REVIEW: Puj Foldable Sink Tub

Puj Tub
So, it's time to wash the kid. Again.

If you got a newborn, this means a trip to the sink.

The bathtub is too big, and if you're like many people, you don't have the space for a dedicated baby tub.

So, what should you use?  I recommend the Puj Tub.

Natto Revenge: 3 American Foods That Will Gross Out Your Japanese Friends

No, It's OK, you can have it all
Mmmm.... Natto.  Just the thought of it makes you want to not eat your next meal.  The Japanese say it's an acquired taste, and to that, I'd agree.

Yes, it is one of the stranger things that can be consumed in a Japanese diet, but not as strange as some of the things that Americans will eat.

Behold, the food equivalent of Japanese Kryptonite!

"I wanna see the Moon, Daddy!"

Man, Cow, Bunnies? Cheese or Mochi?
So, I'm sure you're all familiar with the classic bedtime story "Goodnight Moon"(Available in English and Japanese). Well, our little girl became so enamored with the moon, that her nightly routine was to look out our bedroom window and say Goodnight to it before going to bed.  Then, later that night she might wake up in a panic, and wouldn't go to sleep until she saw the moon again!

So, it became Daddy's duty to take her to see the Moon.

Japanese Women and the Cleaning of Ears


So Kawaii!
Seriously, what is the deal with Japanese women and cleaning others people's ears?

I've never heard of an american girl cleaning their boyfriends ears. If you even suggested it to them, I bet you would get some strange looks.  Or be out a girlfriend.

My Japanese girlfriends have enjoyed having me lay down on their lap as they put a special ear cleaning stick in my ear.

We shall refer to it as The Probe.

REVIEW: Deuter Kid Comfort III Kid Carrier Backpack

So, wanna carry your kid around, but don't want to have them in those kangaroo pouch looking things? Want to have them on your back, but also want to bring baby gear?  Are you into real hiking, and know what a hydration pack is?  Then this is the pack for you.

If you know a little bit about this pack and you're on the fence about it, then I'd say save yourself some time and stop reading now, and click buy.  You won't regret it.  Unless you're near broke, and need food instead of a backpack, then you might have some regrets.
