I haven’t had a lot of time to draw this week, but here’s a quick sketch I did of K and one of her buddies. I’ve never had a problem making friends but it’s very difficult for me to keep them. It’s important to me that K has English speaking pals as she grows up here but my own desire for companionship has waned as I get older. I have one friend in Japan that I love and treasure and wish I’d met long ago but I suppose we met at the prime bonding time (that four month moment postpartum when reality hits). But for K I’ve been reaching out a bit more for friends and it’s been mostly unsuccessful. I’ve found a few Japanese friends and such, and one other immigrant. Her son, the little boy in the sketch, was born a few days after K. He’s super sweet and signs a lot and seems very gentle. Hopefully we can stay in touch with them - they don’t live especially close. But it’s hard for me to really put in the effort with most people, as lovely as they may be. I don’t know why. I guess I’m just a sloth deep down. Solitary and slow to action. Somewhat mossy. . . . . . . . . . . #sketch#doodle#drawing#art#illustration#illustrator#blog#instablog#instaart#momblog#momjournal#buddies#pals#toddlers#toddlerlife#toddlerpals#friends#friendship#draw#pencil#pencilsketch#pencildrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvl15okns2h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ck5zd4sytg0

Being a mom with an invisible illness is difficult, but it makes the good days that much sweeter. As moms or parents in general. We can't really take a sick day or a day off. And when you struggle with an invisible illness like: EDS IST POTS PPD MS Depression Anxiety ... just to name a few ... If we are able to ask for help so we can care for ourselves. Do so.... So, the next day after an episode or flare up we can actually enjoy the time we get with our little humans. #journeywithme #journeytohealth #healthjourney #healthjournal #thursdayvibes #thursday #californiamom #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #invisibleillnessawareness #ist #potssyndrome #potssyndromeawareness #eds #elhersdanlossyndrome #elhersdanlos #momjourney #momjournal #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #tryingtolive #tryingtolivemybestlife #oktonotbeok #selflove #takecareofyourself #connectingmoms #toddlerparent #depressionawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwq0HYlX6T/?utm_medium=tumblr

Morning discussions with #evelynbryant : We were talking about how daddy's job must be fun 'cause sometimes he gets to meet firemen. 🤣😍🤤🔥 Then I told her how much I love my job being a mom and that oftentimes it's enjoyable to teach dance or write my book. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked her. "A paleontologist!" She replied 😯🤷‍♀️ (thank God for autocorrect 'cause I could barely even spell that 🤣) "Uh... what's that?" I asked (guys, I literally forgot what it was 🤦‍♀️🤣 #mombrain #babybrain #pp)... "It's a grown up girl that digs dinosaur bones and builds them together." Haha. I love our daughter. She's so stinking smart! Btw this pic is #moon #filter #moonfilter how ironic I accidentally selected that on weekend of the full cancer moon eclipse?! AND she's wearing her witch costume (ooooooooooh)! #abouttimeigobacktoschool #haha #momjournal #youtubemama #blogger #igblog #instablog #fbblogger #fbblog #writer #danceteacher #grownuptalks #kidtalks (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MBSzNlMwa/?igshid=1qnvccvwyzcty

Check out the #behindthescenes of what I'm working on right now 🌸. . . So sorry I missed posting last week bliss fam these series posts are turning out meatier as I dive into creating them. I may go to s bi-weekly post schedule since it seems with #Homeschool and #momlife dispersed in between it's taking about that time. . . #homeschoolblogger #homeschoolblog moms #momblogger s #momblog #youtubemom #momvlogger how much time do you usually spend on your weekly posts? Would love to hear about what your #blogginglife looks like and any #bloggingtips you have learned. . . I've started printing out my posts to edit vs. editing on screen after doing a Microsoft spell check and run through the #hemingwayapp. It's become much easier, but #blogginggals each blog post with images is about 10 ish pages (!). I get flashbacks of English lit every.time I edit. It's been a growth process to hone my written communication skills, and am so grateful to *feel* where growth 🌱is happening in my writing and speaking. . . Are you a blogger, vlogger or #writer?

There is a loud strength in mothers who journal. They are comfortable in their own skill. They are dreamers.

#BookPreview #GroningenMomsJournal from @anintakanila - . "Saya tidak boleh hanya berpangku tangan dan menunggu durian runtuh dari langit. Saya singsingkan lengan daster saya, seragam sehari-hari saya, kembali membuka laptop, dan mulai lagi perjalanan mencari beasiswa." ° Tentu ketika berkeluarga, cara kita mengambil keputusan akan berbeda dibanding ketika saat single, muda, dan bebas. Jika pada suatu hari, sang suami tidak bertanya soal impian Monika yang tertunda, mungkin buku ini tidak ada, hari ini akan berbeda. Namun sekali lagi, itu bukan keputusan yang mudah karena hidup akan berubah. Ya, Monika mengubah jalan hidupnya bahkan keluarganya. Menerima naskah seperti ini membuat saya menyadari banyak celetukan di sekitar saya yang bisa saja menjadi kenyataan. Bahwa saya punya tujuan dalam hidup ini dan tidak boleh dilupakan. Saya jadi percaya, bila sebuah 'rumah' diperuntukkan pada kita, maka sebuah jalan akan terbentang. Maka yang jadi pertanyaan, maukah kita 'berkendara' menyusurinya? . Buku ini tidak seromantis pikiran saya. Dia memberikan banyak informasi tentang kehidupan di Belanda sebagai sebuah keluarga perantau. Sederhana. Saking sederhananya, saya jadi terpesona. . . . #editorschoice #recommendedbook #Groningen #MomJournal #journal #scholarship #studyabroad #journal #family #MonikaOktora #elexmedia #nonfiction #selfimprovement #books #bookstagram #booklovers http://ift.tt/2neeRsm

I’m too stressed to write much today. It’s so nice out and I wish I could walk down the road I used to walk down behind my mom’s house in my hometown. There isn’t a lot of nature within walking distance here. Maybe one small reservoir but it’s usually windy (a bit elevated) and there are no places to change a baby bum. Today we will venture a little farther to a forest park I know of. Last time we were there half was sectioned off but she mostly just wanted to play with the acorns anyway, so... I’m sorry because drawing has been tough this week. She really wants to join in and draw too (violently). . . . . . . . . . #abitglum#doodle#drawing#sketch#momblog#momjournal#momguilt#instablog#momabroad#homesick#doodling#pen#ink#hurried#quick#tired#mominjapan#japanbaby#babyabroad#lifeabroad https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAWZsAHNTA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sdia3yjejyva

Poor kid just wants to play with the older kids, but they (usually understandably) want nothing to do with her. She takes it pretty hard. . I’m also still pretty torn on daycare. Deep down I just want to do this illustration work I’ve been doing here and there and then When I can Take K-Chan to the forest park And wander through the trees On a weekday when it’s so quiet And not feel like a leech doing so I draw when I can but it’s hard when she’s home with me (99.99% of the time). I’ll never be a professional artist anyway but it’d be impossible like this. I don’t really know what I want. . . . . . . . . . . #momabroad#babyabroad#quicksketch#doodle#drawing#art#momart#toddler#doodles#momblog#momjournal#daycarewoes#momdiary#diary#journal#saitamamama#japanmom#mominjapan#momlife#japanlife#saitamamamacomic#babygirl#instablog#poorkid#gregarious https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt5vrW-H-rP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ozidpivk5zip

I turned 30 this weekend. It was nice. We went to a little old-fashioned cottage at the foot of a mountain with a little train just far enough away to create a nice little lull of gatan-goton, gatan-goton. We had one of the fanciest dinners I've ever had, and I had a lot of snacks. We lounged in the hot spring in the room, and laughed as K-Chan interfered gleefully with the staff as they tried to set out the futons. But man, the futons. K-Chan has slept in her crib since she came home from the clinic with us, I just never tried or did anything else. I'm not saying she slept there all night (hahaha) or even for more than a few hours a night (sob sob) but she has, for the majority of her night sleep, been in her crib. Maybe that's why she hates futons. So yeah, there was a lot of screaming. I am glad we were a little remote from anyone who could have possibly heard her. Also she caught a head cold and was conked out whenever we were driving today, which was a lot. We will see how she sleeps tonight back in her own bed. Sorry, K. And thank you, to my husband. It was a great weekend. . . . . . . . . . #baby#babyblog#toddlerlife#poorbaby#sorrybaby#saitamamama#saitamamamacomic#art#doodle#quicksketch#drawing#doodle#momjournal#momblog#doodles#sketches#instablog#instamom#momabroad#sobsob#thirty#赤ちゃん#ママライフ#ママリ#diary#journal#wah https://www.instagram.com/p/BtsxHiVnr-2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i9ds89fuv0dg

This is just a little moment in time. We don't have a TV and we are usually out and about so we don't really watch much of anything, but the other day we trimmed her bangs and I put on The Circle of Life to decrease fidgeting. She looks really cute! And she just sat and tucked her fingers under her knees and watched intently. I will admit I find some of the Japanese kids' shows kind of creepy. Well, Anpanman is creepy. Just the designs. And Horror Man? I guess it's not that weird. I liked a lot of morbid stuff as a kid, I think, and a lot of the stuff we watched when we were little is surprisingly dark - even stuff like Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers, so I don't know why I'm all sensitive now. I mean, I'm not really. She doesn't watch any of it, but that's not really why. It just surprises me how often I think, "Yikes.". Actually I'm not as excited to watch or read a lot of my old favorites as I thought I would be. Some books I used to love I got for her and when I sat down to read them, they held no magic. Same with some shows or movies. I guess I will see if they resonate with her, though. Maybe it will ignite something. But if she doesn't like them, or even things I still love, I hope I can support her and cheer her on. She already does like Anpanman, and that's fine. I'll try to learn how to draw all the characters for her and her friends (but I still think he looks creepy!). Also, if anyone reads this far, I accidentally put her real name in one of my posts so I had to quickly edit it. If you happen to see something beside K-chan and think I slipped up again, please let me know. I try to keep her anonymity. . . . . . . . . . . #drawing#sketch#baby#toddler#doodle#lifedrawing#drawingfromlife#babymodel#littlegirl#momblog#momjournal#sketches#pencil#doodles#doodling#art#momdiary#instamom#momlife#mamablog#instajournal#thoughts#momthoughts#screentime#momabroad#mominjapan#babyabroad#japanparenting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu20l8pnSdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wscbn5nzvfiy

Today was one of those 'I am a terrible friend, mother, spouse and all around person' type of days. And II I have been lately sleeping in if I can get K to go back to sleep since she's been waking up early early - about 4am. That means my husband has to fend for himself for breakfast, basically toast or yogurt or whatever. So last night I prepared his breakfast and tried to make it good, and dreaded another early wake up. Of course, she ended up sleeping great. She slept until past seven am. Thanks, my little baby. But I was easily frustrated today and I don't know why. She was great on the train - over an hour long ride. She was fantastic at jidoukan, with the exception of some gentle pushing. She is the perfect child and a typical toddler. But the demanding of 'up down up down up down' in the train station and swatting at my phone while I tried to look up directions - admittedly minor things - was really grating today. Why? I don't know. It's like I was looking for an excuse to be grumpy. I met some new friends today though and I feel bad that I was in a funk. Was it the rain? On the way back I stopped at the supermarket and suddenly realized my shop (and bank) cards were missing from my wallet. Oops. Panicked a bit on the way home until I climbed the steps to my apartment and realized the cards were right there. On the ground. Untouched. So yeah. Thanks neighbors. Sorry Sarah for being a crab, thanks for playing with us today. Sorry K-chan for being a grump, thanks for your patience, don't ever think I don't love you. Sorry husband, your breakfast tomorrow will be plentiful but probably cold. Sorry me for being a butt. I love my toddler. I wish I loved myself as much. HAHA just kidding, that's impossible. But a little more self esteem would be nice. I think we will just go to the park tomorrow after a trip to the post office. Just the two of us, and hopefully I will be a better mom tomorrow. . . . . . . . . #momblog#instagramblog#momjournal#momabroad#babyabroad#mominjapan#japanmom#americaninjapan#oops#imdumb#gloomy#moody#toddlerjournal#toddlermom#toddlersketch#sketch#baby#toddler#doodle#drawing#pencil#pencilsketch#pencilart#doodles#sketches#babygirl https://www.instagram.com/p/Buszw5bnRUP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=egk2rkhebegd

I kind of lost my train of thought on this one. I did it quickly this morning while K-chan enjoyed trying to take her own temperature ("TWO...ONE...BEEP.". We went to the park yesterday and it was super fun, but when my husband showed me all the photos he had taken after dinner I felt a little blah, because I looked awful. I haven't worn make-up ever, and I cut my own hair to save money and because I haven't found a decent salon around here that can cut my hair. Excuses, excuses! But actually as I was getting ready to shower, I looked at myself and was totally fine with how I look. Actually I have never had serious issues with my body, except maybe when I was 14 which is totally normal. I'm just not super photogenic. I guess it's an uncommon sentiment but I like how I look naked much better than how I look any other way. Obviously that just means I don't make good fashion choices, but, whatever. I finally got some petite pants from America (thanks dad) and I feel a little better in those. Less baggy ankles. But still. I was lucky enough to have an easy pregnancy with minimal swelling or weight gain and recovery was pretty easy too, but of course my body isn't the same as it was. But it isn't necessarily bad, to me. And it's not that different (again, luck, I guess? Diet? A little exercise lol). So yeah I don't have a profound statement to make here. It's just what I was thinking last night as I fell asleep. At midnight. Finally. I wonder how K will do as she grows up here in Japan. My body type isn't too hard to shop for here (I am pretty short for an American) but still, I have trouble finding anything that looks good). Hopefully she has more inate fashion sense than I do. I will continue wearing my old worn out GAP sweaters and trying not to slosh coffee all over them. . . . . . . . . . #postpartum#butlikeoverayearpostpartum#body#bodypositivity#badposture#standupstraight#asislouchatthePC#toddler#baby#momblog#momjournal#momdiary#momart#blah#cartoon#comic#webcomic#slouch#posture#sag#saggymom#momabroad#postpartumbody#postpartumrecovery#ilikemybody#exceptmyfacemaybe#exceptinthemirror#nonphotogenic#blah#thoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/BuisNDoHZUR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=diqad0m3fjfi

Super quick sketch but I feel like I have to draw something in order to post. K-chan is feeding Duplo/cake to her buddy the lion. I grew up in a really rural area. No neighbors in sight, except maybe my aunt’s house up the hill if you stood halfway down our driveway. There are no grassy areas in walking distance of my apartment let alone a New England forest full of chirping birds and no people. It feels crushing sometimes, so today I did a Self Care Day (that feels so cheesy to type out) and went to Shinrinkoen, the forest park north of us. It was nice. I don’t know if she loved it but she could roam without constantly holding my hand. She really likes her independence. I know it’s totally normal and it’s only the beginning but I’m still allowed to be a little sad about it right? A little? My mom will probably always be sad I moved away and had her only granddaughter thousands of miles away. Sorry mom (I don’t think she reads this). I spent too much money today though so I feel kind of guilty... . . . . . . . . . . #drawing#momblog#sketch#draw#momjournal#momguilt#sahm#sahmmomguilt#independentvaby#nonono#quicksketch#doodle#instablog#instajournal#dumbmomstuff#doodles#mybaby#growingup#toddler#toddlerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJA8k_HCfv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xcc1clwvgrbq
