𝙳𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚂𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚊 (𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝙹𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚗 𝙿𝚘𝚜𝚝!) __________ 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!😘❤️✨) __________ #thewagamamadiaries #learnjapanese #christmaslist #lifeinjapan #japanlife #workinjapan #myjapan #tokyomama #bilingualkids #bbc100women #metoo #speakup #whenlifegivesyoulemons #selfdiscovery #selfdiscoveryjourney #strongasamother #momtrepreneur #motherhoodunplugged #wahm #kidsgram_japan #kidsgram_tokyo #timefreedom #worklifebalance #workingfromwifi #ohheymama #Godisgood #blessed
𝚂𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚢 𝚒𝚗 𝙶𝚒𝚗𝚣 𝚂𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚢 𝚒𝚗 𝙶𝚒𝚗𝚣𝚊 ____________ Last Sunday’s outing in Ginza, where we met the sweetest Yakult vendor🥰 Among the places she’s visited in the US are the Grand Canyon and Miami! Ginza commands some of the highest property prices in Japan, but you’ll see plenty of families taking a Sunday stroll when the main street is blocked off to vehicular traffic. I hardly use cash but I had just enough change to buy our favorite Yakult drink, Joie. I got muscat for myself and blueberry for my girl. Have you ever had Yakult before? 先週の日曜日、銀座をぶらりと散歩したら、優しいヤクルトレディに会いました🥰 いろんな会話を交わして、アメリカのグランド・キャニオンやマイアミにも行ったことがあるそう！　最後に、ジョアを売ってくれました✨基本はキャッシュレス派だけど、お財布の中にはちょうどジョア2本分の小銭があってよかった。娘をガッカリさせたくはなかったから😅 __________ Hat @bebe1971_official (via @carryon_official) Mask @uniqlo Cape @burberry Shirt @burberry Dress @carters Shoes @familiar_official (via @carryon_official) __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #touristforaday #tokyostreet #tokyostreetphotography #tokyofashion #tokyoblogger #tokyolife #lifeintokyo #yakult #japan_daytime_view #kidsgram_japan #kidsgram_tokyo #ginza #ginzatokyo #kidscode #stylepost #kidsfashion #tokyomama #銀座 #ママ撮 #東京女子部 #東京旅 #東京ママ #キッズコーデ　#キッズコーデ女の子 #ヤクルト #ipreview via @preview.app

No, I’m not at a Christkindl Markt, but at the Kerst Bloem festive pop-up shop inside @route_cafe_and_things✨ 😭 The cafe is on the 4th floor of the Marunouchi Building and faces Tokyo Station, so the seating area has excellent views of the architecture (and JR trains in action)! Route Cafe and Things opens at 11 AM, so if you want to add a bit of Christmas cheer to your week while beating the holiday crowds and staying warm, this is the place to be☕ Kerst Bloem specializes in Christmas decorations, so perhaps you’ll find a new addition to your tree as well. __________ 📍 ROUTE CAFE AND THINGS 🗺 東京都千代田区丸の内2-4-1丸の内ビルディング４階 ℹ️ https://kerstbloem.com/ __________ . . . . . #kerstbloem #routecafeandthings #クリスマス #クリスマスオーナメント #pr . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #cafestagram #tokyocafe #marunouchibuilding #tokyostation #christmasintokyo #winterintokyo #tokyochristmasmarket #ChristkindlMarkt #東京女子部 #東京カフェ巡り #セレクトショップ #丸の内ビル #東京駅 #丸の内　#丸ビル　#クリスマスマーケット #カフェ巡り #カフェ巡り部 #カフェタイム #カフェスイーツ

𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚋𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚜 & 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚗 __________ This was taken nearly exactly one year ago, back when Starbucks and Shinkansen hunting was a regular part of my Tokyo mama life😭 I took my mini rail fan to The Railway Museum in Omiya for her 3rd birthday. On the way back, we stopped by this Starbucks inside Sepia Tower near Tokyo Station. It’s popular with the trainspotting crowd for its impressive views of high-speed bullet trains and local trains, too. I genuinely miss those weekend outings but am grateful for all the new memories the past year has given us👩‍👧 一年前までは電車や新幹線が見えるカフェ巡りによく行きました。この日は鉄博に行って、帰りに東京ステーションシティ サピアタワーのスタバに寄りました。 当時、3歳になったばかりのチビ鉄ちゃんと電車でいろんなところに行く計画を立てたのに...また電車を乗って、いろんなところに連れて行ってあげたい！ __________ . . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #findmytokyo #tokyolife #shinkansen #myjapan #japanblog #japanesetrains #instagramjapan #igtokyo #tokyocameraclub #railfan #trainspotting #igersjapan #railfans #igerstokyo #tokyomama #instagramjapan #igtokyo #onlyinjapan #starbucksjapan #鉄道ファン #電車好き 　#東京駅 #ママ撮　新幹線 #ママ鉄#子鉄 #東京ママ #東京カメラ部　#東京女子部 #ipreview via @preview.app

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: ⁣ “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." —Maya Angelou __________ 📍 @route_cafe_and_things 💄 @chicaychico_official __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #tokyocafe #igerstokyo #igersjp #selca #selcagram #selfiespam #naturalglam #selfie #wiwt #ootd #lookoftheday #qotd #instastyle #quoteoftheday #learnjapanese #きょコ　#アラフォーママ　#アラフォーママコーデ　#ママコーデ #自撮り　#自撮り女子 #ファッション　#セルフィー #東京女子部 #カフェ巡り #カフェタイム #丑年 #ipreview via @preview.app

𝙱𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚑𝚍𝚊𝚢 𝙿𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 __________ Earlier this week, I made pancakes for Miss M’s birthday, and I took a few photos to send to her dad. When I was scrolling back to choose the best ones to send, I noticed @thebirthposter in the background. This photo is basically the perfect “how it started versus how it’s going” snap, and it’s purely unintentional! My baby is now 4️⃣, and it’s surreal to believe that she was once that tiny!🥰 Those sentimental moments really do sneak up on you, don’t they! 朝食の様子を撮って、ベストショットを選択して夫に送ろうと思ったら、背景に 等身大イラストポスターが壁に飾ってあるのを気づいた！@thebirthposter その「バースポスター　(The Birth Poster)」とは、娘の生まれた時の身長で描いた赤ちゃんのイラスト。こう見ると、本当に成長しただね！とついに思ってしまいます😭 _____________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #birthposter #birthdaypancakes #sweettooth #happybirthday #clickinmoms #momlife #motherhoodunplugged #stopgrowing #honestmotherhood #ig_motherhood #mytinymoments #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhoodthroughinstagram #documentyourdays #mommylife #ohheymama #birthday #birthdaygirl #momlifeisthebestlife #love_kodomo_japan #kidsgram_tokyo #kidsgram_japan　#バスポスター #ママライフ　#ママスタ　#ママスタグラム　#子育てぐらむ
