Since this is such a festive time of year, I thought I’d put up some photos from a High Tea (formal afternoon luncheon with tea) that my mother-in-law took me to a while ago. (I thought it was so much fun… and I’m a coffee lover!) For those of you who are local to my area, the […] Read more…

I love this time of year… One of my favorite things about decorating for Christmas is the ornaments and how each one of them holds special meaning. (I gave Mike that little silver shoe in the photo when I was pregnant with our daughter–our first baby. There’s a heart that hangs from the shoe that […] Read more…

I grew up making gingerbread houses every Christmas. So when Mike and I had kids, that became part of our Christmas tradition too. I think gingerbread houses made from scratch–with all the intricate shapes and details–are so cute. But that’s not how we make them in our house. :) We do it the easy-peasy way: […] Read more…

While we were on our vacation in Oahu recently, we visited Pearl Harbor. We took a short boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial — the site where the USS Arizona battleship went down in 1941. It was amazing to look into the ocean and see the top of the ship still sticking out […] Read more…

It really was. Even though Mike and I had been to Oahu once before, we’d never been to Ko’Olina in Kapolei. It was beyond what we even imagined. The weather was perfect, and the views were breathtaking… (I’m sitting here looking at these pictures, just sighing. I want to go back!) It was such […] Read more…
