The Elephant of Surprise Guest Post | Free Printable

My sister and I teamed up to create this free printable for back to school. I can't believe that summer is almost over, I feel like I have so much left to do before it ends. My sister has a great blog that if you haven't seen it, you must! Thanks Aimee, for always so many great and creative ideas and I am anxious to get this printed and in Patrick's room.

I'm a little sniffly today. It's my first-born's first day of preschool! I know, I know, it's preschool. One day a week. For 3 hours. But, sheesh, today it's preschool, tomorrow he's going to be driving! It's a killer, but I'm also so happy and excited for him! He has been asking me for almost a year to go to school. He's so eager, the first time I dropped him off at the IKEA play land a couple months ago, he ran in and said, "Bye, Mom. I'm going to my class!" 

I hope today exceeds all his expectations.

I came across this quote last week, and I immediately loved it. Short and sweet, but so wise. I thought it would be a great theme for my kids during their school years. (I know, my oldest is starting preschool. Eyerolls appropriate.) I envisioned it hung somewhere they would see it often and be reminded of the choices that bring happiness in this life. So I asked my talented sister, Leslie for a photo to pair with the quote. This is what we came up with together. Now I just have to find the perfect spot to hang it.


Leslie was kind enough to offer this image as a FREE PRINTABLE to all of you! Click here to get a copy for your personal use. If you need it resized, feel free to email me.

Thanks again to Leslie Leavitt Photography

Ready for warmer weather

Last summer we were living in Hawaii and nothing could be better than that! I am ready for these long winter months to be over. These are a few images from a fun day at Hanauma Bay. Patrick loved playing in the sand and we loved snorkeling. I hope this summer will be just as fun!

let's take the day off

Happy Monday! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. 

I have been pretty busy working on taking my business to the next level. I am wanting to have a new blog and website done within the next couple of months, so I have been busy getting the look and style figured out. There are so many options...it is hard to pick one. But between spending hours on pinterest, which I consider work and taking care of my baby boy, we took the day off and drove up to Laie.













I never have pictures of me and my family. I am always behind the camera. So I decided to set my timer on my camera and spent 15 minutes trying to get a decent picture of the three of us. It was not easy.


I hope you enjoy and please feel free to become a follower and comment...I love comments!

sun and sea

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend, I sure did!

Living in Hawaii is great, but like moving anywhere, it takes some time to get adjusted. For a week, we would wake up at 6:00 in the morning because of the time difference. But we are now settled into our new place and able to have some fun. We drove around the island and stopped at some of the most popular spots such as Blow Hole, Pali Lookout, Waikiki and Hanauma Bay. I never get tired of Waikiki. It has fantastic shopping, great restaurants and lots of entertainment.  













I took some photos of my parents for their anniversary, check out my facebook for a little sneak peak.
