nice to meet you. My name is Asako and I am the oldest staff member. I am also the mother of the president, and have been in charge of shipping and product management since the company was founded in 2003.

I'll be 78 years old this spring, but I enjoy this job every day, and since it's a small company, a lot of things happen. I guess that kind of stimulation is good for me, and thanks to you I've been able to stay healthy and not get sick at all.

Milobina is a company that mainly sells online, but in this day and age, everything is changing rapidly. Although this is new, it is also difficult to deal with.

I always think that being the president who is also my daughter is very difficult, and sometimes I worry about my health.

That said, it seems like you like this job, so please take care of your health and do your best.

Now, let's all the staff write this Milobina blog! So, I will try my best to write about it. Please read it if you like.

This is my first blog about "this year's New Year".

This year's New Year came and went in the blink of an eye. Also, in old-fashioned terms, I'm a year older.

My grandchildren, who I don't get to see often, also came, and although it felt like we were crammed into this small house, it was a lively and fun time.

It is an annual tradition for us to eat seasonal festivals, have two meals together in the morning and evening, and then go to worship at Komagawa Shrine, where we always go, and eat various food from the food stalls there.

This year as well, I gave my grandchildren some pocket money in addition to their New Year's gifts, and they all came home full of food, including jaggery butter, takoyaki, zunda mochi shiruko, skewers, mini castella, and chocolate bananas.

Also, there is a hot spring nearby that used to be called Ranch no Yu and has very good quality water, and my daughter and grandchildren happily went there as an annual event.

Everyone usually works hard, so it must have been a relief to be able to soak in these hot springs.

Finally, we had a fun meal at a nearby restaurant called Bomb Hamburger. Everyone was chatting, so it was fun again.

At the end, everyone waved to each other and went back to their respective homes.

We worked hard to prepare for this since the end of the day, so I'm glad that everyone was so happy.

And since I basically like being alone, I felt a little relieved (lol)

My eldest daughter runs ``Beautiful Natural'', which operates Milobina, and my younger sister Yuko has been in charge of taking orders and handling customers for many years.

I know that the two daughters are working hard as housewives while balancing childcare and work, so I wrote a little comment and gave them a New Year's gift.

My daughters seemed surprised by their reaction, but I think I was able to convey my feelings as a parent.

No matter how old you are, you may be happy to have your parents recognize your hard work and receive a reward.

I also made warm hot water bottles for the two of them and put them on the futon. It made me feel warm.

When I'm so busy and nervous, I get so excited that I can't sleep, but by taking the supplement Sleep, I was able to get a good night's sleep for my tired body.

I think it depends on the person, but I like this sleep method, and it makes me feel relaxed and comfortable.

It was such a New Year's Day, but I will do my best at Milobina this year so that we can have a fun New Year's Day next year as well.
