One of the most daunting things when deciding whether or not you are going to cloth diaper is washing the diapers. When I first brought up the idea of cloth diapering Lucas's first comment was "I don't want to touch poop." He made it veryclear that I would be the one that washes the diapers. After I did some research and talked to other cloth diapering moms I realized that it was actually quite easy to wash the diapers. The system we use … [Read more...]
I must start this by saying that switching Ke'alohi from a bottle has been a struggle. We have tried so many different sippy cups that I almost gave up hope that Ke'alohi would ever give up her bottle. Our quest to find a sippy cup that Ke'alohi would take to started with Born-Free, Avent, Munchkin, Nuby, Nuk and Playtex. All of these cups were very unsuccessful for us. Then we decided to skip the sippy cup altogether and go straight … [Read more...]
When we were looking into convertible car seats, I knew that I wanted a Britax, no questions asked. They are always on the top of safety reviews, customer reviews and on the consumer report ratings.

We are so happy and lucky that we have been able to remain such great friends through college, wedding planning, marrage, pregnancy and our babies' first year. Ke'alohi has been anxiously waiting to meet Jacob every since she saw her Auntie Jenn's tummy and got to hang out in Jacob's nursery last summer. We were able to spend … [Read more...]
From when I was pregnant, I was on the hunt to not only do what was best for Ke'alohi, but to do what was the most efficient and economical for our family. When it came to baby food, we knew that we wanted to give Ke'alohi organic and healthy food and thought that making our own baby food might be "doable."

A fellow May mom posted a picture of this dessert she was having that night and I fell in love. I thought about it all day and how I wanted to make it NOW. It consumed my mind to the point were I think I was actually drooling in anticipation. She kept saying how easy it was to make and that I should try it. I added macadamia nuts to it so there was more texture and it was heavenly! Ingredients: 2 Box Instant Banana Pudding 4 … [Read more...]
