Motherhood is... adapting I don't know if you have noticed but the last two weeks the quality of my photos haven't been the greatest. That is because we haven't had a camera and have been adapting and taking all our pictures on our phones. The shutter on my canon has been acting up and we finally sent it in to get repaired and now we have it back. I couldn't be happier to have my "real" camera back in action! If you want to see more … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... standing your ground It is so important when you are a mom and you feel strongly about something you stand your ground, because only you know what is best for you child. Right now, the dogs and Ke'alohi are in a stand off because Ke'alohi is obsessed with their beds and the dogs are tired of being pushed around. So today, they had a stand off and neither dog refused to leave their bed. Poor Harley practically got sat on … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... perfect Sometimes, things are perfect and the stars align. Whenever we are home in Hawaii, things just feel right for me. I miss being home more and more as I get older and have spent more time away from there. In August, I would have been on the mainland for NINE years! This week, we were finally able to take Ke'alohi to the beach and have her hang out in the sand and water and for me it was the perfect afternoon. I … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... a balancing act A synonym for "mother" has to be "juggler" because that is what we do; we balance and juggle anything and everything that goes on in our family's life. Ke'alohi has been loving her stacking cups and especially likes it when I try to balance them on her head like this. Isn't she so cute trying to stay as still as possible?

Motherhood is... happiness Sometimes, even though we have a baby, it's okay to act like a kid. We took out the top layer of our wedding cake this week to eat on our anniversary and ended up smashing cake in each others face since we didn't do it on our wedding night. Lucas knew better than to try any funny business when I was in my wedding dress so we shared our cake "properly." This time we went nuts and had a big cake fight and it was … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... trial and error You can have all the "best" baby products in the world, but you never know if your baby will actually like them. So much of getting through the first year of Ke'alohi's life was trial and error; between bed time, bathing, toys, feeding and keeping her occupied we have tried most everything in pursuit of what worked best for our family. A perfect example for us is sippy cups. As you can see, we have gone … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... sharing When you become a mom, you learn to share everything you are and everything you have. You learned what it is to share when you are a little kid, but it's not until you are a parent do you know what it's like to really share your whole self. This is Ke'alohi and Jacob sharing his Sophie the Giraffe. Ahh, young love. If you want to see more blogs also participating in Project 52 check out Aubrey My Love, Blossoms … [Read more...]
