Great list!! Should be getting lots of use this summer! ;(
Sadly yes! It hasn’t been the best weather this year. Boo. Hiss.
This list is amazing! I love your posts.
Can I translate it in Japanese and introduce it in my blog (about parenting)?
I believe this article is really helpful since it’s rainy season in Japan.
