It's been nice knowing you... I'm sure all of you mommy bloggers know as of today, Google Friend Connect is no longer available for non-blogger blogs.  I know in my head that the number of your followers doesn't define the quality of your blog but I have to admit I would get giddy every time that number went up. So today I joined Linky Followers as a way to follow other blogs and for people to follow me.  I am going to shamelessly plug that … [Read more...]

Home-Style Stew

stew 2

I have been on the look out for fast, easy recipes to make for dinner during the week.  We got a slow cooker as one of our wedding presents and have never really utilized it for more than making kalua pig.  My friend Jenn quickly let me know that her slow cooker has been her saving grace in terms of saving time and that I should really use it more.  She was right because this was so easy and turned out great. Ingredients: 1 … [Read more...]

Worst Mommy Ever!

Sick

Ugh, I feel like the worst Mommy ever.  Yesterday after we went to the park we went to Neiman Marcus to get her baby Toms shoes.  While we were there she was pretty fussy and seemed overly tired but I thought it was because of the teething and the long afternoon at the park.  On the way home, it seemed to get worse so we called the 24-hour nurse line to see if they thought there was a problem and if we should take her to the emergency room. … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday Uncle Kai!

kai and kealohi

I can't  believe that my little brother is 22 already and is about to graduate from college.  I still think of him as my little brother who would always get dragged to my softball games and would have to make friends with my friends' younger siblings since they were "stuck" too.  In the next coming months, as he graduates from the Naval Academy, it will become increasing real that he is going to be in the military.  A little of me saw the … [Read more...]

Afternoon in the Park

Park

After we had brunch with Dominique and Sebastien, we headed up to Santa Monica to run some errands and to go to this park that we had seen the day before that seemed to have a lot of mommies and babies.  We are still on the search for a mommy and baby friend and thought that the park would be a great place to meet some future friends.  We had an absolute blast hanging out on the swings, slides and seesaw.  We have quickly realized that swings … [Read more...]
