The exact moment when my daughter said to me “Mommy you’re kinda fat” 😂😂😂 Oh the funny things kids say! Has your kid said anything without a filter lately? (To be clear, I’m not fishing for compliments or asking for reassurance. This post is just to laugh together about the funny things kids say. Keep a sense of humor, people!) #momlife #motherhood #funnythingskidssay #3under3 #lifewithpreschoolers #lifewithlittles

You think I’m joking though... #butfirstcoffee #coffee #coffeefirst #momlife

Sakura season in Japan reminds me of Christmas. It’s a long awaited season; it signals the arrival of a new year and brings a thrill of hope for new things to come. Like Christmas, it’s anticipated all year and when it arrives, brings joy and respite from the challenges of everyday life. It’s a time a pause from busyness and routine to celebrate and spend time with friends and family. You can’t help but be reminded of this season everywhere here; the cherry blossom trees are not only in the well known tourist spots but surround you in your everyday life. The most scenic views are off the beaten track. Yesterday I happened to walk through an enormous cemetery which happened to have Sakura trees lining every path. The trees are no longer in full bloom and the blossoms are fading while the leaves are growing. This metaphor was not lost on me; to be walking through a cemetery while the trees continued their ebb and flow of death and life reminded me that while things can be challenging and sometimes the days seem dark, hope and new life are just around the corner. #cherryblossom #sakuraseason #expatlife #expat #expatlifecycle #thirdculturekid #expatfam #expatintokyo #expatinjapan #traveljapan

I don’t know how anyone takes a cute picture for the gram when they have kids. I want to look calm, cool, and collected but the fact is I’m none of those things, even without kids! I posted these in my stories this week so I thought I’d share the fun here too. After all, who am I if not authentic? 1- When you want to take a cute pic for the gram but you have kids. 2-When you’re tired of seeing cherry blossoms. 3- When you’re trying to enjoy it but you can’t. 4-When you’re trying to take a cute outfit pic but you can’t bc you’re staring at your misbehaving kids. 5- Mom face. #momlife #expatmomlife #expatfam #travelingfam #thirdculturekids

This didn’t make it for Coffee Saturday but I thought I should let you know that you never have to ask me if I want a cup. I think the answer is obvi by now. #coffeesaturday #butfirstcoffee #coffee #momlife
