Everyday Outfit

My everyday look consists of a T-shirt and shorts, or Tank top and shorts. The weather here in Hawaii is usually hot, even in winter. Very rarely do I feel like I HAVE to wear pants. It's a blessing and curse. I yearn for Fall weather here, and when it comes around every once in … Continue reading Everyday Outfit

When Moms Get Sick

I've been sick. For about 4 or 5 days now. I got sick while I was at work, so when I got home I was completely useless. Usually I plan my working hours so that I'll be home for half the day so I can relieve my husband of his fatherly duties for awhile. Oh, … Continue reading When Moms Get Sick

Halloween in Hawaii

Halloween in Hawaii

When I think of Halloween, I think of the movie "Hocus Pocus".  It's a pretty unrealistic expectation of what to expect for Halloween in Hawaii.
