This is a first from me because I am putting one of my own recipes on here! I love watching the Food Network channel and I remember one time watching Anne Burrell making her own meatballs and I was in awe. I knew that I wanted to make my own but I didn't want to have to use a ton of ingredients to do so. My motto now that I am a mom is to "KEEP IT SIMPLE," and these are so easy to make that I can do them in about 20 minutes from start to … [Read more...]
TEN MONTHS... We are officially in double digits and I don't like it one bit. I have actually thought about maybe just skipping this month-aversary altogether and then regrouping next month. Hahaha. Seriously though. Ten Facts about Ke'alohi at Ten Months: 1. Weighs 22 pounds and 13 ounces and measures 29.5 inches. 2. Uses her walker like its a bumper car and loves ramming into walls (and our feet). 3. Sees everything and anything as … [Read more...]
When we were registering for baby things, safety was our top concern, especially when it came to the infant car seat. In the end after spending weeks looking at reviews and safety ratings (I promise I'm not exaggerating, I was that crazy on my researching), we narrowed it down to the Maxi Cosi Mico, the Chicco Keyfit 30 and the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 infant car seats. What I loved about the Peg Perego car seat when we were in … [Read more...]
After we went to Gymboree today, we headed to the Citadel outlets to go shopping. Puna totally spoiled Ke'alohi and got her a ton of cute clothes and socks at Carters. The daycare had asked us to get Ke'alohi shoes because she is using her walker alot and is in the "pre-walking" stage. We want her to get used to wearing shoes because we don't want her to get too used to being barefoot all the time or only used to wearing socks. We were … [Read more...]
I love this dinner for many reasons. First, this pasta dinner is so simple to put together on the weekday and the cooking time is less than an hour and most of that time is just waiting for the butternut squash and onions to roast. I adapted this recipe from Giada De Laurentiis by adding pancetta which Lucas and I love and most of the times we leave out the walnuts. You really can do this recipe with so many different pastas and different … [Read more...]
With one of my friends having her baby this week, it's got me thinking about my own hospital experience and specifically what I packed in my hospital bag. To say that I was in denial at the end of my pregnancy and totally lagged on packing my hospital bag is an understatement. We had most of the essentials packed away in our little suitcase, but it was missing A LOT! After I was unexpectedly induced into labor after a routine doctor's … [Read more...]
The daycare told us this week that Ke'alohi is just starting to wave but it is not usually on command. She just aimlessly moves her arm around in a waving motion but her hand flops over at her wrist. It is quite funny and cute. This weekend we have been working with Ke'alohi to try to wave at people when they say hi but her first time doing it on command with us was this afternoon. Ke'alohi loves watching the washing machine spin when a … [Read more...]
