We officially see Ke'alohi's third tooth! Tonight as Ke'alohi was playing with her toys and laughing up a storm, I saw the little white line I know all to well; the next tooth is breaking the surface! She was quite grumpy a few days ago so Lucas and I knew that it was going to happen any day. Our little girl's toothless grin is slowly transforming and filling with teeth! I can't take all this growing up she is doing! When will she start to … [Read more...]
You know, I thought I had a "few" years before I had to write this post but my daughter continues to surprise me. When I picked Ke'alohi up from the daycare today, they let me know that Ke'alohi's favorite little boy, Orie, planted a big one on her cheek that day. Orie and Ke'alohi have always played nice, but recently he has been such a doting little boy, bringing her toys, making sure no one makes her cry and playing with her hair. I even … [Read more...]
Have you heard of Pinterest? If not, you are totally missing out. If you know what I'm talking about, then you probably know it is one of the best places to find new recipes to try. This recipe was one of the first things I "pinned" and I have been waiting to try it. It was so yummy and a perfect Sunday morning breakfast. Ingredients: 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature 2 Teaspoons Lemon Zest, 1 Large Lemon's Zest 7/8 Cup … [Read more...]
The last couple times we have fed Ke'alohi have been a cleaning disaster. She has needed a bath after each and every time because she loves grabbing her spoon which then drops her baby food and yogurt everywhere! Today, we found a way that could keep her a little "cleaner." Our dog, Harley, has "volunteered" her time and tongue to lick all the extra food on Ke'alohi that she can reach. Hahaha. Ke'alohi is so infatuated with Harley that … [Read more...]
This is my first of many favorite recipes that I wanted to share, but I before I say anything, I want to start with a serious warning. If you are on a diet or if you do not have any self control when it comes to sweets, do not read this post and do not bake this cake. You will be sorry! Now that that is over, I got this recipe from one of my closest friends, Bridget, who makes this cake at all family, friend and work potluck … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... about the fur-babies too I don't post nearly enough about our "first babies," Duke and Harley. Duke's claim to fame is that he was the original "man of the house" and was here with me before Lucas. Well, it was just Duke and I for 10 days before I met Lucas, but in dog years that is 70 days! Hahaha. We adopted Harley together one year later and we have been a family ever since. This past week, Harley was hanging out … [Read more...]
I am so unbelievably proud of our good friends Nani (Lessa) and Christian because the book they wrote is officially on sale at Amazon! In my head, I think I have always put authors and actors up on this pedestal for being artistic and "cool;" well it makes sense because the are both. Their book is titled "Hawaiian in Los Angeles" and is getting released May 14, 2012, but you can pre-order you copy now! Below is a little synopsis of their … [Read more...]
