As a kid growing up in Hawaii, I would dream about what it would be like to live in New England. Some ideas were probably pretty spot on, involving kids cheering on the Boston Red Sox while eating hot dogs. Others, like kids hiking in over a foot of snow to collect buckets of sap […]

If you told me a month ago that I would spend the beginning of November counting down the days until my reservation for the Waimanalo Country Farms’ Drive Thru Sunflower Event, I would have thought you were crazy. But that was before I experienced their drive-thru pumpkin event. October was a pretty busy month for […]

Baby Shark Concert: How This Grinch Got on Board with the Phenomenon

Unpopular opinion, especially from someone that writes a family-centric travel blog, but I don’t covet everything “baby”. I won’t ooh and ahh over a stranger’s baby. I’ve never told my kids it was “din-din” time or ask if they want a “baba” of “wawa”. It just isn’t me. So when I heard that Baby Shark […]

On our commute from #Tokyo to #Kyoto we stopped in #shinyokohama to visit the @ramenmuseum . While the exhibits were pretty cool, and we even walked away with some @ippudo boxes, what really made my family fall in love with this place was the @aodakeuchi make your own ramen classes. And Emma, whom ate her way through Japan one noodle bowl at a time, said this was by far the best bowl of the trip. 🍜

Thanks for the memories 2022! Bring it 2023 🎉🥳🍾
Here’s a secret I never told anyone before. Before we even left Hawaii, I was preparing myself to be disappointed during our visit to DisneySea. Heralded by many Disney fanatics as the best of the Disney parks based on its thematic set-up, I just kept thinking 2 things: 1) my kids aren’t going to be that interested in the architecture of a theme park (and I doubted I would be either) and 2) it was a park geared to older kids than mine. But how wrong I was! I loved loved loved DisneySea. To steal a line from Disney themselves, it was a whole new world.
And that’s a wrap! After months of practices, 5 days of performance hair and make up (which if you have been following my stories you know how much that stresses me out 🤣), a dress rehearsal, special Thursday performance and 3 sold out shows, @ballethawaii ‘s 2022 Nutcracker season came to a close this past Sunday afternoon. I am so impressed with all the dancers, as well as the employees and volunteers of Ballet Hawaii that made it all possible. I’ve seen this particular show several times from the audience but got a much deeper appreciation for it this year after catching the tiniest glimpse of all that it entails. A hui hou Mr. Nutcracker!
