You are all probably wondering what I mean by "on set." It means Ke'alohi is going to be famous! Hahaha, not really, or at least not yet. One of Lucas' friends, Bennet Silverman, from Nice Piece Productions, was shooting a launch video for a new website/company and asked us if he could use Ke'alohi in the piece and we were beyond thrilled to help out. You should really check out the video and he directed and co-wrote with John Gasienica, … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
As you know by now, I research the hell out of baby things before I make a purchase; with bottles it was no different. We started Ke'alohi off the first couple weeks with Playtex Drop-Ins because it was what my mom used and she swore by them. We liked them a lot and didn't have any problems with them other than the fact that we were constantly buying liners and I knew that it would get "old," fast. I knew I wanted a "regular" bottle and … [Read more...]
