How do you like my new red boots?

I bought these boots for Saya in preparation for the rainy season, but they are also perfect for wading in the river. I returned to my new favorite spot with Saya today. It is the perfect distance from our house to get a good workout biking there, and it’s really quiet and lovely. [...]

It rained all day on Saturday. Junji was working, and Saya and I tried to find ways to entertain ourselves at home. She was so sweet coloring pictures and getting cozy on the futon, but by three o’clock I felt like we just had to get out of the house, so we went [...]

My friend has been reading the Pippi Longstocking books to her three kids, and I was so excited when she told me because the Pippi Longstocking movie was one of my favorites as a kid. I had to download it and invite them all over for a movie night. Does anyone else remember this movie?
We [...]

The other day, when we were out for udon with Saya’s grandfather, we saw this beautiful family with two little boys. They all looked so good in their natural hippy style clothing. The boys were dressed alike with tunics and striped pants. They looked so comfortable and cute, and Saya already had [...]
