Hello? Hello??
Anyone there?
It’s been awhile.
5.5 years.
In which time I’ve add three more kids to our brood.
We moved from Japan, to Texas, to Virginia, & then back to Japan.
We’ve lived in Tokyo for the past two years.
I now have 3 teenagers, a baby, a toddler, & several kids in between. It’s a zoo at our house!
I have missed blogging. But my I’m glad I took a needed season off.
The world has changed so much (do people read blogs anymore???).
I am still plantbased, almost 40, & still married to my dreamboat of husband.
Many blessings, but we have also had many struggles. Moving 3 times in 3 years, anyone??
(Oh yeah, there was also a 9 month deployment to Afghanistan.)
With much trepidation I decided to enter the online world again.
To be honest, motherhood has been a lot, & I love having an outlet to express creativity.
Oh!
And I just started an online coaching business.
You can read all about here. I would so appreciate it if you checked it out & let me know what you think!
I am excited, but also very nervous. The world moves at such a fast pace now, I’m not sure I can even remotely keep up with with all the cool kids are doing now (Tik Tok, Snap Chat–nope).
I recently got on Instagram (I know, like a decade too late) & will likely be a lot more active there. It’s essentially microblogging, which works for my lifestyle.
I hope to be back in the space a bit more, but it’s going to be very different.
I am no longer chasing recipe creation. My food is pretty simple, predictable, & do-able. I just want to feed my babies & myself without spending hours in the kitchen. I love the idea of spending lots of time in the kitchen cooking, but mama just don’t got time for that!
So. I will be here to share bits of my life, & perhaps insights into my continued journey of trying to find some semblance of balance in all the chaos.
If you read this far & your are an OG from the good old days, please leave me a comment (& follow me on Instagram if you are there❤️)–it would seriously mean the world to me to hear from some of my old readers.
Much love,
Janae
