviously won’t be any arcade fun for a while, BUT at least that gives me time to save up for our next visit! I’m terrible with the crane games but did pretty well at the air rifle booth.  Guess my time in JROTC paid off!

緊急事態宣言が3月7日まで延長することになりました😔以前はよくショッピングモールのゲームコーナーやゲームセンターに行ってたけど、家族での行楽などはまだまだ先でずね...春になったらどうかな?

Stopped by @ookiinizi_i to pick up another round of
Japanese fruit sandwiches (“fruit sando”) for today’s picnic. These sweet, colorful delights use strawberries, orange, kiwis and other fruits sandwiched between a generous helping of whipped cream and milk bread

Are fruit sandwiches something you’d like to try?

春のピクニックにも持っていきたい、フルーツサンド!今回のお出かけ先では @ookiinizi_i のいちごサンド&苺のお花を美味しくいただきました🥪🍓 

店内にキッズスペースが設置されて、今度はイートインしてみたいと思います👩‍👧

Just when I thought we’d be making the transition to kindergarten life (found an opening before April!), COVID cases in Tokyo have grown exponentially... 😔
At least I’ve got this “work from home” thing figured out this time around. Guess I just need to stock up on puzzles and paints and snacks!
⁣
去年の4月から、2人でホームズスクーリング頑張ってきて、今年は幼稚園ライフを楽しんでもらいたい... と思ったのに、急激に感染が広がっています... 😔 幸いに自宅で仕事ができるので、生活と仕事・勉強はなんとかします。知育玩具やおやつなどのレパートリーを増やさないと!

2021年が既に教えてくれたこと:
「人が本当の姿を見せたら、それを迷わず信じなさい。」— マヤ・アンジェロウ #年女

2021 is the Year of the Ox (丑年) making me a “toshi onna” (年女)! It simply means I was born under this year’s sign. This year is supposed to be a critical point in my life, and 2021 is already teaching me an important life lesson:

This was back when gathering in groups of 5 or more people was acceptable. I guess it still is for some, but I welcome any opportunity to be anti-social😅 Now, time stock up for the New Year’s edition of Stay Home🍷 Are you ready?

茶色いダヴは冬の味方

お風呂の時間が長くなる冬に、乾燥肌はもう悩まない!
⁣
茶色いダヴのシアバター&バニラ(香料配合)は、親子で使えるバスタイムの保湿ケア。肌本来のうるおいを守る「美肌フローラ」も残して洗い、あたたかいシアバター&バニラの香り(香料配合)が安らいだ気持ちになり、保湿成分のシアバターを贅沢にブレンドし、乾燥する冬も濃厚しっとり肌へ導いてくれます。

If you need us this winter, you can find us in the bathtub! We’ll be giving our skin some serious TLC with this rich blend of nourishing shea butter and shea butter and warm vanilla scented (infused with fragrance) body wash from @Dove.

Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Lucky Miss M got everything she wanted for Christmas (purple shoes, a fox family, and plenty of dinosaurs).
⁣
But, to me, this is more than a letter to Santa.
⁣
This list represents all the changes and freedom I’ve encountered since losing my job.
⁣
(When I say “lose” I actually mean, my sexual harassment claim was dismissed & I was given a zero hour contract — nice way to jumpstart pandemic life, amirite?)
⁣
I was angry, hurt, and embarrassed. But, managed to transition from teaching kindy to a new career as a brand consultant/social media manager. (Also, I got profiled in an interview with @BBC100women, too!)
⁣
My schedule varies daily, but nearly every weekday morning starts with a homeschool lesson. 
⁣
I was definitely intimidated with Japanese lessons as I’m not a native speaker. But, seeing my daughter try every day encourages me to try harder, too. (My handwriting still sucks though🤣)
⁣
The first months were HARD but our frustration and tears turned to smiles and laughter. 
⁣
The other day, my daughter even told me she wants to be a mom when she grows up! 
⁣
I was so sure she’d say something like “Shinkansen (bullet train) driver” or “dinosaur,” or “unicorn princess.”
⁣
Genuinely curious, I just had to ask, “Why do you want to be a mom?”
⁣
Her answer? 
⁣
“Because we have so much fun together!” 🥰🥰🥰
⁣
Needless to say, a new chapter has started in my life.
⁣
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.(Ephesians 2:8-9)
⁣
I’m cautious about 2021 but really look forward to to sharing my journey of healing and self-discovery with you✨
⁣
(If you made it this far, thanks for reading!😘❤️✨)
