I made another 2 "moving pockets" for my younger daughter because she was envious of my elder daughter... I don't know when she will use these, but she wants them. That's all. Anyway, if she uses them carefully, she can use them when she b…

I made this "moving pocket" for my elder daughter. She likes to wear dresses on the leggings, but they don't have the pockets. So, she asked me to prepare them. Since I have a lot of cloth and it was easy to make, I was glad to make them! …

These are the wildflowers that my daughters picked up while walking. My husband bought me a small vase for wildflowers, because he knows that I like wild small flowers🥰 And, the small tree is our acorn! There are 5~6 seeds sprouting.

I plan to make the stamps with these flowers' seeds again. I did it in 2020 with my elder daughter! I know the flowers have a slight toxin, so we'll have to be careful to handle these flowers. Anyway, usually the flower is orange, so pink …

I cooked "Niku-maki", vegetables rolled in a sliced meat plate. Since it's very rare for us to eat this (because it takes a bit longer than other simple meals), my daughters didn't remember this food. And, they came to like it sooooo much✌

My 4yo daughter still likes picking up the leaves and flowers. (sometimes, sticks and stones as well🤭) Since it becomes a beautiful warm spring, the chance she picks up things and stops to walk for that is increasing...😂
