Learning how to do school (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We arrived in America intending to homeschool, mostly because we didn’t want to complicate our housing search, but also because we wanted more flexibility (to travel!) And honestly, the kids have been in 4 different school districts in the past 7 years, and I haven’t been super impressed with any of them (we see a lot of the same problems in every public school)…plus, there’s the safety issue (American schools are in the news way too often).

Japan Reunion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We miss Japan so much, and since it's not easy to stop back in for a visit, we did the next best thing: we hosted a reunion party!

I rarely saw any animals unless they were encouraged to stick around (like the deer on Miyajima)…not even squirrels or rabbits!At our new home in America we have multiple families of deer that frequent our yard, as well as foxes, and birds (the cardinals always catch my eye!) We also see groundhogs, geese, and squirrels (grey, red, and black) on a daily basis!During a bike ride this weekend (yes, we finally got to spend an af
