A giveaway and a deal

After my sudden chattiness in September, I have retreated to my normal non-blogginess. Things have picked up around here and we are super busy. Luckily it's Sports Day tomorrow so Big Fish gets a day off. The Fishes are out at a playground right now and Cupcake is napping so I am supposed to be painting a new shelf, marking off the fabric for the carseat cover I am making, and packing for our night away. Going to nice hotel or onsen, you ask? Nope, we're going to stay over in a showhome. It's the builder we will use if we build a house here in Japan, a Canadian import housing company. They've been bugging us to stay in their showhome for a while and now we have a chance. Hope Little Fish doesn't break anything.

We'll have our Thanksgiving feast there. Our roast chicken is in the oven and my pumpkin pie cake is cooling and waiting for the icing.


In honour of Thanksgiving, I have an awesome deal for you. Meeabee, the lovely Japan-based business which focuses on awesome bags for kids, has free worldwide shipping this weekend only. Somebody needs to buy this awesome Egyptian Adventure bag. Lots of other bags to choose from too!

You might know that I am a big fan of the Australian blogger from Childhood 101. That's where I got the idea for Little Fish's box kitchen. She is having a giveaway on her blog of a $50AUD gift certificate for fabric from The Oz Material Girls. That's open to international dwellers as well!
