It’s taken me nearly 5 years to feel like myself again…and sometimes I feel like I’m regressing. But, what started out last April out of anger and embarrassment has turned out to be a journey to self-care. Finally I can see my self-worth outside of being a mom and what I can offer my employer. #workinprogress __________⁣ Read: An Unfiltered Look at Working Mom Life in Japan https://thewagamamadiaries.com/unfiltered-look-at-working-mom-life-in-japan/ __________⁣ . .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #thewagamamadiaries #knowyourworth #selfcare #mentalhealth #ohheymama #motherhoodunplugged #takeastep #findyourpath #ikigai #loveyourself #keepgoing #lawofattraction #livelaughlove #bebetter #goodvibesonly #capturingmotherhood #stylepost #japanblog #inbeautyandchaos #selfcareisnotselfish #selfcareisimportant #selfcareissexy #melaninandmentalhealth #justamom #momdiary #maternalmentalhealth #bodypositivity #realmomstyle via @preview.app

The transition from unemployed, to full-time content creator, to starting @edobeautylab was a bumpy path where I doubted myself many, many times. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with @mara.budin for The Japan Times about my experience and the social and economic value of women’s unpaid domestic work. The article is now live, and I’d appreciate it if you gave it a read — link in bio under “What’s New” 👀 __________ “Pandemic magnifying household gender roles in Japan” — Mara Budgen https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/06/21/national/social-issues/women-work-gender-roles/ __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #genderroles #womeninjapan #lifeinjapan #japanlife #tokyomama #motherhoodunplugged #teamnatural #motherdaughter #knowyourworth #myreason #tokyomama #ohheymama #findyourpath #ikigai #loveyourself #keepgoing #doyouforyou #lawofattraction #livelaughlove #bebetter #goodvibesonly #capturingmotherhood #inbeautyandchaos #naturallyme #naturallyshesdope #melaninandmentalhealth #justamom #momdiary #maternalmentalhealth via @preview.app

I think Miss M has discovered her new passion — photography📸 We visited one of my favorite cafes, Dentokogei Café Artisan, which features the locally grown leafy vegetable, komatsuna, in nearly all its offerings.

The traditional calendar divides the solar year into 72 “microseasons”(七十二候 | Shichijuni-ko), each lasting about 5 days long. Sept 1 was the end of “Tenchi hajimete samushi (天地始粛”) or “Heaven and earth begin to cool down.” Pretty appropriate since we started the month with late October temperatures! 🍂 From Sept 2, it’s “Kokumono sunawachi minoru” (禾乃登) or when rice starts to turn into a golden color. Autumn just happens to be my favorite season and rice my favorite carb so I can’t wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節 | chushusetsu) and rice cakes (月見団子 | Tsukimi Dango). Oh, and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are *finally* coming (back) to Japan! Where are all my autumn lovers at?!🍂👻🎃 __________ . . . . . . . . . . . #thewagammamadiaries #myjapan #autumnrain #tokyomama #lifeinjapan #japanlife #discoverjapan #learnjapanese #unknownjapan #myjapan #lifeinjapan #japanlife #japanesecustoms #japaneseculture #japan #japanblog #japanblogger #japaneseblogger #japanfocus #ilovejapan #lookoftheday #ootd #protectivehairstyles #crochetbraids #protectivehairstylesfornaturalhair #ブレイズヘア　#秋の風　#東京ママ　#きょコ #ipreview via @preview.app
𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚁𝚊𝚙𝚞𝚗𝚣𝚎𝚕 𝙼𝚎𝚝 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙴𝚛𝚒𝚌 ___________ 夢の国での不思議な出会い🤴🏻👸🏼Motherhood in Japan/teaching in Japan post! I’m pretty sure there are some who think I shouldn’t be encouraging my mixed race child to dress up as a blonde, green eyed Disney character… but then again, I’m not gonna go around telling her she can’t like Rapunzel because of her skin color! For what it’s worth, rounding out my girl’s top 3 Disney princesses are Mulan and Pocahontas. Which is funny because in my entire teaching career I never had a student who liked or was even aware of Pocahontas. And the one girl who loved Mulan was half Japanese and half Chinese… Which brings me to another student… in the first kindergarten class that I taught upon my return from maternity/childcare leave, I had a young (Japanese) boy who was absolutely ✨enchanted✨ by Cinderella. His lunchbox & lunch accessories and water bottle all had Cinderella on it! In the end, kids like what they like, and I think it’s nice to let them have their fun while growing up with a positive sense of self. So while my daughter loves Rapunzel’s glowing locks, she also loves her own curly brown hair… and never hesitates to flex her growth on Wash Day👧🏽💆🏽‍♀️ QOTD: Favorite Disney Princess (if any)??? ___________ . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #partofyourworld #allthingsdisney #instadisney #disneygram #tokyodisneyresort #tokyodisneysea #mermaidlagoon #disneysea #disneyig #disneymagic #disneyfan #igdisney #rapunzel #disneyparks #disneyworld #disneylover #disneylife #instadisney #disneyphotography #ママ撮　#ディズニーリゾート #東京ディズニーシー #東京ディズニーリゾート #ディズニー写真部 #ディズニーシー #ディズニー風景#ファインダー越しのディズニーの世界#ラプンツェル via @preview.app
