I am never more joyful than when I am with them, just having fun. Sometimes their interest vary, because they are at different stages of childhood. I like to make time for each of my daughters, to hang with them for a little while and experience the things they enjoy. The other night my teenage daughter and I created a themed supper together.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\u00a0My daughter Mistaya is obsessed with Japanese pop culture. I&#8217;ve always had an interest in Japanese culture too. With me, my interest in Japanese culture stared at age six when we had a Japanese university exchange student named Misa live with our family. For Mistaya, it started when I first introduced my wee little girls to Hayao Miyazaki. She was still in preschool. I believe the first movie I got for them was <b><i>Kiki&#8217;s Delivery Service<\/i><\/b>. It was fitting because later, when her youngest sister (Pippi) was learning to talk, she couldn&#8217;t pronounce Mistaya and tried to call her Misty but it came out as Kiki.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Mistaya is now studying Japanese language at school and continues her cultural studies at home through her Manga and Anime collections. I was treated to an evening immersed in Japan with Mist this week. We made homemade sushi, sipped green tea and watched 2 <i><b>Hell Girl<\/b><\/i> episodes. <i>Hell Girl<\/i> is really dark&#8211;a little dark for me. But our yam rolls were wickedly good.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;\"><i><b>*If you enjoy my blog, please send a vote my way.
