Konnichiwa. My name is Becky. Yoroshikuonegaishimasu.
I wanted to start by telling you a little about myself. I am a gaijin ;) My husband and I live in Japan with our two children. My son L is two and my daughter G is six months. We started our journey in Japan in 2010 before L was born. We came to Japan because my husband had an internship at an international preschool in Hirakata-shi (just outside Osaka). I came and volunteered at the preschool for a month then went back to the US to give birth to L. After returning to the US I was put on bedrest and FINALLY gave birth 9 weeks later (my husband had luckily finished his internship at this time and returned to the US). L was born at 33 weeks and was in NICU for a month before coming home. After living in Japan for that month my husband and I were pretty sure we would be returning after my husband finished his degree.
In June of 2011 after I finished my teaching contract (I taught elementary school) and my husband graduated from BYU we moved back to Japan. My husband had gotten a job teaching English with NOVA. So that's how we got here.
Blog Purpose
I have wanted to help other gaijin in Japan by sharing things I have learned. When I gave the blog its title my husband kind of laughed but Frugal, Mama and Japan sum me up really well ;) I hope you enjoy my blog and that my experiences can help you, and hopefully make you smile :)
