Konnichiwa, Hello from Japan!
My name is Mits and I am currently living in Tokyo, Japan. Originally from Canada, I have developed a love for the wonderful stationery goods that Japan has to offer. I hope you find the content on this channel useful to you and you enjoy the videos as much as I enjoy putting them together for you. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Please don't apoligise for spending more time with your children whilst they're young. I wish there had been more space for me to do so also. Cherishing the time is so important x

[@MyLifeMits]

THANK YOU.. thank you...

I saw something recently that really hit home pertaining to how much of our kid’s lives we will know them as adults and how it is so much longer than as children. We need to remember to take care to enjoy that quickly passing time of their lives!

[@michellealdrich]

It’s tricky, right? Toggling between watching our kids through our EYES - taking in the moment with all of our senses *and* deciding when to pick up the camera to document. Our kids are 13, 11 and 11. I am leaning in as much as possible to spending time with them, recording the memories as I’m able, etc. You inspire me! And you’ve certainly left us an ENORMOUS archive of material here on YT and your other socials - be kind to yourself when you’re moving through a season that doesn’t allow you much time (or energy!!) to share publicly. xoxo

[@MyLifeMits]

Oh boy... thank you for this message.... it truly means a lot.

[@kelliknackmuhs2546]

Thank you Mits!! Spend time with your babies while you can. Time moves too fast as it is. Enjoy!!

[@fanofbones]

Sweetheart, enjoy your kids! Have a blast! We’ll be here busy with summer and family too. Hugs

[@longdaysjournal]

Say it ain’t so! I don’t know what I’ll do without regular videos from you!

[@Rleetuber]

Beautiful journals! We have such busy lives it's difficult to juggle all the things.

[@uwimanamiddleton89]

Never ever tire of seeing you pages Friend!! Love the idea of journaling to your children, will you do separate journal for each child?

[@penelope6416]

I always love seeing your videos, they inspire me so much! I was wondering, could you describe a little bit about how you journal to your kids? I understand if it's too personal to share in a video, but I have just never considering journaling for another person to see so I am interested in what you write about.

[@sabinemetscher6449]

Yes Mits, enjoy the kids💕 I used to journal about the cute stuff my grandkids would say. They are growing up fast, learn in school & are super busy with sport. We chase with photos & videos 🙂 You are creative, just be yourself for the “get messy” lesson-you got this. The video was fun with all the original cute pieces 🐾🐾Take care📚

[@MyLifeMits]

Thank you so much!!❤️

Great channel. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I've also had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit Asia.

[@deekilroy1746]

So excited for you to teach for Get Messy! You will be a wonderful presenter😊. Thank you for sharing all your creative journals Mits!! Enjoy your family this summer 💕

[@MyLifeMits]

😭🙏🏻Thank you for your encouraging words! I am nervous but excited nervous so I hope it goes well :) I hope you enjoy your summer as well!

[@aliaquas3611]

Love your line up still Mits!!! I also changed a few things since January, but it's always nice to see new set ups cause things can change mid year!! I hope you're doing well :) ❤

[@thejournaldiaries]

Lovely video as always mits xx

[@margot7074]

Sooo good❤❤

[@Art_culture_livin]

Hello , it havs been 3 years since you done a fountain pen collection. Anything new ? , can you share an updated version please

[@scotosha]

Hi Mits! Yes I did ask about the layout of the insert on your IG. I liked the old one better, but I’m sure you’re going to make me love the new layout too once you’ll start using it in August. Thanks for mentioning! At least now I know why it looks so different😊.

[@MyLifeMits]

Ahhh thank you for letting me know :) I will most likely end up covering some of it, so in the end, it will all work out! Thank you for watching!

[@scotosha]

@@MyLifeMits I watch all of them. I just like your style, your calming voice, your “naturel” and your giggling. Not so into junk journaling though. Being an extreme perfectionist that is trying to get rid of it by watching you and realising a journal is far more fun when it is not all straight and neat and well positioned, junk journaling is too much of a good thing for me. That is too messy for my likings. But we’re all different aren’t we?😊 Keep making videos!

[@papertalesp]

😅 it seems that the more kids grow, there's less time to journal.
