We had the most PERFECT morning spent at Share Green in Minami Aoyama this morning! 😍 Share Green is little patch of paradise featuring a wonderful coffee shop, large turf (hence the “green” in the name!), outdoor seating, and a lovely plant shop! This is definitely being added to my list of favorite mom and baby meetup spots in Tokyo! Share Green is definitely worth the trip, you won’t be disappointed! ✨Added bonus: they have a changing table in their restroom! 🙌 • • • #sharegreenminamiaoyama #aoyama #minamiaoyama #littledarlingcoffeeroasters #tokyocafe #tokyo #mytokyolife #urbancafe #tokyomom #青山 #南青山
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Have you seen the plum blossoms blooming yet? 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Plum blossoms are, in my opinion, just as gorgeous as sakura but without the giant crowds! We visited them at our local garden this past weekend and it was so lovely. I love how Japan celebrates taking some time to go see these natural events because it really helps get your heart ready for the next season. Spring, we are ready for you! • • • #plumblossom #hanami #springintokyo #tokyo #koishikawabotanicalgarden #mytokyolife #tokyomom #boymom #spring2019 #ume
How do you keep up with your mom friends as baby gets older? 🐶 🐶 Recently, I’ve been finding it quite tough to keep up with as many play dates and baby related outings as we were doing last year. Now that he’s firmly on one nap (and right in the middle of the day) it feels like we don’t have much time on either end for our social calendar like we did last year. I’m realizing just how easy it was having a little baby who would nap in the carrier anywhere and everywhere and sit nicely playing with his toys while the mamas chatted! These days it’s tough to find a good time and place to meet with all these walking but still not very independent babies. If you have suggestions, please let me know! I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so we can return to our favorite parks for picnics! Sorry Asahi, in the meantime you’re stuck venturing around our neighborhood with boring old mom! • • • #honestmotherhood #everythingisaphase #transitions #naptransition #mytokyolife #toddlerlife #sahm #tokyowithkids #reflections #springready #boymom
✨New Blog Post!✨ Have you ever experienced mastitis or blocked ducts? I have 🙋‍♀️ and honestly, it’s pretty much the worst. About two weeks ago I had a pretty mad blocked duct that I was worried would turn into mastitis. Thankfully, I caught it early and was able to use several at home techniques to remedy it. It got me thinking about how little I knew about mastitis, blocked ducts, and their treatments before I experienced it for the first time at 3 weeks pp. I’m sharing all my tips on the blog on how to heal up without antibiotics. I wish I had read something like this when I was pregnant so I would know what to look for!

😍I. Cannot. Handle. His cuteness! 😍 “Inai inai ...baa!” Is like playing peek a boo in Japanese and Asahi finally starting doing it consistently this week! We don’t really practice it that often and it always amazes me what he absorbs unintentionally. It’s cute now but I bet I won’t think so when it’s naughty words being shouted at the grocery store in a few years! 🤪 • • • #いないいないばぁ #peekaboo #japanesebaby #tokyomom #hafubaby #tokyowithkids #mytokyolife #boymom
