To celebrate Andre’s mom turning 75, we traveled to Philippines to hiked the treacherous mountains of Amorogtong, Iloilo to visit the Our Lady of Fatima shrine that she had built years ago for the farm village she grew up in. We all powered through the crazy terrain despite the scorching heat, determined to climb the [...]
The Dole Food Company is the world’s largest producer of fruit and vegetable. Mr James Dole opened the first pineapple plantation on the island of Oahu in 1901. Nowadays, the iconic Dole logo has become synonymous of pineapples worldwide. Once we arrived to the plantation, we headed straight for The Pineapple Express tour. We waited for [...]
Funny how Easter Sunday last year fell on Avery’s birthday and this year it falls on Andre’s birthday! We spent Easter Sunday at The Royal Hawaiian beginning with an easter egg hunt! This was Avery’s first time doing an egg hunt and overall he did pretty good. He wouldn’t let go of his toy phone [...]
Rolling through the ranch at perhaps ten miles an hour, our guide told us a little history about the ranch. The land used to be considered one of the most sacred places on the island of Oahu, and was owned by the Hawaiian King until the mid-1800s. The land was then sold to a man [...]
This weekend was a wild one! We celebrated Avery’s 2nd birthday with a bright and bold Party Animal zoo celebration! It was a roarin’ good time!! I wanted the overall “feel” of the party to be bright, bold, loud and fun! I imagined what it would be like if a bunch of animals at the [...]

The start of better weather, longer days & ballpark beers! Cheers to the Mariners first win 12-4!
This decor of this place is so unique looking...it's also very small and you sit at a long shared table. I like their spin on the chicken and waffle. Fish sauce chicken wings have always been good with rice at home. I never knew it could go so well with maple syrup and waffle. They [...]
The Mussel Fest swung into full action on Saturday under sunny skies and mild temperatures. The popular mussel chowder tasting cost $10 a ticket and is good for chowder samples at four different Coupeville businesses! This is my second time coming to the Penn Cove MusselFest and I always leave with a happy stomach!
Since Avery is a little bit older now and becoming more curious, we figure it was time to introduce him to some fishes! As soon as we entered the aquarium, there was a HUGE window on Washington Waters tank to greet us! It was pretty crowded in that area, so we bypass it this time! [...]
Every year, my creative and over the top party planner friend Stephanie decided to throw her 8 year old daughter Leila a Harry Potter themed birthday party! It was so magical that even the muggles were wondering how we conjured up such an EPIC party! There was even a special guest appearance of Dobby the [...]
