Easter Castles

  I made Kyle start Little Fires Everywhere so I would have someone to discuss it with and he dove right in. Oh, and Happy Easter! We didn’t do baskets or egg hunts or anything because I just thought it would be easier to skip all that.  They are still young enough that we can do that so I am taking advantage.  Plus they aren’t around any of their friends so nobody can tell them what they missed out on.  We talked about what the day meant and celebrated with these fun little glasses my… Read more >

Honua Kai

The second place we stayed at was Honua Kai, which is just north of the new Westin complex (Nanea) in Ka’anapali and has Duke’s Restaurant at the poolside.  It’s pretty fancy shmancy.  We rented it on vrbo and it was perfect. Breakfast for the kids above, breakfast for the adults below. We drove over to Choice in Lahaina since our new spot isn’t walkable to Whaler’s Village.  I have no reason for it but I prefer the bigger store in Lahaina to the take away in the mall.   I want a Choice to open in Davis. … Read more >

That pool life

Weather forecasts are such a joke.  Foolishly, we keep looking and planning based on what we see and as it turns out, 99% of the time it’s sunny. So we have been living at the pool. I started the day with a green juice from Choice (I got it the night before when we were at Whaler’s Village for dinner).  The “face-time” has kale, cucumber, parsley, apple, lemon, ginger, and pineapple.  It’s sweet from the apple and pineapple, but not too sweet and has ginger and greens so you know that makes my belly happy.  I’m… Read more >

Warm with a chance of rain

Is still warm!! By now you guys must know what a sucker for warm weather I am. My mood is dictated by the sun so I am truly in heaven right now. And even rain storms passing through don’t bother me because IT IS STILL WARM. Hawaii is heaven. You know what else is heaven?  The ability to order food from a restaurant for all members of our family.  I will never ever take that for granted.  We still have a kitchen in our room, but I can do as little or as much as… Read more >

A long way to paradise

Would you believe me if I told you I worked out the morning before heading to the airport at 7 am?  Of course you would!  It’s ME we are talking about.  V woke us up extra early that morning to make sure I got my workout in.  Such a sweet girl, that one.  😉 We took lyft to the airport, which was the kids’ first times doing all that.  They were so confused about why a random man was driving us to the airport and then once we landed in Maui and got a rental… Read more >
