- Hi! I’m tomomo.
Thank you for visiting my weekday video.
I live in a small town 2 hours drive from Tokyo.
I’m a happy mom of two (👦🏻16 + 👧🏻10) and two cats (😺😇Picku 18.5 + 🐈 Momiji 16).
------------------------
In this video…
I was planning to clean my kitchen, but instead...I decided to have some relaxing time in the morning.
I spend each day being productive and getting the things I need to do done.
...But I think I need to allow myself to slow down sometimes, you know?
So, I read a book my son gave me for my birthday called "Lonely Castle in the Mirror".
I had tomato, Japanese ginger and tofu salad, and peperoncino with a lot of parsley for lunch.
For dinner, I cooked Omu-rice.
I had a sour cocktail with popsicle and cup noodles 🍜at night with my husband.
I hope you’ll enjoy my life in rural 🇯🇵 Japan!

At 17:47 "I often found myself prioritizing what I had to do over what I actually wanted to do." I FELT this! As I laid down in my bed to relax after my 9-5, I felt the pressure to do other chores, but came across your video and couldn't resist :) I decided to prioritize my well-being over cleaning my apartment and I am so glad I did! I miss my time in Japan, but your video helps me feel connected to the precious 3 months I spent living there. Subscribed!
Thank you for finding me and joining my ordinary life in Japan! Wow you’ve been here❤️. I guess you had a good time and a hard time at the same time. Living in the different culture is sometimes hard, but I hope you enjoyed a lot. Like you, I thought I had to do housework in my free time. But I decided to stop doing that and pamper myself🤪🫶.So now I take a nap every day. And it's the best🙌.
I look forward to talking to you again.
I was so happy to see the video from your train ride. I don't know how to explain it clearly. I love seeing places which are not perfectly kept up--where weeds grow and things are more natural. I love seeing grass growing in sidewalks and roadside ditches. Trains which travel past backyards show life from a different perspective. I think I would like living in your town. It's charming. Here, June is when all the plants suddenly grow quickly. Summer days are long so the plants make up for lost time. I really enjoy seeing your daughter. She is so bubbly and energetic. Wishing all the best to your son as well. And, of course, Momiji makes me smile. I hope you all enjoy your summer days.
Hi, Leah! I'm glad that you enjoyed watching the scenery of train ride. I thought you would like to see, so I filmed a little longer☺️. The grass and trees are stretching towards the sky and I'm sure it's the same where you live! My daughter is saying hello to you. She wants to be in my videos every time, and it's so funny that she always tries to dance😂. Please say hello to your lovely Pumpkin! Looking forward to talking with you again❤️
Dear, I raise my champagne glass this evening for you and your channel. I love slow life format but when it is not staged, when it’s done the way you film it, it is 100 times better❤️ I really appreciate your work and lifestyle
Cheers 🥂 , Martha 🫶
How lovely evening you had!
Thank you for supporting my documentary videos😂. I’m relieved to hear that you enjoy my real life! Talk to you soon!
your video is so relaxing!
Thank you so much♡
lovely home. always cute momiji🥰
Momiji is saying “Arigato, Thanks 😻 meow”.
I just found your channel and you make amazing real life content. I enjoyed myself watching this video and also my mother who was watching with me 😊💖 I love the rural ereas in Japan more than the big city's.
Thank you for finding me! Please say hello to your mom! I'm so happy that you watched my video together❤️
Recently My goat 6yrs 6 months died also my cat had died 3 months ago at the age of 8 year. I was so alone and depressed your blog about your life is very beautifull and nice to watch god bless you ❤
I'm so sorry. Wishing the best for you.
Hi! Thank you for your message...and I'm so sorry for your loss😢. They were both so young and your heart must have been very hurt. I'm always with you❤️
@@tomomo3108 thank you 🙏🏻🌈🧿
@@leahj139 🙏🏻🧿❤
Hola querida Tomomo!!!
SORRY TOMOMO....., 😱😥 I think I accidentally gave the video a dislike....my crazy fingers...I think I fixed it, I'm not sure, sorry....
Thanks for the video, always entertaining and instructive.
Regarding health habits, we don't do anything special, we try to sleep as well as possible, have a routine of sleeping and meal times, and eat as healthy and balanced as possible...stay at the correct weight and eat little salt... But we do what we can...😉
As always I have loved seeing your daughter's Teddy bears and toys, everything so well organized...very cute.
I loved the Tokyo folding bag and the canteen, very nice.
Your friend cooks very well, everything looked delicious and the dishes were beautiful.
If you have to choose between reading or cleaning the kitchen, I raise my hand for reading...☺
I don't buy books, I go to the public library in another larger town and find new editorials there and I borrow them. Lately I haven't found a book that makes me glue myself to the pages...Juan Carlos does buy technical books about his hobbies (mathematics, programming languages...)
No one can resist freshly made bread... how delicious it is and what an aroma it leaves at home... In Spain a few years ago bread making machines, like yours, were very popular, now not so much...Now the popular thing is to have an air fryer.
A question out of curiosity, what do your students knead? They are remains of the eraser or putty from making crafts...
These days have been calm, summer is approaching and the heat too... here the heat is dry, this weekend it is going to rain and that is why we have canceled the plan to go to the Madrid book fair, I told you about it last year (it's been a year already...how time flies) but we're going to leave it for next week.
We are planning some free days that we have, and this weekend we are going to search for hotels and routes to enjoy a little disconnection, we will be in Spain, we will go by car close but just enough to see different things.
This Sunday we have to vote for the European Parliament, Spain belongs to the European Union (we are 27 countries) and we have to decide who to vote for, Europe is on "dark" times we have a great loss of identity, there is a lot of illegal immigration and radicalism ( and I don't speak anymore for fear of censorship..) but the vote must be decided well, in Europe decisions are made that affect the member countries unequally, in matters of agriculture, industry, ecology... each country has autonomy until there is a European standard that must be complied with... and sometimes it harms us.
I hope, dear friend, that your Coach sandals are fine, as beautiful as they are...🥰
Thank you for your opinion about the bag...I share your reasoning about the purchases, we'll see how my story with the cute bag ends.
I love that you said that you are a shoe girl...they don't attract my attention so much, I prefer bags...I'll tell you about a phenomenon about the viral sneakers that are fashionable in Spain, they are the Adidas samba, they were a furor, now the ones that are in fashion are the Adidas gazelle, everyone wears them... what a nightmare...
There is also a peculiar type of footwear that is now in all the stores, they are a kind of transparent mesh ballet flats...maybe if you Google Images “bailarinas de rejilla” you can see them, What do you think? Horror or pretty?🤔
In summer I like Birkenstock sandals, but not the original ones (very expensive...) but similar ones...I've liked them since I was in high school and they weren't that popular...do you like them too? I like them to wear without socks, here we distinguish foreigners because they wear sandals with socks, that catches our attention...
Juan Carlos and I also say hello to mini Tomomo 🤗
I hope you spend some calm and beautiful days, with the frogs croaking and with your beautiful plants...
We say goodbye querida Tomomo and family!! We send you all a big hug and take good care of you.
And a very special hug for Momiji, so cute!!
With love from Madrid, J.C. And Silvia😘😘😘
Hola! Silvia and Juan Carlos!
Thank you for writing me again. As always, I enjoyed reading your message!
Every time, there are a few words that I don't know, and I learn them from your message❤️
About dislike button...
I often get a few dislike buttons, you know, unfortunately😅.
I can't satisfy all of them😂.
But in this video, I didn't get any of dislike! Yay! So I think you solved the problem.
Thank you for worrying!
Same to you, I don't buy books anymore.
Borrowing books is nice, right? I don't go to the library recently, but you made me want to go there.
Juan Carlos loves technical books? Wow. I sometimes borrow math books to learn but I can't enjoy them😂. Just for my students!
I forgot to write you about the bread crumb!
I just put butter and sugar😂. I can't say there is a special recipe right?
My students were playing with an eraser called "Kneaded Eraser (Nerikeshi)".
I used to play with them when I was a kid too!
It is a type of eraser, but we don't use it as an eraser.
Instead, we play with it like clay during classes🤣.
I think most elementary schools prohibit them to bringing them to school.
They were trying to hide the kneaded eraser because they thought I would show the video to their moms!
They are so cute！
I was surprised to see on the news that the Danish Prime Minister had been beaten in the street a fe days before the EU election.
There seems to be a tense that I just can't feel in Japan.
How did it go?
I googled Bailarina de rejilla!
Wow, they look like bare feet, don't they?
Maybe there are people sho wear them in Tokyo, so I will try to observe next time when I go there!
And of course I love Birkenstocks too!
They are comfy😍. It seems like the latest trend is to wear sandals with socks but I've never tried...should I try?🤣
Mini tomomo says "Arigato = thank you" to both of you!
And Momiji😻
Lovely to talking with you!
Looking forward to talking with you soon!
Big Love from Japan♡tomomo
@@tomomo3108 Dear Tomomo, I am very happy that I was able to fix the dislike button 😄...I was sad about it...I write on a laptop and sometimes I touch what I shouldn't.🙃
The Kneaded Eraser is quite interesting, I didn't know that, it looks very fun...you always teach me things.
The European elections have changed things, in France especially and in Germany, ...many people are tired of many things that are wrong...
And yes the “bailarinas de rejilla” make you see your bare foot...curious phenomenon of fashion things.
I say goodbye since I have to continue studying French... at least the sound of the rain that falls in my town today accompanies me during my super bored French course.🙄
A big hug dear friend!!😘😘😘
I found your channel here in videos, I loved it so good, even more so there's a kitten 🐱 hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 (≧▽≦)
Wow, you are in Brazil! Thank you for finding me and joining my ordinary life in Japan! My cat, Momiji says hi to you😻!
