Today I wanted to share with you a bit about one of my favorite places in Japan. And also some parts of an experience I had there about… oh wow, eight years ago! Why? Just because it’s such a good memory! AND because if you get the chance to go to Tokyo, you have to stop by this gem!
If you ever visit Japan, you’ll often see prints and recreations of old Ukiyo-e, such as “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”, or “Kanagawa-oki Nami Ura” (神奈川沖浪裏), that were originally made via Mokuhanga. But it’s possible to get an even more enriching experience when it comes to Ukiyo-e instead of just buying a modern print reproduction of one. That’s what I want to tell you about today in recounting a super unique experience I had while in Japan – and one that you can have too!
Now, I don’t know about you, but I love to travel to Japan (duh)! And while I’m there, I’m always up for trying out new foods. However, that doesn’t mean I can afford fancy dine outs for every meal and sometimes, I just need a restaurant where I can sit back in a cushy seat and take a load off while I order something I know I’ll like. So here are my solutions: 14 (+2 bonus) restaurants worth stopping by in Japan if you’re in the mood to eat out, but maybe not looking to have your wallet emptied.
I love to read. Love it. And on my phone, WEBTOON comics are my go-to before bed. So, if you’re looking for something new to read and enjoy comics, here are 25 recommendations for stories to read on the app WEBTOON.
Wishing you all a belated but very Merry Christmas as we Light the World!
Alright, admit it, you thought it was going to be a one and done type thing from me when it came to RobStar Week. Didn’t you? 😉 But nope! I told you I live – you should trust me more! All joking aside, I come bearing another gift. Kind of. A new one-shot story for RobStar Week 2021, inspired by the prompt “Snowfall”!
I have a very exciting announcement today! I’ve added someone to my family recently! Introducing my sweet little girl – Sadie!
It’s crazy how time flies, doesn’t it? I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving and that Christmas is right around the corner. What are your family traditions? This evening, my extended family and I got together and brought all 7 of our dogs together. What a hoot! But also the best thing ever. I loved every minute of it.
“We should not demean or vilify ourselves, as if beating up on ourselves is somehow going to make us the person God wants us to become. No! With a willingness to repent and a desire for increased righteousness always in our hearts, I would hope we could pursue personal improvement in a way that doesn’t include getting ulcers or anorexia, feeling depressed or demolishing our self-esteem. That is not what the Lord wants for Primary children or anyone else who honestly sings, ‘I’m trying to be like Jesus.'” -Elder Holland
The end of the year is coming, are you ready yet? Haha, I don’t know, I always feel that Halloween is the beginning of all the crazy that the end of the year brings. But at the same time, I find it to be an exciting start to all the crazy!
