YES, I know there are plenty of better foods we sh YES, I know there are plenty of better foods we should be trying when we’re visiting new places, but I have two nine-year-olds who disagree. 

We actually walked here from a Michelin starred Okonomiyaki restaurant. It was delicious… to Mom and Dad. The kids tried it, but two of them don’t like mayonnaise, two of them don’t like squid (not the same two), and none of them like potatoes. They ate politely, but we knew it was a struggle, and they weren’t full.

A stop at McDonald’s was like a Christmas surprise - they were so excited. They ate chicken nuggets and French fries and got cheap little dinosaur toys and relished the moment. 

It didn’t feel like caving in to picky eaters. It felt like a special evening where everyone got a treat.

I am not dead: just unavailable. As it turns out, I am not dead: just unavailable.

As it turns out, I CAN’T do it all. I’d already deleted Facebook from my phone and limited online hours to work hours, but that’s not enough for this phase.

My phone is off and I’m offline - just for a few weeks to tackle the bigger priorities. 

I look forward to catching up with you all soon. In the meantime, let this serve as your reminder that you don’t have to do it all. Limits are our most wasted gift.

You’ll want to save this one for your trip to Japa You’ll want to save this one for your trip to Japan!

Osaka castle is beautiful, and easy with a wheelchair. I love when accessible design is built into historic structures! We didn’t have to miss a thing (ok, except for the shrine, but that’s not really part of the castle).

📝 Make sure you note the distance to the castle from the road - be prepared for a bit of a haul.

🗒️ Bring your proof of disability for discounted admission.

⏰ Afternoon was the perfect time to go because we had time to explore the castle, and we still got to see it lit up at night!

Next time you’re having a bad day, remember my nin Next time you’re having a bad day, remember my nine year old and try to pull out some positives. He woke up after a five hour surgery to a warm blanket and a cold slushie - and life was good. 

Granted, he also loves the hospital for the video games, cafeteria food, and endless craft supplies (he may have actually been looking forward to this day), but don’t miss the point. Sorrow and joy exist simultaneously in any moment. Most of the time, you decide what kind of day it’s going to be.
