Reading Corners

If you have in mind to raise a bi-lingual or tri-lingual kid, like us, you better prepare a good amount of resorces! 

          1. in Mommo Design  2.  in Baby-Deco 3. Mini-Style Blog

Ideas:

1. You should prepare a room full of light with shelfs that expose the books and the games, a confortable sofa or chair and several blankets and pillows or poufs where kids can seat confortably.

2. Expose posters with drawings and ABC related items. Expose your child`s art in a beautiful board on the wall.

3. You should keep it attractive, clean and pretty. Also kids love new items so keep it refreshed. Things don´t have to be brand new all the time, there are plenty of shops where you can buy used books in good shape.

4. Stablish an hour to read to your kids, for example before going to sleep. 

Places where you can find good books in Tokyo:

Kinokunyia has a good selection of children books in english.

Book Off usualy you can find an english and foreigner books corner, you should look for it in your town. Also you can sell them the old books and bring new ones adapted to your childs level.

                 4. 6th Street Design School       7. Jurnal de Design Interior          8. Jurnal de Design Interior

Blue Jeans, I miss you

I must confess I had blogposts prepared but today I rather write about something delicious, something that gives me some eyecandy. Sorry! I know this is not meant to be a fashion blog at all but... Since I´m pregnant do you know what I most miss?? MY BLUE JEANS!!! I can`t fit in them for a very, very long time and perhaps it will take a few months till I can put them on again after my daughter is born next December.


Yeahh. there were days like these - I could fit a 38! I could seat confortable in seiza position... and wear my blue jeans on and on! Must keep on remmembering my old ME!


Blue  Jeans  I  miss  you !!!
❤️❤️






Been looking all around Tokyo for nice pre-maman  clothing, I prefer real shopping since   I´m not quite sure about the size, but I found just some shops With Maternity Wear that I want to share with you:

H&M that has a small corner in Futako Tamagawa. Perhaps there are more. Also they have many large dresses.

United Colours of Benetton in Omote Sando, the italian brand always has a sense for baby and kids wear so as pre-maman Wear

Uniqlo I could use some items till now, 6 months, like dresses, pants, etc

Akachan Hompo, the brand sells many items for babies and you can find a good corner of maternity wear.

Muji, japanese brand that has a maternity clothing line
