Repost from @misskaciesunshine ::: Did you know that you wear at least 3 robes while wearing a kimono? There’s the underwear layer, a robe over that, and then an outer robe which is the one that you see. In addition to the collar on the robe, there are 1-2 other collars, which can add style and personality. Then there’s the layers around your waist, many many layers. Nothing is zipped or buttoned, it’s all tied or folded. I’m not trying to use the Japanese names for each piece because I’ll mess it up, but every single piece has significance. Putting it on is a process that makes you slow down, be present in the moment, connect with your thoughts. The process helps you connect with the past while progressing into the future. Time seems to slow down while the modern world spins at warp speed. And yet the past is ever present.

Hashtag am I right?! Do you EVEN get anything done without coffee? #coffeesaturday #butfirstcoffee #coffee #momlife

Repost from @misskaciesunshine: A few weeks ago I did a kimono photo shoot with @inkimono . She put together my entire kimono and included special touches just for me, the result couldnt have been more perfect! I can’t wait to show you some of the full length photos! With every piece she put on me she told me about the name, the history, the significance. It was incredibly special, it felt almost sacred, to wear a kimono and learn more about this beautiful country that’s hosted me and my family these last several months. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a child to spend more time in Japan, and to have the opportunity to learn about the history and culture through traditional dress was a beautiful experience. Thank you Stasia !! If you’re in Tokyo I can’t recommend her enough! More pictures to come!

We had our first snow “storm” here in Tokyo this weekend. To those of you from the northern hemisphere you would laugh off my use of the word “storm”. But my people from Southern California will understand. It’s freezing but we’re enjoying the magic of it all! #snowintokyo #snowstorm #snow #expatlife #expatintokyo #itsallaboutperspective #letitsnow

It’s called priorities, people. #butfirstcoffee #coffee #coffeememe #funnycoffee #momlife #coffeesaturday

Our family pictures at Disneyland generally come out great. #disney #disneyfamily #tokyodisney #expatfam #expatlife #family #3under3
