Goodbye, Haru-san!

This is our dear, sweet mamasan, Haru. She has come to my house every week for the past 3 years and done all my dirty work. For ¥6000 she washed and folded laundry, washed dirty dishes, cleaned my bathrooms, dusted, swept, vacuumed, changed the beds (all 6 of them) and ironed our clothes. She was a workhorse stopping only for about 15 minutes while she ate lunch. 8am to 5pm was a long day for such a cheap price and we miss her already. Now when Noah sees me sweeping he's like, "I didn't know you knew how to clean, Mom." Awesome. She loved Kate too. So sweet with her. We miss you Haru-san!


On another note, we got Kate this sweet bike. Actually, it's a prebike. It has no pedals and the kids scoot along. It teaches them balance which is the real skill to learn when first riding a two wheeler. She loves to scoot around on it.
