Kyoto – Exploring the city

Kyoto has been the most amazing experience so far. On our second day here my husband found a place where we could rent bikes and explore Kyoto. Best thing ever!!

Tokyo experience – Part 1

We are 6 days into our trip to Japan and it has been so fun and unpredictable. Traveling with a toddler is an adventure in itself for sure!

My brain just can’t seem to grasp around that idea, probably because it… Continue reading The Countdown to Japan Begins

Not sure why I feel the need to explain this because it’s totally unrelated to my post, but anyway, it provides some… Continue reading It’s Really Just A Number
