Channeling My Inner Carrie Bradshaw

To quote the always stylish fictional writer Carrie Bradshaw "Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself." Okay, I may have taken this quote to the extreme. Since beginning my bake-o-rama, I have been indulging in a cupcake every day. I usually indulge in t.v. daily too. I certainly indulge by living in Hawaii, and yes, by the title of the other blog I contribute to, I'm sure you would agree that I indulge in Starbucks. Yesterday, it was shoes. Since, like purses, they are the one thing that always fits (no matter how many cupcakes or Starbucks you might have consumed), I always feel it's worth it...and you walk EVERY SINGLE DAY. So, I decided to give you all a break from all the cupcake (well, sorta) photos and banter and share my cool find from yesterday. They're comfortable, cute, and cheap ($18.99 at Payless). They make you wanna dance.

Thanks D! I like your new pic. Glad you liked the cupcakes...Isom was not a huge fan of the coconut/raspberry. Whatever. Like pizza, even bad cupcakes are good...well, mostly.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
