Rock ‘n Rollin’ at the Hanalei Trike-a-Thon

June 28th, 2010

Every June, the Hanalei Canoe Club sponsors an 8 Mile Run/Walk culminating with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast. Of course that’s way too far for my two boys—Stone (5) and Tiger (2)—so we attended the annual “Trike-a-Thon” instead, a fundraiser for Aloha School.

A Saturday in Hanalei….

June 19th, 2010

My family has a pretty ‘typical Saturday’… the morning starts at Java Kai, the local Hanalei coffee shop where mom gets her morning espresso and the boys get the usual, Kauai Waffle (home-made waffles with fresh fruit, whip cream, toasted coconut and macadamia nuts).

If you’ve been on the fence about vacationing on Kauai this summer, may I politely suggest that you hop off… now! Because after a lackluster 2009 in which the number of airline seats to the Hawaiian Islands declined—and hotel occupancy was in the lua (that’s Hawaiian for “toilet”)—the airlines have been steadily adding seats and new routes.

Ultimate Kauai Dad!

June 1st, 2010

My dad is the most amazing, inspiring & wonderful human being. He is my hero… I think he really shined in my eyes when I had kids! My father’s love for my boys (2 and 4) is so natural, pure and with no hesitation. I guess, through my ‘mommy eyes’, I see things a little differently then I did as…
