Merry Christmas from the Oka’s! So thankful for all the friends and family we have made this year and the ones that have continued to blossom! You are the greatest present to us! Love you all! And most of all thankful for the best present of all, Jesus our savior! #reasonfortheseason #merrychristmas #japanfamily
My Sassy, brave, fearless, sweet girl is turning 4! I can’t believe how much she has grown up, her beautiful character shines through everyday as she cares and loves on people. She is determined and funny and smart, and I love spending every minute with her! She loves dinosaurs and superheroes and being the fastest! Her future is so bright and her smile tells you it all! Can’t wait to celebrate this weekend with her! #karabelle #4yrsold #birthdaygirl
We went to USJ with some of our besties! @maikominakuchi First time in 9 years, it’s so much better I need to go back for more Harry Potter world when Kara is not scared of it lol #usj #minions #elmo #freebefore4
I like to be efficient and productive and “busy” it’s my nature, but I have realized of late cuddles and hugs and more cuddles is the most productive way to spend my time! #treasuredmoments #cuddles #timeflies #preciouslittleones
We all had great fun at Ted’s 2nd birthday party! So proud of my charming, entertaining, always cheerful comedian! #monstersincparty #monstersincbirthdayparty #2yrold #terrifictwos
Recently I started to drink detox water - as a step towards healthy living and being free of toxins! But it got me thinking about how important it is to detox not just our bodies. It our lives. So much junk accumulated over the years, negative thoughts, judgements, past failures, bitterness, broken relationships, labels we have placed on ourselves and been placed on by others, past expectations, the list goes on! Sometimes these build up so much we forget to have a clean out and nasty stuff starts coming out. When I saw that in myself I realized it’s time to be proactive in my growth, in taking a maintenance check of my heart, giving to God all the crappy stuff and filling that space with his goodness. Sometimes it’s hard to do a daily detox but if we don’t the space becomes messy and if we do we have space for more of His goodness! #detoxlife #detoxing #motivationmonday
The labels we put on ourselves, the labels we put on our kids or don’t put On our kids affect who they become! I want to acknowledge how they feel rather than tell them how they feel. I want to acknowledge who they are, rather than tell them who they are! I want to give them chance to speak and tell me what they love and hate, before I speak over them, or shout because they made a mess! I want to give them chance to explore! I want to encourage them to be who God made them to be rather than who I want them to be. And I want to be the mum God made me to be, rather than the one I imagine I am on my worst days!
My boy! Growing up to fast! #blondieboy
