Raising an Independent toddler, child, or human for that matter, hasn’t always been part of my M.O as mom. Anyone who knows me well – heck, anyone who’s seen me with anyone’s child, let alone my own, knows that I completely define the meaning of helicopter parent. I am guilty of hovering, following, peeking, checking […]
Peter Pan and The Lost Balinos :: FAM-O-WEEN 2019
Peter Pan and The Lost Balinos :: Fam-O-Ween 2019 Lately, I’ve been looking at my kids who are growing at lightening speed and thinking to myself… SLOW DOWN! Stop growing so fast!

How I faced my fears and made it into a snack: EASY FALL SPIDER CRACKER SNACKS I don’t know about you guys, but here on the island – sometime around the first week of autumn, the spiders are out in full force and ready to make their presence known. Can I just say one thing? Yuck. Yes…. […]
Pedalheads Summer Bike Camp Level 2 :: #GIVEAWAY
It’s summer time and you know what that means! Pedalheads Summer Bike Camp ensues!

A First Birthday Luau for our Rainbow Baby
It all began with this shirt… When our faves from Knuckleheads gifted Little Man his very own button down Hawaiian shirt, we were excited for him to grow into it. But for some reason, we just couldn’t figure out on what occasion he could wear it, in spite of the fact he is in every […]
Our Little Rainbow’s First Birthday :: Macaron Smash
Our little Rainbow’s first birthday is today, and we cannot believe it’s been over a year since *this happened…. But before that, this happened… And then THIS happened… It had just been revealed – we’re having a baby boy!

Monochrome Aladdin Inspired Kid’s Bedroom :: A Transformation
A transformation from a gaudy to modern Aladdin inspired kid’s bedroom: With all this talk of Disney’s Aladdin Movie coming out in theatres today, it reminded me of how obsessed my Little Mama has always been with Princess Jasmine.

The 16 Essentials for throwing a Kid’s Rockstar Party :: Thanks to Cricut
Throwing a kid’s rockstar party is no joke. It takes a lot of little details to fine “tune” such an undertaking. Especially when the rockstar is your 8-year-old-rock-lovin’-heavy-metallin’-daughter. One who loves powdered pink, no less. There are some fun essentials every Mama or party planning parent of a rockstar kiddo needs to get the party […]
Spring Declutter :: To Purge or Not to Purge
Sorry I’ve been a little behind on my posts lately…. It’s Spring! Declutter season! That means revisiting every room, every closet, every cabinet, every nook, every cranny, and finding what (and what does not) spark joy. Not surprising, spring clean up also inevitably means the blog has been put on the back burner for the […]

It’s National Siblings Day and we are celebrating in coordinating outfits and coordinating smiles … Well… “ish”… The benefits of having a wide age gap between siblings has been something we have been weighing out since the day I found out I was pregnant for the second time – 6 years ago. With every pregnancy […]
Minnie Mouse Birthday Party – Bows and Bow Ties
“If you can dream it, you can do it” Walt Disney And dream of a Minnie Mouse birthday party, she did. Earlier this week, our fave mouse (and truth be told, the only mouse that doesn’t leave me screaming and running for the hills – other than Minnie Mouse, of course), celebrated his 90th anniversary. While […]
Vegas, Baby :: FAM-O-WEEN 2018
This year has been a year of all the good stuff – Good luck, great fortune, and even grander blessings.

DIY Kids Cleopatra and King Tut Halloween Costumes :: Encouraging Kids to Create
“Mommy, we wanna be Cleopatra and King Tut for Halloween”. Sigh. I wasn’t completely convinced that my 7 year old and <gasp> my 4.5 month old understood what this actually entailed. Ever since our local museum featured the beautiful and everso ornate and interactive Egypt: The Time of the Pharoahs display, my Little Mama has been […]
Baptism Day :: Children and Faith
It’s Baptism day and our happy little man in white is more than ready. Raising our children in our faith is something that is especially important to George and I as parents. Whatever they choose as adults is their decision to make, and I will encourage them to explore and educate themselves as they continue on their […]
