I love that next week I get to say, "we fly home next week!" Well, our other home. We really live and breath the mentality that home is where we are because Japan has been just as much our home as Washington has since we've gotten married. We're starting to talk to Gabriel about our flight and how we're moving back to our other home. I think it's important to keep it in his mind that we have multiple places we live and that the physical places isn't what's important, home is where we are living no matter where that might be.

9 Ways to Avoid Mommy Burnout
Feeling burned out, struggling with anxiety or flirting with depression are all very real and common issues of being a mom (or parent). I spoke candidly last winter about my surprising battle with postpartum depression. I wound up sinking even deeper the months to follow, the first couple months in Japan being some of the darkest moments of my life. Fortunately I eventually started to recover and can say I've been in a healthy place mentally and emotional for a few months now. Though I still have days that throw me, they don't consume or control me anymore. I cannot pinpoint an exact day or event that caused me to start recovering, it doesn't really work that way. What I can say is that I tried to be very intention with my day in finding ways to promote lifted spirits! The following are practices that have helped me and continue to help me on this journey of motherhood.

We're beginning to pack up the apartment more seriously this week, cannot believe it's that time! So much to look forward to in the next month which doesn't include the actual flight... Really digging the 'home' pillow right now, though I feel like we'd need 2; one for Washington and one for Japan! Hope you enjoy this week's picks!

Online Shopping: Fabric
The following is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own, you are welcome to visit my disclosure page.
A question I get quite frequently is, "do you ever buy fabric online?" Yes, yes I do! Since I have access to such wonderful fabrics in Japan six months out of the year it doesn't happen often but when there is a specific fabric I'm looking for and can't find it in my current country, I'll order it. I typically keep to Etsy and fabric.com only because thoseare were the only two places I knew of but recently I stumbled upon some attractive and unique fabric designs in an unexpected place, Minted! You know that feeling you get when you discover something truly amazing and want to tell everyone? That's me right now! Have you heard of Minted? The last I knew Minted was an online place where I could go for Christmas cards, friends it's so much more than that! First, lets ogle at some prints shall we?
