My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

We’ve gathered activities that let you enjoy the season with your hands, such as origami, coloring, and brush-pen illustrations.

Pressed pansies, gerberas, and white clover might be nice choices.

Let’s start by attaching the pressed flowers to the calendar backing.

Place the pressed flowers wherever you like on the backing.
