About

I grew up in Tokyo, worked as an English teacher and interpreter for 10 years, married 5 years ago and moved to the middle of absolutely nowhere. I still do not feel like this is home but I have been blessed with 4 babies one right after another. Amid all the exhaustion and chaos and poo everywhere, I am loving every minute with them.

I’m fluent in English and Japanese, speak a little Chinese, and have studied Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Someday, someday, I would love to go back to school and study linguistics.

This blog has evolved. Its various names have included Eh43, Dead Frog Blog, Canticlysm, Double Dead Frog, and in case you’re wondering, here’s the dead frog story.
