Welcome to Being Happy Mama!

I’m Nami, a proud Japanese-Filipina mama, devoted wife, avid crafter, and a book enthusiast. Before embracing full-time mama life, I thrived on diverse experiences—from tending to a farm in Hokkaido to navigating central Tokyo’s financial landscape and diving into cryptocurrency.

Passionate about nurturing happy, healthy, and intellectually stimulated little ones, I celebrate the joys and complexities of raising bilingual children. Here, I incorporating elements of Montessori philosophy into our daily routines, fostering a love for learning through the magic of picture books.

This blog is tailored for caregivers of 0-2 year olds who share our enthusiasm for intellectual and bilingual education. Whether you’re seeking guidance on casual Montessori principles, discovering engaging picture books, or exploring positive parenting techniques to nurture your child’s curiosity and self-esteem, you’ll find a wealth of resources and recommendations to support you on your journey.

Let’s create a nurturing environment where love, laughter, and learning abound.

Welcome to Being Happy Mama—where happy mamas and thriving little ones flourish together.
