Now that we have been using cloth diapers for almost a month now and I'm still loving it, I've decided to write about why I made the decision to switch to cloth diapers. I'm not going to lie to you all and say that we haven't had our hiccups and we are still finding our system, but I'm so glad that we finally made the switch. We are exclusively cloth diapering at home and intend on transitioning our daycare to them when they are done with … [Read more...]
I read this story today from my friend's blog and I'm not going to lie, crying was involved. I have been a bit of a sap when it comes to dogs since I got Duke in 2007. There isn't a ASPCA commercial that comes on that doesn't make me sad and Lucas frantic to find the remote to change the channel. I had to share this story with you because it was so moving. “They told me the big black Lab’s name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in … [Read more...]
While we were on the Santa Monica pier, we were looking for a game or ride that Ke'alohi could do but she was much too small for everything. On our way out we saw the carousel and went in to see if they had an age minimum. Luckily they don't and we were not only able to take her on there, but she could ride one of the horse if I stood next to her holding on to her. She loved every second of it but I think our little "daredevil" wished she … [Read more...]
It's my first Mother's Day! I can't believe that this time last year I was a mere two weeks from delivering Ke'alohi. How time flies and things have changed in just twelve short months. Lucas and Ke'alohi surprised me with breakfast at Duke's in Malibu. Our table had a gorgeous view of the ocean and we were lucky enough to see a couple of dolphins and even a whale swimming by! The food was AMAZING, my favorite being the kalua pig with … [Read more...]
Ke'alohi's newest obsession is her push walker. She loves it to death and screams bloody murder if we even think about touching it while she is playing with it. One thing she really likes to do is go outside and walk on the sidewalk with it. She pushes it up and down our street and will push it over the concrete, tile and even in the grass if something or someone is in her way. She just cracks me up with how much determination she has to … [Read more...]
In the spirit of Mother's Day weekend, I compiled a list of a couple items that were life-savers and got me through the pregnancy, besides Lucas of course. Some of these items are maternity clothes staples, favorite snacks and some are pregnancy products; all things that I loved while I was pregnant with Ke'alohi and got me through the 9 months. Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy - Yes, I read "What to Expect When You're Expecting," but at … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... growing up I still can't believe that she took her first steps yesterday! My little girl is growing up. I've learned so much since becoming a mother and realized that it doesn't matter how old or young you are, motherhood makes you grow up and look at life differently.
