AUTUMN WEEKEND PARK TIME

What's better than swinging in a blue jacket?  Swinging in a blue jacket.. with a mullet!  Rock On!

 

 

 

HALLOWEEN

Every year a few very dedicated Moms in Hiroshima throw a kids Halloween party in a neighborhood park.  It has become quite legendary so I was excited to whip together a costume for Baby O and head along.
Wow!  It was quite amazing.  O was a bit little to join in all the pinata hitting, apple bobbing, donut eating fun but had a good run around none the less.
I was happy with how the Oscar the Grouch (get it..?) outfit turned out so it was a shame it was too stinking hot to wear all day.
Can't wait until next year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIKKURI SQUIRREL IN PRINT

Little old Bikkuri Squirrel was featured in the October issue of Conde Nast Traveller Magazine (UK).  Hoorah!

 

IT'S THE WEEKEND

Happy weekend to me!!  Thursday is the end of my working week.  Hoorah!  I think I will relax tomorrow and think about all the yummy treats I will try at the Hiroshima Food Festival on Saturday and Sunday. 

 

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

AUTUMN IN THE PARK

Last weekend was another long one so on Monday we made the most of the gorgeous autumn day and met friends in the park down the road.  We had a lovely time with all the kids and super cute babies.  Auntie Erin taught us how to peel a mandarin into an elephant shape.  

 

 

WHANGAPOUA

I am sooooo missing this place right now.  My husbands families beach house in the Coromandel, New Zealand. It is strange not having summers there, driving along the Thames Coast Road and staring out the window at the Pohutukawa Trees. I heart NZ.

 

HORSEY AND CHICKEN

I love finding little surprises around the house.. usually.  This was the kitchen sink one morning.

ROOF TOP BBQ

Last weekend was a long one.  5 days in fact.  Monday was Respect for the Aged Day, Tuesday was a Bank Holiday and Wednesday was Autumn Equinox.  GREAT!  On Monday we were treated to an Argentinian rooftop BBQ with a bunch of lovely friends.
