Fruits MOCHI from Benzaiten

Fruits mochi for Mother's Day gift from my husband. Strawberry, melon, mango, and golden kiwi! Exquisit!

My daughter who made me a mother first, my son who keeps challenging me on a regular basis, twin boys who give me a bit complicated yet unique experiences as a mother, and my husband who must be missing his mom a lot. I thank them all for making me who I am today. I wish they can be more cooperative so that I can be a better person...

One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
