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...]
Throughout my pregnancy and Ke'alohi's first year of life, I have remained very close to one of my sorority sisters, Hayley. She was due two weeks before me and we texted each other constantly about all of our aches, pains and our highs and lows of pregnancy. She gave birth to Hartlee on May 19, 2011, eight days before Lucas and I had Ke'alohi. Though Hayley and Hartlee were bouncing back and forth between California and South Carolina, she … [Read more...]
Motherhood is... a roller coaster I think every mother can attest to the fact that motherhood takes you on a emotional roller coaster. You experience the most unbelievable highs (like when they take their first steps) and some of the lowest lows (when your baby is colicky and has been crying for hours) when you embark on this adventure; all you can do is hold tight and stick along for the ride. If you want to see more blogs also … [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...]
I read this story today from my friend's blog and I'm not going to lie, crying was involved. I have been a bit of a sap when it comes to dogs since I got Duke in 2007. There isn't a ASPCA commercial that comes on that doesn't make me sad and Lucas frantic to find the remote to change the channel. I had to share this story with you because it was so moving. “They told me the big black Lab’s name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in … [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...]
It's my first Mother's Day! I can't believe that this time last year I was a mere two weeks from delivering Ke'alohi. How time flies and things have changed in just twelve short months. Lucas and Ke'alohi surprised me with breakfast at Duke's in Malibu. Our table had a gorgeous view of the ocean and we were lucky enough to see a couple of dolphins and even a whale swimming by! The food was AMAZING, my favorite being the kalua pig with … [Read more...]
