Where do I even start?
I am sure every new mum secretly can't wait for the excuse for a daily walk to get a coffee.
I could be wrong. Let's be real. It's on my radar.
Enter MAJOR dilemma: Higashikurume, my neighbourhood, has no such community service.
I am exaggerating, of course it has coffee. The lovely Tully's, almost like a sister to Starbucks, is a 20 minute walk from my home. However, and confession time it appears, it involves taking a lift to get to, and my pathetic heart falters at the thought of being stuck in an enclosed lift that has jammed due to an earthquake in 36 degree heat and 95% humidity. Hopefully I will be able to ditch the pram and carry the baby soon so that stairs become an option.
P.S. A pram/stroller is cutely called a 'baby car' in Japan. Just in case you were looking for an adorable fact.
Anyway, all that is to say, my local Pan Ya San (bakery, or literally 'bread shop'), My Heartful Bread, is down river, with the ultimate in service, half-pear danishes, creamy lemon buns, and early opening hours - quite possibly the deal-sealing factor (and something that is surprisingly hard to come by in Japan).
Do I need to be eating delicious baked goods every day? Look, probably not. But right now, I am happy to say that the daily stroll with new bub in pram and a treat for me, well, it's looking good people.
What about you? Do you have any daily routines you look forward to, or traditions to spoil yourself?
