Ok, Ima cheap date.
Today I felt the pullllllllll…. It has been months since I have had a break from the children (aside from errands… booooooooo) and this mama needed a minute. A Date. A quiet moment with just Dear Husband to connect and disconnect.
Read MoreWelp, its been 7 weeks so far of quarantine…. Things are lifting slowly in our area, a couple of parks and a mountain where we can hike… We also welcomed Dad back home, his ship stayed an extra month+ at sea due to the virus, But the biggest YEY we have had in so long….
All in all, we are happy, healthy, together… We are in a very very good situation in southern Japan where our base has done everything I feel in its power to keep Covid Clear—- Our families back home are safe and sound as well, we are grateful every single day for this. The kids have been homeschool and virtual schooling, and all of them have been tapping into creative projects—- Dear Madi Paige, well she is still making masks.
Read MoreI know, my galleries are long… Its like ‘enough already’… But when your kids are this cute, every picture is a GEM to me!!!
Its our last Spring in Japan…. I dont know how I feel about this…. We are so so so excited about the new adventure ahead, yet saying farewell to this country after so much time spent here will be hard….
Read MoreChiwata Falls is one of our favorite little playgrounds nestled between the mountains here in Nagasaki Prefecture… Its an easy hike down the Chiwata River, swimming holes along the way (Summer Vibing already to get back to that!), to a beautiful tall fall at the end…
Read MoreThis past Fall was pretty awesome… Husband was home and had some time off, so we took to the road as much as possible! These are my favorite moments… All of us piled up in a mini van, lots of snacks, windows down, a good playlist…. Mt Aso NEVER disappoints…
Read MoreThis has been on the radar for a long time… Each time we tried to go over the last two years, the weather hasnt cooperated, or well, the ships schedule hasnt! But this past Fall we made it happen… We planned out a day trip to hit up this amazing Gorge in Takachiho, followed by a drive up to Mt Aso!

I know it sounds cliche, but where has the time gone???? It was just yesterday her little hand was in mine, as we walked side by side, big butterfly wings, pig tails, striped tights… when she danced on the bed, rocking out to Pink
Read MoreWhen we first brought up the idea of road tripping up to Kyoto, Andrew had put this at the top of his Must Do list… I have to admit, in the beginning I thought it sounded a little corny—- Like a hokey tourist thing—- I admit when Im wrong! And I was wicked wrong…
Read MoreOk, yeah, Part 2…. Im a horrible Blogger—- Trying to be better come 2020. Goals Ya’ll!
More Kyoto….
Read MoreAwwww man. Where to even start… Ill keep it simple I suppose, especially since I included so many pictures! ;)
Kyoto Japan.
It has been on my Bucket List for years, grouped in with that ever nagging feeling of “unfinished” when we left Japan 5 years ago… I had dreams of walking the cobblestone streets of the Geisha District, seeing shrines that date hundreds of years back, strolling along the Oi River, imagining what this land looked like 500 years ago. I am so so happy Dear Husband and I made this happen.
