Yesterday, I had 2h of free time during waiting for my elder daughter's trial lesson. So, at first, I went to the 100-yen shop which is my power spot, and after that, I entered the old-style cafe. The cheese lemon butter cake was very deli…

Broccoli of our garden! I didn't know when is the best season for broccoli, and we seed them in summer. Their leaves were all eaten by bugs during the summer and autumn seasons, but in winter, they began to grow and buds formed! Now, we ca…

Since I've never had pets like dogs or cats, I felt scared of the small dog of my husband's family. She was born 6 months earlier than my elder daughter, so I've known her for six years. On the last visit to their home, she finally jumped …

We got these books from my husband's family home. My daughters wanted to read these books immediately, and the elder one started to read one of them when she rode the car to our home (but only for waiting time). These books are new to me t…

My daughter drew this picture for her grandfather. Of course, this is Mt. Fuji I think she was very observant. We visited to the "nice viewpoint" of Mt Fuji, at that time. She loves her grandfather and cried that she didn't want to back ho…

We found a lovely Tree house near Higashi-Shizuoka station. We didn't intend to play there but played with it for a while. Especially our daughters liked this small wooden swing. There were also many trees, dropped acorns, and a huge lawn.…

My daughter and her grandpa (and I) played the "Diamond game" yesterday. It was the first time she played a "Board game" with adults, and grandpa and I forgot the rule of this game. It was a very close game, and my 6yo daughter enjoyed it …

It's a tote bag which I bought at a bookstore in London. I found this bag is thick and heavy, but very good as a library bag! Our house is very near to the library, and my elder daughter began to read the books by herself, we'll go there m…

We found this kind of acorn(?) at the shrine. Since my little daughter is crazy about acorns, she wanted to pick up them all. Of course, we brought a paper bag for collecting leaves, acorns, and stones. So she gathered acorns with intense …

We went to the nearest Shrine. It was the first time for them to go and pray at the Shrine because my husband is a Christian. They rang the bell, bowed, clapped, and prayed. We also get the oracle for this year. My elder daughter loves it …

We went to a park yesterday and played traditional Japanese "New Year Games". Hanging up the kite and playing badminton with a wooden battledore (Hagoita). It was a very warm clear day, so my daughters didn't wear their jackets. What a pea…

Yesterday's lunch! was, Chirashi-zushi. Last year, we were in the UK, so we couldn't eat the fresh raw fish with reasonable price. Also, no mochi, no Osechi, and no Zenzai, because they were sold out. This year, we are very happy to have t…
