Waiahole Nursery
During Mother’s Day weekend we were in the middle of a bathroom renovation so our house was a disaster. We were looking for new things to do and came across Waiahole Nursery for brunch. They had a special menu for Mother’s Day (and free for mothers which was really neat)! The food was all farm to table and delicious. After lunch, we spent time walking around the nursery enjoying all of the different plants.

A couple months ago I had coworkers visiting. We met them in Waikiki at Volcano Shakes. The picture really speaks for itself….
Happy 2018!
Only a few months behind….for ringing in 2018 we hung out with our good friends Andy and Anna. We went up to Tantalus Lookout at Puʻu ʻUalakaʻa State Park for the fireworks. We had quite a view!
The Big Island: Trip 5
A couple weekends ago, we met our friends Lindsay and Channa on The Big Island for a quick trip. They were visiting from Seattle so we decided to crash their vacation for a couple days.
Saturday was a bit rainy so we slept in and then walked into Kailua for brunch. We ate at Daylight Mind Coffee Company (which was delicious) and then wandered back to our hotel.
My delicious (and pretty) latte.
Fish tacos
Papaya bowl and avocado toast
Such pretty flowers
After eating plenty of food, we decided to go on a short walk to the End of the Earth. We watched a few people jump off the rocks and enjoyed the spectacular view of the ocean.

After a relaxing day, we walked to dinner and enjoyed the evening!
On Sunday we decided to go snorkeling at Two Step. Great location with tons of fish! Videos below!
After lots of snorkeling, we worked up an appetite. We ate lunch at Da Poke Shack before saying bye and venturing back to Oahu! The poke was DELICIOUS.
Sunflowers
We visited the sunflowers on the North Shore this past weekend. It turned into quite an adventure as it happened to be raining and was incredibly muddy. The flowers were beautiful, even in the rain and it was a pretty fun day! We spent some time in Haleiwa and ended the day hanging out in the rain in the hot tub soaking off all of the mud!
Great Futures Start HERE
I’ve spent a lot of time lately preparing for the Great Futures Start HERE breakfast for the Boys & Girls Club – Windward Clubhouse. It is an amazing event where people in the community come to learn all about the clubhouse and the impact it has on the children that attend. I’m so thankful that I get to be involved in such an amazing organization. The video below shows a little bit about what we do “Behind the Blue Door”.
Some of the lovely ladies that made the event possible!
A double rainbow to start our day!
Chickens
One of my favorite things about Hawaii is that there are always chickens around. Josh and I went to lunch last weekend and saw these cuties hanging out. Brand new baby chicks…so cute!
Kenko Ya
Josh and I discovered a Japanese restaurant near our house a couple weeks ago. We both ordered combination plates and enjoyed everything we had! We went early as we hadn’t eaten lunch and it was already super busy!
