Out for Another Stroll in the Neighborhood

IMG_1308

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...]

My Mommy List | Pregnancy

belly

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...]

Project 52:19 | Growing Up

IMG_1269

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. If you want to see more blogs also participating in Project 52 check out Aubrey My Love, Blossoms and Vintage, Caynay Photography, Courtney Kirkland … [Read more...]

First Steps!

first steps

I've been both dreading and hoping for this day.  Today, while Ke'alohi was at her daycare, she took her first three steps.  All the women at the daycare were ecstatic and couldn't wait to tell us the big news when we came to pick her up.  I was happy but again bummed that we missed it like we had missed her first time crawling. Luckily, Ke'alohi wasn't too tired when we picked her up and she showed us how she did it and took four steps … [Read more...]

Parmesan Chicken

Parm Chicken 2

This is not your typical Parmesan chicken that you are used to ordering in a Italian restaurant but I'm telling you this is good!  Not only is this good but it's only FOUR ingredients and crazy simple to make.  This recipe was a staple weekday dish that we would have with my family when I was growing up and I have always loved it.  Lucas and I make it regularly and even he is a pro at making it.  If he can do it, you … [Read more...]

Switching It Up with My ERGObaby Carrier

Ergo Backpack

I can not say anymore great things about my ERGObaby carrier.  It is my favorite carrier out of all my carriers and I feel like it really is the most versatile.  Today, I decided to switch it up with my carrier and try it out on my back.  When your baby gets older and is a toddler, you can flip around the carrier and wear your child on your back.  It is a lifesaver for when they are older so that they don't have to hang in front of you.  I … [Read more...]

First Time Trying to Feed Herself (With Daddy’s Help)!

Cottage Cheese

Sometimes, we just aren't quick enough for Ke'alohi and she has to take matters into her own hands.  Ke'alohi doesn't have the best patience and that gets exponentially worse when you are trying to feed her.  Therefore, today she decided that Lucas needed a little help feeding her at an appropriate pace.  She grabbed his index finger and would push it towards the bowl to get more food and then pull it towards her mouth to get the spoon in … [Read more...]
