Hey everyone! Question: have any of you guys heard of ice cream rolls? I hadn’t either until a few weeks ago. A friend of mine was raving about an ice cream place down in Mililani and once I saw pictures of her delicious treats I knew I had to check it out! The place is called Blue Bubble Creamery. They
Aloha everyone! My family and I love this time of year! One of our favorite family activities is spending a day at a pumpkin patch. There are two pumpkin patches on Oahu we frequent every year.

Last November, my family and I took a trip to the Big Island, and it was more than we could have ever imagined. Our children got to experience everything Hawaii Volcanoes National Park had to offer, and we saw some amazing waterfalls in and around Hilo! We dug our toes into some black (and green!) sand, snorkeled in thermally heated
Aloha, everyone! This week I wanted to share with you guys my favorite place to get shaved ice in all of Haleiwa. Now, I know that most people conjure images of Matsumoto’s Shaved Ice when they think about where they’re going to get their next shaved ice fix, right? Well, not me! You guys, nothing wrong with Matsumoto’s but they’re
I wanted to share a few things I do to help keep my kids as healthy as possible throughout the school year. Let’s be honest – I know they’ll probably come home sick at some point; however, I feel like teaching my kids good habits can help keep them healthy and set them up for success. How To Keep Your
Aloha everyone! It’s that time of year – the time of year we say goodbye to the carefree days of summer and begin preparing for the upcoming school year.
