2016年9月のこと。読書の月

Welcome to Yoko's Monthly Favorites! We're hearing from Mitera founder Yoko Shimada and learning what her favorites for September are. As a #MiteraMama and #WonderWoman, Yoko spends a lot of time in the motherhood world, so we know that all of her favorites are mama approved.

This month I'm doing something a little different and sharing with you all my top reading picks for mamas, for baby, for the home, and for work. I'm all about continuously learning and growing, and hope these reads inspire you all as much as they have me and my family. And let me know what you're reading!
