Today, Prevent Child Abuse Hawaii hosted their 16th Annual Teddy Bear Round-Up! People from around the area were asked to donate a gently used or new teddy bear or stuffed animal. We collected over 9,100 stuffed animals to be donated to shelters, CFS and other organizations across the Hawaiian islands that support families in crisis and children in need in Hawaii. It was a great turnout and I’m so thankful to be able to help out with such a wonderful organization!

Today was the first day of our “Girls Club” with our girls at the Boys and Girls Club. Ms. Tia and are running the program to help the girls learn how to be comfortable with themselves, empower them to feel good about who they are, learn healthy habits and create positive relationships. Today we created our “The Awesome Rights of the Fierce Lioness Pack” which is the Bill of RIghts for our group. All of the girls contributed. They make me so proud! They are pictured below with the rights on the board behind them.

Today Josh and I had brunch at Cream Pot with my coworker and her husband and then headed to swap meet at Aloha Stadium. The food was delicious! Such a fun way to spend a Sunday :).

Josh and I split an amazing banana milkshake!
