This is a story about an international couple raising and home educating three young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages are about pretty much anything and everything all guided by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes, Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our ongoing crazy adventure.

- This was only another day trip in order to take some stuff up to the mountain including a ton of kitchen stuff to be used in the compost pile. We spent a little time at Urada Beach in the afternoon.

- This was overnight trip number 18 and the first overnight trip in almost four months thanks to an unbelievably rainy season this year. We were supposed to bring home more humus but it poured the day we were coming home and we had to leave the soaked bags up in the mountain. We spent a little time at Urada Beach in the afternoon. Today was really windy and almost nobody at the beach but still fun.
