Exploring Oahu
Tweet While we loved staying at Aulani (more to come on that soon) we also got to explore the island of Oahu a bit. Here is a recap of some of our favorite adventures: Diamond Head – a 3/4 of a mile hike up the inside of a old volcano. The views of the ocean [...]
Disney’s New Hawaiian Resort Aulani at Night
Tweet We arrived on Oahu yesterday just before noon. We walked around Aulani for a bit, but all were exhausted. The kids and Christine crashed around 7 pm for the night, so I wondered around and took a few photos… This place is even more beautiful at night! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Tweet Well, our second week of school is just about at it’s end, kicking off our busy weekend with a half day tomorrow. Did I mention that my kids have a minimum day every Friday? Seems to somehow make up for the crazy busy, hectic chaos that is Monday through Thursday. But, I digress. Where [...]

Around here, Timothy is thrilled when it’s bath-time and both Julia and I are always so excited to enjoy special time with him. We love to sing, splash and play with bubbles. Lots of bubbles!

This year, however, with my kids attending a charter school, I have not gone a day without being reminded of what is still needed. Our school [...]

Tweet And, the Young kids ROCKED it!! Two things did I learn today: 1. My kids are better able to adapt to change than I am. They loved their first day of school, seemed to take everything in stride, and can’t wait to go back again tomorrow. Me? Well, let’s just say I’m still getting [...]

Tweet My oldest four children begin a new adventure tomorrow morning. Away from my watchful eye. Like me, they are nervous and anxious. But mostly they are just excited, I think. They’ve been in bed for hours already, getting a good night sleep before the big day, no doubt dreaming of their first day of [...]

Tweet My extended family is very large. There are almost 50 of us on my mom’s side alone. Family gatherings are a blast, but they certainly don’t happen often enough. There was a time when we would get together at least monthly, if not more. Everyone’s birthday in that given month would be celebrated and [...]
