Friday we joined up with 3 lovely high school classmates that I haven’t seen since high school. We met at the Makapu’u Lighthouse trail and walked a beautiful paved uphill route. I am not sure exactly how long it was, but it was a good workout and I am quite thrilled the boys were able [...]

But aren’t we all? Troy has ended his leave and is now back at work. The boys and I are doing our homeschool activities while doing family things as well. Since Troy has been home, he’s fixed the lawn mower, mowed the lawn, hung some art holders, put together a shelf (that has been sitting [...]

Last night we headed down to the Honolulu City Hall area to take in the Christmas lights. The first stop was at the Iolani Palace next door. (I can’t believe I forgot my tripod!) It is so beautiful every day, but especially so at Christmas time when the Palace and grounds are strung up with [...]

Sunday was a very busy day, we took a little trip down to China town to buy lei for Troy’s homecoming and a little snack too. Our favorite Lei Store was called sweethearts back in the day and then re-emerged as Po’ohala a few years ago, same family, new name. I always go there to [...]

I really did intend to blog sometime this week, but wow, I really had a bunch of things going on, and thankfully none had to do with doctor visits. Well kind of… I did go in for TB clearance so I can chaperone field trips with Jordan’s class. You’ll be glad to know, I do [...]

This picture was taken earlier this week. This bowl is from a sally foster fundraiser last year or the year before, place mat from target. I was just struck with how well they went together. Probably why I was so drawn to the place mats in the first place, and I’ve only realized this now. [...]

The past few weeks we have taken to goofing off on Friday afternoons/evenings. This has, unfortunately, lead to spending most of the day on Saturday dealing with Jalen’s homework. This week, I decided that we would come home right after school and work on homework like every other weekday. Jalen finished his assignments, and that [...]
